huh, i've only ever been to the sunshine to see henry rollins do a spoken word--doesn't quite challenge the equipment like a band should...

[luvlylady]

Indeed. I am sure that it's ok space for that sort of thing.
How was your mini trip?

i should never do that again. (i drank too much.)

*but*, i know someone in santa fe that goes out dancing; i thought of you when i got the invite. i'm not sure how to square this with the fact that the bus doesn't leave anything that looks like late, but the planning for el tour de santa fe continues. ;)

[luvlylady]

Yes indeed. I am so excited. :)

I can tell you two things here:

First, the problems with the sunshine are acoustical in nature. Basically, you build a building as a theatre designed to project any sound on stage everywhere in the room, and this is great when you're building it before amplifiers exist. But, you amplify anything on the stage and something happens that we in the business refer to in very technical terms as "the high end goes apeshit". As aisa0 accidentally pointed out, one guy talking is fine, but as soon as it's a modern band... woooah. Essentially the high end bounces all over everything and makes everything incomprehensible, and so everyone turns up to compensate, and it gets worse and... ad nauseam, sometimes literally

pvck nailed this one. my layman's guess (read: science? what is this science?) are the high ceilings and reflective surfaces (more smooth like concrete vs cloth

i have refused to give the sunshine any more of my money until they spend the $$$$$ it would take to properly rework the place.

And not just sound. I mean really, you can make bathrooms that arent totally shit for under $1000.
