Any time a Ceremony song comes across on shuffle, I have to turn it down, as it always is way louder than what ever song was before.

As you know, I've got music from Ceremony on Air Atlantic Underground Radio. Any time I want to add another song from them to the station, I always have to run it through Audacity first and lower the gain before I can upload it otherwise I have that extreme difference in sound levels between songs. Same with Skywave's music (which is 2/3rds Ceremony). That's okay in isolation but not slapped up next to some other band. Weirdly, I often have to run the 90s Shoegaze through to increase the gains because of how the standard recording practices were back then.

Still stinging from having to miss that show. Just too many scheduling conflicts to make it. The worst being that it was just too blamed early!!! Could have done it tonight or tomorrw night, but no, the show had to be early, last night. Oh, well. At least I've seen each band several times before. Hopefully, several more times again sometime in the future. Love all three of them! Hope they got some new fans.

yeah, i thought the show was pretty damn good.  dunno where you were but people around me were definitely dancing during the whole show, it was relatively impressive for a DC crowd (i was on the floor, just behind the 4 or 5 dudes with blond wigs).  balcony did look pretty tame, but then again when i'm not feeling too high energy i often head for the balcony so i don't expect the craziest dancers up there.  from the middle of the floor sound quality went up and down - for a few songs, bass was way too loud.  good setlist indeed.

crowd was made up of an above-average proportion of gay men, and female hotties.  between them, alison's costumes and the silver half-doughnut on stage - plenty to look at :D

I'll be there!  And I'm trying to hit Fort Reno tonight too, if the weather holds out.  Gotta make the most of it while my wife and baby are away..

I'd forgotten about it and was chagrined just now to see that it's sold out, but I got a line on a ticket so I think I'm going.

Yeah, let me know if you're going.  I'll wear something slinky...er, for ease of meet up purpose, of course.

FYI, Fort Reno canceled for tonight.  Bummer.

Anyone tried Marah in the last couple of years?  Can't decide.

Fantastic. All the stories of their ability to make any room feel like a dingy basement are true.
I was a little disappointed yet not surprised to find out that they would use the stage upon arriving but am not sure how much it mattered. It might have made things a little more chaotic if they were on the floor but there was still plenty of savage violent fun to be had.

I would love to hear how that 15 guitars thing Buildings did was.
