Romsey 2010 Filipino Xmas Do

We had a lot of fun during this gig especially that the band really gel together after the two-set gig at Strawhenge Festival in King's Somborne. We had a lot of songs to choose from from Pink Floyd to The Who and Deep Purple to Dire Straits. Also we did Breakfast at Tiffany's, Walking on sunshine, A little respect, Stand by me and even Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

The only downside during this gig was Crossfield Hall where the Xmas Do was held, they got a sound meter and we were adjusting our volume time and again and we're very cautious that it trip the power and stall our gig.  Apart from that the crowd loved us and really enjoyed our music.

To top it all up, the food was excellent. Not only us but our guests as well enjoyed the food. Oh, I remembered Beth took a pudding and did not realize it was a pudding until she started eating eat. I think it was Buko Pandan.

We had the same setup, Ali's Pearl drum kit, Dave's Thunderbird Bass plugged into his Beringer ultra bass amp, Mike's Ibanez electric guitar, two boss foot pedal a stereo chorus and a distortion, and he uses his Fender 12 string acoustic for rhythm and were both plugged into his 60 watt vintage amp, my Lyon black start into a 15watt Hohner Panther guitar amp using my Digitech RP55 multieffects processor and my Beringer K450FX as our monitor and we used my Shure C606 mic along side my Peavey mic bundle and we were connected to Julius' PA system. Beth was our female lead vocals as well as backing vocals on other songs.

Here's a sample video of how we look and sound like.

EnergyXT comes with a flashdrive

EnegyXT comes with a portable drive or what we call flash drive.   In there are necessary files to run EnergyXT to any computer from a desktop or a laptop or a netbook as long as you got access to USB. The files that we need to copy are: clips presets projects samples temp\ energyXT2.exe energyXT.ini lame.exe libaam.dll xt.lck     energyXT2 VST.dll      energyXT.ini And paste these files in the program files with your folder EnergyXT then create a desktop shortcut or copy the shortcut onto your desktop.   The more you update your EnergyXT the more files will be included like rexloader, etc. You can now hop from one computer to another always make sure to keep your flashdrive safe and secure. This is what Im doing now, from Dell Inspiron to Sony Vaio to my wife's HP mini.  Really portable and handy.

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand.  I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...
