Tours

The Stranglers

In March, UK band The Stranglers came to Australian for a short tour and Entertainment Installations supplied production.

Our MD (Neale Mace) travelled with the tour as Production Manager / Lighting operator.

The band has sold over 35 million records and the show was full of their hits.

Soundwave 09

Soundwave 09 was held at Eastern Creek raceway and we we supplied audio + lighting + crew for stages 3 and 4.

Like a smaller version of the Big Day Out, Soundwave features bands from all over the world (many of whom we've worked with before) and had a crowd of about 26,000.

Stage 4 was the metal/hardcore stage and was headlined by Lamb of God, who played to about 5,000 people.

We used some of our Martin W8LC Line Array, Midas Heritage at FOH, Yamaha M7CL on monitors.

Bullet for my Valentine

Bullet for my Valentine (currently on-tour for the Big Day Out) played their only Sydney sideshow at The Roundhouse in Sydney Jan 09.

We've done them before and it was great to catch up with Dave (their FOH/PM) again.

Dave used one of our Yamaha PM5D digital consoles at FOH and monitors used another digital console, Yamaha M7CL/48.

Local lighting guy Jason Watt used our lighting and rigger Bryce Mace to add to the in-house at The Roundhouse.

Tegan and Sarah

Canadian duo Tegan and Sarah played a Sold-out show in Jan at The Enmore Theatre Sydney.

Used the house rigging and added 4 x 2m truss uprights.

The Angels

Oz rock icons "The Angels" are back and touring Australia with their "classic lineup". With Doc Neeson back out front this is an awesome show.

We're looking after production for the whole tour using our Martin Wavefront, Midas Verona at FOH. Monitors use an A+H GL3300 + EV XW15 wedges.

Lighting is using an interesting combination of 24 x Par64, 16 x MultiPar (VNSP), Martin MAC250 Wash and MAC250 Entours as well as Molefay Duets and a Martin Atomic strobe.

There's also some nice floor lighting effects using some LED Par64 cans.

Shannon Noll - No Turning Back

Shannon Noll's new Australian tour is called "No Turning Back".

We're on-board with full production + crew.

The Whitlams

As part of their current Greatest Hits Tour we supplied production for The Whitlams at Belmont in Oct.

Yamaha M7CL for FOH, Martin Wavefront PA made a great sound at this sold-out show.

Bryce Mace did a great job on lighting using LED HoneyComb 72's, MAC250 Entours, MAC250 Wash a Jands HOG1000.

UnderOath played some Australian shows in Oct 08 to large crowds.

We supplied production for the Sydney show.

Local Central Coast band - A Silent Fiction was the support

Mesuggah

Swedish metal band Mesuggah came through Australia in Oct for some shows.

We looked after them at The Roundhouse (Sydney).

Their engineer Thomas pulled a mighty sound, using our Martin Wavefront and Midas Heritage 1000 console.

Monitors used our Yamaha M7CL digital console and EV XW15 wedges, they worked hard as the band don't use any backline and rely on the wedges for all their stage sound.
