Tours

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.

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.

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.

Vanessa Amorosi toured throughout Australia in June/July in support of her new album "Somewhere in the Real world". The show was catered mainly for the Pub and RSL market and once again her lighting designer Rohan Thornton had to address a no smoke issue.

"Vanessa really doesn't like using smoke which isn't a great thing for a lighting person!" remarked Rohan. "Sometimes the lighting can look a bit bland without smoke."
