Berlin show - another weird sound guy
Last Sunday night we played NBI in Berlin. The promoter of the show was Robert, a guy we met last time we played in Berlin. He’s a fantastic guy and took great care of us.
We’ve come across a few weird soundguys, so we can add the soundguy from this night to the collection. Like I said before, we were touring with a Ukulele and a glockspiel. So we did each show without any microphones, and without using the PA. We would just come and sit with the people at the show and play some songs. It worked great!
But this meant that the soundguys didn’t have anything to do. For most soundguys this is a good excuse to go and have a drink or something. But not for the soundguy from NBI.
Halfway through our set, the soundguy who had mixed the previous bands came and sat down right next to us which was strange. We laughed it off, made some jokes about how he’s the new third member, people laughed. But he just stayed there. Then halfway through a song he leaned across me and started wildly waving his hands in front of Johanna as she tried to play the glockenspiel. Again, we just laughed and made jokes.. But what the hell? Bored sound guys- don’t let it happen.
We need a soundguy hall of shame or something
