The Half Shell Heroes - Building a Memory (Live @ Lantzville)
A few weeks ago some friends of mine played a show for our friends’ wedding. It was both a great show, and a great wedding (I’m still looking for photos). I did sound tech stuff for them, and tried my best to get a live recording of them to boot.
It didn’t work out as well as I had hoped in that I wanted to get a live feed from the audience and a live feed from the sound board, but with all the crowd being as rowdy as a wedding crowd is, I was only able to get a board feed.
All that technicality to explain that you don’t get to hear much of the drums (I only mic’d the kick. Conner is a loud enough drummer), and in a few cases not much bass guitar either.
Of all that you can hear, it sounds quite wonderful. I’m quite impressed at how nicely everything sounds. It really doesn’t sound too “live”, but this is a straight raw feed.
The song also is an original by the Half Shells. I’d say “if you like this, go support them,” but they don’t have a site or anything yet. So if you like them, I have more recordings from this wedding, and a few other sessions I’ve done with them that I can/will put on request!
Enjoy!
