Zvi, (I'm sorry...this is the first time I've checked my own posting since I posted it!!) www.mpgmusiconline.com Here's our currently-under-construction Site, which should give you a rough idea of what we're like. FYI, I played the Rogue exclusively that evening. | ||

Fantastic site, can't wait to see it when it's fully developed! Looks like you guys are doing some great music - I really like your concept. Also, the bass/keys combo (a-la Geddy?) is cool. | ||

Well, here (hopefully) are some pics from the show It was a cool 102 degrees that day, but the wind started to pick up as we played  Our singer and drummer had been there pretty much to whole day, hence the color...  Gwathnar gave a great performance...if I was only that good...   We were invited back to play another festival in September...more details to follow.. Ken (TEO) | ||

Here are some pictures from the gig last Saturday:       All I can say is, thank God I had LEDs on the Series, because my corner of the stage was almost pitch black from lack of light. | ||

Not a gig, but you can see a couple of videos of MPG in action at the (infamous) Fernley gig in Nevada last summer. Love Ain't Fair The Pendulum We're polishing up our CD, see keep an eye out for it soon! (For some reason, it only let me format the first link, but not the second >:-() (Message edited by davehouck on February 29, 2008) | ||

Cool!!! Just curious; I don't know anything about video. Is the sound coming from the board into the main camera, from separate condenser mics, or where? | ||

Advanced Member Username: kenbass4 Post Number: 277 Registered: 10-2003 |
That's the camcorder's stereo mic, which was positioned next to the mixing desk (by design) Thanks for fixing that link too! :-) | ||

Bonnie, That gig was in August...in the Nevda Desert. The sound crew had problems keeping the mixing desk from being carried away by the dust devils (That's not a joke) Fernley isn't the middle of nowhere...it's actually on the outskirts (again..no joke) :-) | ||

Hi Ken Sorry about that,I thought the pictures were more rescent,Being new to the club I should have read the date,My being blond has nothing to do with it.In that case,dust wind and heat. a different type of challenge. I can,t imagine what it would do to a singers voice. Cheers Bonnie | ||

Once the sun went down, the wind wasn't that bad...and we kept A LOT of water onstage for Lori (our lead vocalist). The gig had a lot of challenges, hence the "infamous" reference... | ||
