Broughton Audio Super Thread

Gotta admit, the Glass Beams 'mysterioso-mask' schtick turns me off the way the Khruangbin wigs did/do. I can appreciate when a band puts time/effort into their stage show and production, but those things just scream gimmick whenever I see them. Both solid bands, though...no knocks there.
Yeah I think it is essentially a schtick. Slipknot esc but they can't look that crazy for the genre lol. I can get down with say Rammstein (not really masks though) and Gwar just because they themselves are more extreme in ways :laugh:
 
I slept through the drop despite having email notifications set up. The notification worked, I didn't lol.

Drowned my sorrows with a bit of retail therapy, picked up some limited tour merch from Periphery that also dropped this morning. Scored a wicked flag for my band's practice space:

Big shout out to Periphery. Matt, my brother and I did a podcast for a long time. Matt's one of my favorite people.
Great people, great band.
 
Nice score! Since you mentioned the skinny string guitar, which Broughton pedals do you find work best on the gee-tar? I recently picked up an Ibby semi-hollow and am having fun with it.

Well I'll be danged, the Azure Drive might be just what I was looking for actually.

That's awesome! I follow all the guys on Instagram, and have watched the making of videos for their albums. They seem really chill, genuine, and easy to get along with. And their live show is killer good!

They are all awesome dudes. Side note if you haven't ever heard of Oceans Ate Alaska they are in a similar strain to Periphery but a bit heavier. However their drummer Chris Turner is an absolute beast, and even crazier he doesn't trigger his drums.
