Mar. 19th, 2007 04:52 pmSometimes it strikes me how odd it is that people willingly pay for the privilege of stuffing themselves into a small room. Then, they permit other people with sadistic tendencies to aurally (not orally) assault them with technology that creates a sound whose only equivalent in nature would be standing next to an erupting volcano. Humans are a strange breed.
It's fun! But it's even more fun to be one of the sadistic bastards creating the noise.
I played my second show with Terminal Ready on St. Patrick's Day. It went well. Thankfully, our new sound was aggressive enough to hold up between openers Monolith and headliners This Means You, a pair of killer metal bands. They were heavy. You know the paradox: "If God can do anything, can he create a rock so heavy he can't even lift it?" Yeah, that's how heavy the rock n roll was that night.
My favorite quote of the evening.
Sound Man (finishing up a sound check): Hold on, let me see if I can get this odd rumble out of the mix.
Some Other Guy: What rumble? Shit, man. It all sounds like rumble!
It was an awesome night. I think the show put Terminal Ready back on the map, so to speak, for the local scene. It's been awhile since the band played here in Charlottesville. Hopefully, we can keep it up.
Hopefully, I can make some arrangement not to hold them back. My schedule will be unpredictable for awhile, being a new soon-to-be father. I think that's the first time I mentioned that here in LJ. I really don't update so much anymore. I have trouble breaking away from work to do it. Then, after work, I just don't sit in front of a computer, since I have to do it all day for work. By the time I post again, I'll probably be a father. Scary.
