Tonight I audition with a new band. After the fiasco with my last band, I've been extremely careful in choosing my next project. I'm currently working on an acoustic rock EP of my own music, but I need a paying gig to keep me out playing (and a few bucks won't make me bitch, either!!) Tonight, though, I'll be auditioning with a classic/modern rock band very similar to my last band. Several of the same songs, which will give me an edge at the audition. During those tunes I'll be able to relax a bit and let my playing shine. The best part? No amps. Yup, everyone in the band runs direct to the board at rehearsals. I hope that translates to live gigs, too. With the hearing damage I suffered with my last band, I now prefer to leave my amp at home and let the PA do its job. Here's my "gig bag" for tonight. It's the case that came with my Roland CD burner. It's the perfect size for everything I need to take to the audition. Apogee Jam, One-Spot power supply, Behringer DI (I never turn it on, just used as a DI box),IEMs, and cables all fit perfectly. The only other stuff I gotta take is my bass, my Gruv Gear Duostrap, and my mic stand. Let's rock!!
