Raw Metal toured down to Melbourne for the Games this year, as the organisers put on a free festival featuring heaps of different acts, with us being one of them!
On the first day we performed in the 'Soundshell', which was the main stage. I got to use a EAW KF750/755 rig (which i haven't used since Norwest Productions) and a Yamaha PM4000. I've never used a PM4000 before, and it was good to learn to use an industry standard desk.
On the second day we had a performance on the smaller 'teaching' stage. The Irony was that I got taught. The story goes that they didnt have our then-standard-rider PZM microphones. What they did have was two large-diaphragm condensor microphones. All i could say was 'wow'. They sounded great, and two of them covered the whole stage! Needless to say, they are now on our rider (They were Mann R21's...we're using Rode NT1A's now).
Here's a pic of me at the PM4000 (smiling, as always!)
