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.

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas.  During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts.  We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs.  We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...

My DIY pedalboard

I am using an improvised setup for my effects and gadgets.  At the moment what Im using is a Digitech RP55 guitar processor and I bought on ebay an M-Audio expression pedal and sort of opened it and changed some polarity inside to match my Digitech foot pedal and it was a success.  I can now use the pedal either as a wah or whammy.  I was quite pleased with it because not only it's a small one but it's got a big punch. So much for that.  Now, having two pedals; a multieffects processor with the expression pedal connected to it, I think a pedalboard is a necessity.  Why?  Because the two pedals keep moving about and I had to kick it each time so that they are close to each other. What to do then? First thing's first, I looked online for DIY pedalboards as well as proper pedalboards that are commercially available and ready to be used.  Well, it's all good but I got an improvised setup so I was thinking that it won't fit my needs.  I ended...
