played a gig last night, ( or i should say attempted to play ) in Pacifica Ca @ Winters Tav.
have played there numerous times, usually pack the joint & literally blow it out
showed up early as usual & load in, set up, & before plug in, i use a tester to check the ground on the circuit, two green lights, so plug in, & everything sounds fine
rest of the band shows up,, repeat process, two guitar players / marshall half stacks
both guitar rigs are getting a VERY LOUD intermittent electrical humming/interference
no owner / manager / soundman on premises
place is filling up with customers to hear us
we're trying everything possible under the sun to plug into a clean circuit
ALL electrical circuits are SERIOUSLY JACKED
& the truth comes out, the week after we played our last gig there, the bartenders kept serving a patron wayyy too many drinks,, & after last call, drunk chick jumps in her 4x4 & puts it in D instead of R & nails the gas,,,, 4x4 flies up the landing, thru the wall, & winds up in the Tav, injuring numerous people
oh ya, & taking out half of the wiring in the process
bartender chick says that since the repairs, there's been a " problem " with the electrical circuits up on stage but " all the bands play thru it "
GRRRRRRRR
so,,,,
with about 100 people there waiting for us to preform,, we start breaking down & loading out
i hope we get paid
