@loungefly611 We have never played "the region" but I'm not opposed to it at all. If a show comes up I would gladly take it. I actually used to spend some time out in NWI. Blue Top is looking fantastic since renovation. Also, I miss Illiana Speedway because I used to go to their Crashfest twice a year. You haven't really lived until you've witnessed a last man standing figure 8 trailer race in person.
@flyingmerpa Thanks for the compliments. Those old videos were done at Mutiny. To be clear, while that is my all time favorite venue to play for its raw grittiness, their P.A. pales in comparison to the place we played the other night. At the Mutiny you can never really hear yourself singing. Their sound setup is very very basic. It's a dive bar with a modest P.A. that's kind of slapped together. Kind of like playing at a glorified house party. Whereas at Reggie's , they are a decent sized venue that nationally tourings acts regularly play at. It's a totally different experience. There are both front and rear of house audio personnel and if you can't hear something on stage you just say something to the front of house sound guy and its addressed. The end result was that the other night was a much better sounding show than anything we've done previously.
