So after almost 4 months of not getting together as a band, it was time to
return to work and get ready for the Nightwish tour and start looking at
new music as well. On Tuesday we all (except for Tony) went to the
Studio57 once again to set up our stuff as well as figure out our new
monitoring system, which will be used on this US tour. At around noon we
arrived and started out by having lunch ;-) The rest of the day was spent
catching up and setting up the gear etc….and of course having a few beers,
quite a few in fact….

We finished the setup and played through some songs, hanged out and talked about
this upcoming year and what kind of schedule we’d try to set for everything…and
of course spent the evening watching crap on youtube ;-)

As soon as Tony arrived we went out for lunch and then proceeded to planning the
setlist and rehearse for the rest of the day. It sounded surprisingly good. We managed
to play through most of the songs that we’ll be playing on the next tour.
Friday 15.1.2016
Just got up in the morning and talked a bit about the upcoming weeks, re-scheduling some stuff etc…and then it was time to leave for the train and head home. It’s great to be back after doing a bunch of other stuff this fall….
cheers,

ReplyDeleteAlso is the Kronos new? Was it the one you were using at the SV show or am I misremembering?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I did use it on the E.Vil/SV -tour for the first time, up until now I've been using the Korg M3 with SA....so there's a bunch of programming to be done before the tour...
