I: The Chase, jam > Buquebus, Psygn, May Fly Disarray*, Honey Butter
* Power outage causes Tim\'s guitar to go mute for 5-10 minutes.
Thanks to FieryBill for the setlist!
-
looks like a decent setlist list. glad everything went okay and the band played and got paid. any word on how many people were there?
-
5-10 minutes?
I didn\'t know the show was actually being held at the Powder Hollow Barn.

i\'m bad at this stuff but i\'d say 50 people were under the tent watching the show. There were way more than that at the festival, but fifty is my guess to the amount that watched them play. There were multiple stages (2, maybe more? I only saw 2) and they played at kind a mini tent, if you will. The other stage had a bigger area underneath the tent. That\'s the one I figured they were gonna play at when I was first doing my "roaming" of the area.
And as for the power outage, I mean yes it was kind of a buzzkill but that shit\'s outta their control, ya know? And again, 5-10 minutes is just my guestimate, but it was definitely not 2 minutes and wasn\'t 15. $50 bucks for an hour of playing is the most I\'ve ever payed for a breakfast show, but considering all the $3, $5, $8 or free shows I\'ve seen where they went balls to the wall just like last night, I\'m cool with it! I asked the girl at the gate for some kind of 1-day discount (1 band really!) but she said no. Oh well. I\'ll never turn down a chance to see them guys, so I\'m glad I did it. This was the first annual "Rock Your Art Out" festival and I\'m glad everything (almost) went smoothly. Hopefully they\'ll be back next year with a 2 set ser-a-thon baby. It should also be noted that Adrian was playing a different drum set. Steve or Greg could answer this I\'m sure, but was it somebody elses? His backup? I don\'t normally pick up on shit like that, but I noticed they were green and didn\'t say "Smith" on them.
Oh and thanks to the band/crew for always being so freakin friendly before these shows... you guys are a pleasure to be around on/off the stage. And Greg thanks again for the birthday wishes, and good to meet ya cosmoechuck
Till Red Square... ahoy!
oh and I forgot to mention I saw a taper there so hopefully we\'ll be hearing this one again! :)

:rimshot:
$50 for the festival, but if you bring some can goods you can get in for $43!

"oh and I forgot to mention I saw a taper there so hopefully we\'ll be hearing this one again! "
Did you get a name or email from the taper, or was it one of the regs suspects.
-
i assume it was either mike or kyle..
-
both of us.
and listened to a little of it last night. sounds pretty good
-

Hahahaha!

It was both of us. we ran one st of mics, the 461\'s NORTf and it sounds really sweet. The show was nice if short. as mentioned the Buquebus .Psyn was worth the price of admission alone. ( And there was actually some other good music during the 2 days too-Maganahans Revival was one)
I thought Ron\'s Bass was oozing with perfect sonic bottom for Tim\'s guitar. They didn\'t have time or room, so Tim set up with no keys. Very nice indeed. I will post photos and mike will post the music as soon as he can, I am sure.
I didn\'t notice about Adrian playing a different Kit, someone else can answer this hopefully.
-
so much for the 2 sets at 8pm.
haha.
well at least it looks alright on paper.
-
at least they were headlining. can\'t wait to listen
-
first off it should be noted that the band played a somewhat stripped down set up. No keys at all for timmy. Adrian played a band called Desolation Angels kit. Ron was on his usual rig.
For political correctness purposes all I will say is that it was a pretty \'relaxed\' festival. Basically everybody that was working the production of the event had their own \'idea\' of what was going on, but a lot was obviously lost in the mix....
We were playing a second stage which was essentially a tent that couldnt have been too much bigger that 20\' X 40\'. The stage was tarps on dirt, and the power was coming from an extension cord running from the window of an old bus parked behind the tent. the sound system was a very small PA setup that chadwick nearly blew to bits.
The day had all the makings of a gigantic disappontment. however, the breakfast did, what they always do, push their music to the next level like the triumphant rock gods that they are. It was down and dirty rock and roll in the upstate woods with a bunch of drugged out hippies and all sorts of freaks about.
The night also saw the return of "save side". Basicaly a reverse GTB setup. And the save basically gave one of the most skillfull performances i have seen from him. he was defintely adding some tasty bass morsels all night.
The Buquebus and Psygn were by far and away the highlights of the night, and if I had to pick only one highlight it would have to be the Psygn.
It was definitely nice to see a nice cross section of .infoers at the show last night......thanks to all you guys for your generosity and such......i was definitely feeling very very very tall by the time the van pulled away from the grounds......
-
well, good to know everyone made it home.
-
I saw this festie advertised as "Rack n Friends" would this be the same guy that used to run around with the infamous fast eddie????? if so they should of just called it sketchapalooza... either way glad to hear that the breakfast were able to "push their music to the next level like the triumphant rock gods that they are." - couldn\'t have put it any better, stevie...

I am not sure who fast eddie is, but i am pretty sure you are on the nose with Rack......He was over at the van paying Ronnie and I felt like I was in a scene from the movie Rush. Def Sketchapalooza. However a good time was definitely had......

Fast Eddie is his brother.
I was pleasantly surprised by the "festival" it was a very relaxed atmosphere. There was some food vending and regular vending. Only like 2 to 4 vending maybe a little more. It had a picnic like feel to the whole thing.
Other than the music organization (ie who plays where at what time) I though it was a pretty fun night.
Certainly was cool that you could have bottles. I almost forgot what it was like to drink beer out of a bottle at a festival.
-
was a great weekend. thanks again gencs. wish they got more time to play. best queb i think ive seen and thats big considering ive seen some great quebs.

The only other real complaint other than music orginization would be the fact that there wasnt even a stage at the second stage.....it was literally tarps on dirt.......they did bring 2 wooden pallets for the bass and guitar amps but other than that it was pretty much a doozie stage set up..........
Mike, how did the Breakfast Gypsie Tamboureen Section come out on the tape?
-
^^^i wanted to take that guys tamb so bad. he came over and asked me for a rip off the ole glass and i really wanted to say "sure if you promise to put the tamb down till these guys are done playing". but i felt bad for him so i kept my mouth quiet.

So needless to say, there were no lights?
sketchapalooza
rotfl It\'s got a nice ring to it!

Pretty hard to do without a schedule. :sigh:

That must have been a nice treat!

I am pretty sure that the lights, think christmas lights strung behind the band as well as a light ball (think old school breakfast light show circa 99/2000) was the main reason for Tim\'s power issues during the set........Where I plugged in his power supply while setting up was not even close to where I unplugged it from after the set.......

Pretty powerful Christmas lights there. I doubt they were the cause of your power problems. More likely dirty and not enough power caused the outage.
-
I am pretty sure that we were working off of one power strip for both tim and rons gear, possibly including the PA as well......
The problem with the lights was that they were trying to plug them in and set them up during soundcheck > beginning of the set......so someone fucked something up back there....

Yikes! That\'s no good.
Tip to save your musicians trouble: Always check your stage right before show, anything related to power that you or Ellis did not do YANK! (well ask Ellis what he did and check it first ;) )See what happens and apologize later if need be.
People think power is power and just plug shit in where they see a plug. Most have no clue what the fuck they are doing when it comes to power distribution.
-
this was definitely a one off clusterfuck of insane perportions..........
we usually have our shit together pretty good.....
-
they should just pack acoustics for this type of situation
-
The stripped down version, no keys and adrian on a much smaller kit, was actually quite ser. I would love to see the same setup on the boat this friday. Balls to the fucking walls, kick you in your face, and step on your throat rock and roll, with the triumphantness of a Col. Forbins ascent to the top of mount icculus......ser biz indeed.

you just don\'t want to have to load and unload all the bands shit on to another boat. Hopefully they let you park a little closer to the boat than NYC.

good assumption however totally wrong.....we basically had to unload the whole trailer anyway in order to get to ronnies bass cab, so its really no different......I have no problem loading and unloading gear brah. that is kinda my job........hopefully the load in/load out will be more convienient than the nyc boat.....either way it should be a rockin good time.
