7th Karnivool gig I've been The Ritz the worst sounding place so much overdrive and distortion.
A guest for Karnivool · Tue, 24 Mar 2015
A really excellent gig,n i go to quite a lot of gigs,going way back to the 70s. Didn't know too much of their material before going,got into them through one of my favourite bands also from Australia The Butterfly effect. I'm glad i went n will be giving them a thorough listening to n will definitely lookout for them touring again. excellent band!

A guest 60% for Sturgill Simpson · Wed, 29 Jan 2020
Thought the sound was very poor and I was standing near the mixing desk. The bass was booming and the synth kept cutting across everything. Had to leave early in the end because we couldn’t stand any more distortion.
