If you know Lou...


you will know that this smile is not a smile of happiness, rather a smile of complete anger and frustration. We get to the gig at Palm Springs, which is potentially going to be a great gig. The stage is huge, the power is awesome. Everything is going our way. (So something has to go wrong, right?) Right...We're setting up and getting ready for sound check, when we hear a snap, crackle, pop. (Not a good sound, unless your sitting down to a nice hearty bowl of Rice Krispies.) It turns out, Lou's monitor console tanked right before the gig, hence his mood described above. Needless to say, we did pull the gig off. It wasn't the most ideal situation, but thanks to our tech savvy sound guys, we were able to give the audience what they came for. (oh wait, they came to hear a 50's band, because that's what the radio promoted us as.) So, we didn't give the audience what they came for. We gave them something better!
