Over the Easter weekend I have a gig at the Great Escape Festival in Sydney with the Leanne Paris Band. The gig should be fun, however we're booked at the insane timeslot of 1AM on Saturday morning. I was a little disappointed about this, I figured we would have a good crowd but they won't really remember us. Then I found out that only those people with camping passes will be able to hear us anyway. Everyone else gets kicked out at midnight.

Not happy Jan!

Oh well, like They Might Be Giants say, "If it wasn't for disappointments, I wouldn't have any appointments".

One of the fun things is that I will have a fairly new bit of equipment with me, the new Blue Boy Deluxe pedal from MI Audio.

I spent some time one afternoon with Michael at MI Audio recording some sound samples for his website and he hooked me up with one of these magic boxes. I've done two gigs with it already and it sounds great, it will be fun to do a big production gig with it.

Michael has a fantastic ability to make overdrive boxes that sound like amps, not like little boxes. This one is no exception. I was pretty happy with how the sound samples turned out, I think they do it some justice.
