haha this is great. I 've was booked to play at this "club" that I've never heard of before in a rural area, with the promise that bunch of music-hungry kids would "pack the place". After 4 hours in the promoter's car, we pull into the parking lot and I see bunch of Harley's parked outside. So bells start ringing in my head, but I say to myself: "maybe..."
We go inside, and no surprises there, bunch of bikerz and biker-hos sitting around the bar under a huge cloud of smoke. I immediately turn to the promoter and he goes "Lemme show you the system". Hey at least they had a DJM 600 and pair of 1200s. I am still in complete shock by the way, still trying to figure out how this is gonna work out without saying one word.
Then all of a sudden I see this group of maybe 50 kids show up out of nowhere in their complete rave gear! The promoter tells me to cue up and cuts the biker-music real quick. All heads around the bar turn towards the make-shift-wooden stage (they had the huge main speakers,with the monitors right on top, set up right next to the tables on the stage with me; not gonna talk about that, did I mention that the stage was made out of wood with nothing underneath ) So I say **** it and start banging it. After my 3rd mix, some bikerz start leaving and more kids come in, but there are still some bikerz in the place! Hahahaha, I will never forget this, eventually this big bearded guy,well in this 40s, walks right up to the stage and starts yelling at me to turn off the music! I look at the promoter, he tells me to ignore the guy so I comply. :lol:
Dude eventually gives up and leaves the place with the rest of the Harley crowd, and kids pack the place, other than the sound issues, we have a great night.
:lol: I will never ever forget that guy's face
