[Incubation] Soft Metals live recording...

[the happy one]

Figure I should get this one out...

This show was at a hole in the wall bar called Amnesia in SF...unlike in the
UK, where all the shows wrap up by 11PM because that's when the trains stop
running, our shows typically *start* at 11pm, as this one did...utterly
ridiculous it should take so long to start up, including the time for
setting up the video projection, which didn't even get put to good use for
the show as somebody forgot to set up a DVD, so all we got was the title
screen...maybe this was for the best, see below.

outro...if you listen closely, you can hear the Soft Metals singer complain
about not being able to hear herself sing....

The quality of this recording is excellent, nothing in the way of re-EQ
necessary.   Tomzero also taped the show with my Sonic Studios mics, but
because they're omnis, they mostly caught the conversation between the guy
selling merch and his blonde girlfriend.

All but the third, fourth, and eighth songs are currently unreleased
(pretend you never saw DCoops' link for the pre-release), so I actually
don't want to post this publicly until their new album is officially out in
July.

Have video of one track,  The Cold World Melts, here, which gives a good
illustration of one the best uses of a Roland Juno since the Chemical
Brothers, greatly helped out by Patricia Furpurse (Hall)'s svelte dance
moves:

I also recorded the opening act, called Warrior Line, from LA (but used to
live in SF), who were pretty good as well, studio versions of their stuff
can be found on Soundcloud for those inclined:
