Played bass with Harry Howards NDE the other night at the Tote. The joint is all clean carpets and spanking sound system. Quite liked it. There is also a taco stand out in the beer garden. I can now enjoy saying "lets blow this taco stand!" at the end of a night and experiencing it being rooted adjacent to some kind of a reality.
Clare Moore on drums, Harry on one of his excellent, collectable guitars and home made amp and Edwina Preston on vintage organ. I borrowed the bass amp of the other act, Ron Penos RSVP. It was a sansamp into a Galleon Kruger head into a 4 by 10 bass cab. then the other bass player , from Black Cab, brought his cabinet of the same size up and I had a massive tower to plug into. I've always complained about bass players amps, usually when helping them lift the things. Now I understand. You NEED that power under you to really get the oomph! required for the true bottom end!
Had a great time. Like driving a steam train. All that power at your touch. Dampening it and pumping it. Riding it!
