Band's First Show! (Jackson KE3 in full effect)

[CoryKer]

My band Barabus played out first show last night, and it went really well. We played 3 covers (Livewire by Crue, Livin' After Midnight by, well, you know, and The Wickerman by Iron Maiden) and 4 originals. It went over really well, especially considering we were a straight-up metal band playing with 6 other bands that were mostly hardcore.

Anyways, here's some pics!

Me in mid-solo.

The whole band.

What everyone wants to see... I can tell.

I also just got sent a short audio clip that someone recorded with their digital camera.

That KE3 is an awesome machine, isn't it? [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] I really do enjoy jamming the Maiden and Priest tunes on mine as well.

The show was videotaped, so hopefully I'll be able to capture the audio from it once I get a tape. And though we look pretty joke-metal, just screwing around, our originals are actually fairly serious... we have big melodic power metal-style vocals over pretty massive riffs (and still fairly shred-esque solos), so it's not like we're going for vintage cheese.

A lot of credit goes to our drummer, who comes up with amazingly interesting beats without overplaying.

And we're from the Niagara region, in Southern Ontario. We got offered 3 more gigs after we played that night, so it looks like we'll be doing alright for shows.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hell yes. I prefer a bolt-on satin-finished neck to a neck-thru anyways, so it's perfect for me.

I've still got to install the DiMarzio Steve's Special and Air Norton... wonder what I'll do with that EMG 81.

Throw in an EMG-85 instead of the EMG-81. I find that I get incredible classic fat tones out of it than with the EMG-81. Definitely great for that Maiden crunch.

What's with the beards-but-no-mustache look? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Is that what's hip with the cool cats nowadays? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Band\'s First Show! (Jackson KE3 in full effect)

Yeah, but for me it's mostly because the hair I could grow as a 'stache looks terrible. So it's the chinstrap or wolverines if I want facial hair, and the chinstrap is more presentable at a day job.
