Title: Fossil Fuel at Ballydoyle
Post by: jalevinemd on April 21, 2019, 02:00:33 PM

If anyone is going to be in the Western Suburbs of Chicago on 6/1/19, my band, Fossil Fuel, will be at Ballydoyle in downtown Downer's Grove from 9pm-1am. This is far and away our favorite venue. Great stage. Great atmosphere. Great sound guy. We'll be playing our usual mix of Classic and 90's alternative Rock to what should be another packed house. Hopefully the lawyers here on the Club will look past the obvious copyright infringement of our latest poster.  ;D

Sounds great!

All shows proof that the Chicago Gathering happened way too long ago... I don’t recall you having any gray in your goatee before!

Paul (who sports a lot more gray these days also) (and longs for a Chicago II Gathering)

Very professional video!  You guys sound good.  Do you have a dedicated sound person mixing the in-ears, etc.?

Bill, tgo

Thanks, Bill.


We use whatever sound guy the venue has. If they don't provide one, we'll bring someone. The snippets from that video were recorded live from one of our gigs at Q Bar. We couldn't use our own mixer because the sound guy wasn't familiar with it. So we couldn't control our own mixes. Being able to do it with the iPhone is really convenient and when you can't do it, you really miss it.
