Day Twenty One -
Pittsburgh Aug 4th Made
Arabic food (Fava beans and pita bread with preserved lemon salad and olives), before the show for Alvin, Millie and
myself. The Metropol was well attended, it's a dark but modern night club with a number of
balconies and walk ways above the main floor. The atmosphere is really good and most of
the bands are getting a great reaction. Our set, however was ruined because the cl ub, instead of providing the Marshall amps called for on
the rider, decided to give us a Mesa Boogie practice amp! The guy said "Don't worry
dude," (He might not have actually said dude), "This thing kicks ass - it cost
me $700." Then we started playing and of course the amp was almost inaudible. They
cranked the monitors - nothing. The backline crew struggled to get any kind of guitar
sound for most of the set, including unplugging it in the middle of our performance. We
still managed to have fun though. The wire cage at the side of the
stage provided a back stage area where a who's who of punk watched the bands. |
