Zvi,

(I'm sorry...this is the first time I've checked my own posting since I posted it!!)

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.

Just a quick bump to remind everyone that MPG will be playing at Pine Street in Livermore on Saturday, April 21st. Music starts at 9:00pm. For anyone that went to the gathering last month, this will be a chance to see me play MY stuff.

Hope to see some of you there.

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.

Thanks, Dave!

My brother (the guitar player) put that together with my help. I wrote the content, he put it together with the graphics.

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 >:-()

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?

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...
