The whole night The Paxtons, RJD2, my band had to deal with bad sound. We had monitor problems and people couldn't hear all elements of that band. Even RJD2 personally said to me and made clear to the engineers his dissatisfaction with the sound. At one point he yelled at the engineers because of this. You're probably like so does that make up for a "Mediocre" performance? No but when the students in attendance cant hear a word I'm saying, when you cant here our instruments clearly, when the backing tracks for an artist distorts, when you dont have good monitor mixes, and I lose my voice screaming trying to flow songs it doesn't make make what you deem mediocre any better. Your critiques of the sound is a very BIG indication of how it can make a difference. RJD2 had the benefit of being a well known artist with well known songs that you already know and love so even if the bass cracked or the sound sucked you would STILL would have a blast but as far as us openers if you cant hear us how can you truly enjoy it? Now I want to make this clear I LOVE Wash U and all the people that hosted the show and we plan on playing Wash U more in the future I'm also an avid reader of ELEVEN but before YOU cast stones at us or any act in the future REALLY evaluate the situation I spoke of above..... I graduated from Webster in Audio so I know how much difference good sound makes. Stay Positive, Fall I can take constructive comments so your feeling on our set is fine (iLLPHONiCS) and if you weren’t impressed with our performance I offer the invitation to you to come see us play again (on me) because I know and we have proved we can and often get down but to call The Paxtons whack based off the sound is in my opinion whack (No offense).
