The following Saturday night we played at the Viking, a much better experience, the sound system was better and we had a different drummer, well drummers actually, that is a whole other story. We fired our drummer on the day of a significant gig. We managed to line up other drummers to get us through the night, the first drummer we got lined up couldn't make it for the first set, thus we recruited a second. Both drummers were notably better than what we'd had, they also knew how to play at an appropriate volume and use dynamics to fit with the band rather than continually swamping us in loud smashing drums so that we could not hear each other. So we made it through a stressful situation and are better for it. Though nervous about how things might turn out, at the end of the night the bar owner paid us more than he had agreed on before the night began so I guess he was happy enough. This is the flyer I made for this event. Mostly recycling the previous design with some minor alterations. I am hoping to come up with a new design for out next show, April 4th.
