That's what I was aiming for here in a Pinder-ish sort of way. Sound guy just didn't have the levels right. Some other band was there and they told us they thought the soundwork was shit as well. The gig we're doing Thursday night has a reputation for even shittier sound, so I hear.
As we keep going, we've got some upcoming tunes that have given me excuse for more violins, the MkII church organ sound (whatever it's actually called), halfspeed brass, clarinet, and even that lady singing on the M1 Chamberlins. I'm rather excited about all this.
