Notes: Dr. DK invited me to open for him again, the Gulu Gulu 8:00pm slot is a couch cushion where my butt fits perfectly. Comfy!
My wife was my roadie again, and also ran video for the first video of Drift SPaceman live at the Gulu Gulu.

* The Tesseract is a new track, its still in its begining stages and will no doubt evolve but I figured I would debut it and add it to my catalogue.

Notes: Another Gulu Gulu gig opening for Dr. DK. This place is becoming home. No Danno for this show, but the wife filled in just fine as my roadie for the night.

*DS > Raygun 6:50 – A downside to having computer as a band and not an actual band is that sometimes you hit the wrong pedal and shut off your band. Plus side to that is I don’t think anyone noticed.

Notes: Second Video Gig. Great set, really happy with it. First time using Three channel stereo for audio, so I had left/right channels and a sub woofer going in the room and it sounded sweet. The feed I’m giving the amp is stereo, the same as what is recorded, but I’m using my old home theater reciever as my amp and utilizing the sub woofer channel. Its was nice to hear the bass seperated from the main mix.

Notes: First “video gig” shot in studio with lights and 3 cameras. Still need to work our encoding for an hour long video and keep it under 500mb for Vimeo. If anyone has suggestions hit me up using the contact page. I may keep trying different encoding until I get what I like, so the video quality may change at some point, but it will be for the better.
