Back 2 Mine, My House (Formerly Stinky's), Leeds, 28/08/06
Those of you who are observant will notice that this one was the day after the last gig we did.
We were up at 8 and out of the hotel and on the M1 for 8.30 making fairly good headway up the M1. Got into Leeds at an earlier than planned 11.00 and had a quick geek round maplins before heading over to Stinky's for a 12am rendevouz with the Andy monster who was in bouncy high spirits.
We set up at a fairly relaxed pace, getting our gear out the way in the corner and filling the club with 3 screens - the room isn't that big maybe 30ft square with ceilings no higher than a normal room, so these really filled the place. We kept the rig simple running three laptops and a dvd player and dv player through the switcher into the mixer, to get the three outputs from a single mixer we did without the preview and used that as another output.
This was a pretty long day - 12 straight hours of banging hard house, so we took it in turns and took a fairly relaxed approach to the mixing. Andy was on top form and spent a good long time behind the mixer, working the crowd and dancing topless at one point. We all indulged in a little boogying at one point or another.
The crowd were really friendly and up for it with around 150-200 of them going for it hammer and tongs in a little sweatbox of a room at it's height. We got some really good comments and feedback on what we'd done with the promoter being particularly enthusiastic.
Got home for around 1am and collapsed.
An attempt at getting all three screens in one shot

Rockstar VJ - Andy in the mix
