Most gigs we are set up and soundchecked way before the place opens
though, that really is the only professional way. If it's a venue that
knows anything about live music there will be a schedule for all bands
soundchecks so support bands etc are ready too.



what bugs me much worse than no soundcheck is after the show , the clubs
patrons are gone yet to barbacks blast the house PA at full tilt with
thier favorite "music" for just the three of them to "enjoy"

Earplugs George, I use the westone so I can still converse when I need to.
Saved me many times. But nothing like blasting tunes after the gig, geez.
