REALLY rough around the fringes! Indie rock live at Forbidden City!

Details:

It was a hot and steamy night last Monday at Forbidden City. Three local bands and one from Cincinnati were on the bill. Things started out okay with the first band, The Shoobies, but really started to melt down, quite literally, while Manager was playing. The laptop I use to record with overheated and started to glitch out on me. I propped it up to get better airflow and fanned it with my laptop case til the set was over. During the break, I shut down everything but my recording software in the hope that this would reduce the load enough to troop through the rest or the evening.

It seems to have worked because the recording I made of the Cincinnati band, Lung, worked out fine with no glitches. But the fun wasn't over! During the last set with Dong Vegan, the PA melted down during the first song. I made a few adjustments (turned everything down a li'le bit) and we were back on track again!

So, even though a couple of the sets were messed up, I'll play 'em anyways. I try to catch the spirit of an event in my recordings as much as the performances and this will be a true portrait of a hot, loud evening at Forbidden City!

Forbidden City seems to be filling the void left by the closing of Vibrafusion Labs as a downtown indie event spot.
So, for the remainder of the show, I'll replay another event from there that happened about a year ago.
