Anyone coming to our gigs wondering why they can't hear much of the guitars would only have done so because htey'd spent the previous night's gig with their head in the cab, and we'd knocked all the audible range from their lugholes.
Now I think about it, we never had problems like this at proper venues. Places like The Garage, the LAII, the Astoria, fuck, even the Ballroom and the old Falcon understood that bands knew their equipment. You don't spend three or four days in a rehearsal room for six months before going off on tour in order to half arse your sound when you're on it. Only place I was ever told to turn down was at the Southampton Joiners - and that place had a stage that was literally four feet deep, so fuck them - and the Uxfest. And no-one ever got a good sound at the Uxfest, so fuck that guy.
