    Drunk Drummer

    When I got back into playing in a band, my first band was a 3 piece where the guitarist/lead singer was an alcoholic. I don't drink before or during gigs as view this like work. The drummer would try to match him shot for shot and beer for beer. By our 4th set it would be a sloppy mess. I...

    My band played there in September. Their sound guy was new. My sound guy helped him to mix us and we sounded great - we run an in ear system and no amps and e drums. The bands after us sounded horrible and were way too loud.

    Sorry to hear. Nothing worse than the anticipation of a gig at a place you want to play and then the venue pulls the plug.
