Sooooo in a rather random turn of events, I ended up playing my first gig at The Fillmore. They needed a DJ to open before The Bloody Beetroots. Bob, the producer/lead singer, used to be JUST a producer and DJ but now has transformed what the Beetroots were into this weird heavy metal/electro hyrbid trio. He plays bass/guitar/piano and has another guy on synth and a drummer. It was high energy as hell, but the strobe lights were absolutely killing me. I was sitting on the balcony to the right of the stage and got a major headache.
As for my own personal experience DJing, the bass was INSANE and the staff was BEYOND friendly. I was super surprised but it seemed like just about everyone there was ready to lend a helping hand. As I stood backstage probably 5 or 6 different people walked by asking if I needed anything or if I was doing fine. Then I went on from 830-10 and had a blast. The crowd was fun and it actually became nerve racking with the amount of people showing up and I had this huge stage to myself. It was an awesome experience and even stranger considering it was my 2nd time there. The green rooms are lovely too. Anyway.... It was an odd Saturday.
