doubleB Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 So in keeping with today's theme, I have some nasty shit to say.....I went out to the Mercury Lounge last night. The band that was playing was called Frestyle. Should be called no style! This was a 7 piece band with a weird arrangment. 1 DJ, 1 guy on drum machine, and 1 guy on hand drum. Between the 3 of them, they couldn't produce one decent beat, GM could kick all 3 of their asses with 1 arm and 1 leg. The rest of the band was a bass player, a Scofield wanabe on guitar, a bad keyboard player and to top it all off, an MC. I have never seen 7 individuals perform in their own space like this before. No one was listening to anyone else and the MC was screaming over whatever groove might have existed.. It was a freaking mess of sound and my ears are still bleeding.In fairness to the band, there was a new sound guy working who obviously knew nothing about that room, the levels were all wrong and caused me to cringe more than onceWorst show in a long timeI need a good muffin!
