TESTIMONIAL #0104.02.2017

“The audience was “Flabbergasted”, you were GREAT. I get so many positive re-actions about your gig, it’s incredible. You were Dynamite. So many people ask me;”Where did you find them?” and then I tell them honestly ; ”On internet”. Your video was so professional, I believed in you the minute I saw it and you had seve-ral of them. At one moment it even scared me, you couldn’t be as professional as your videos. But you WERE. It was just what I wanted..And then the 2 beautiful ladies, breathtaking ! The male vocalist and the saxopho-ne-player, the guitar, keyboards, drums and the best bass-player after Marcus Miller.You were awesome, guys. THANKS.”Carl Sas, Company ManagerTESTIMONIAL #02

Front of HouseThe house sound system must be capable of producing 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range at 115 db SPL on the back row of the venue without any noise, distortion or buzz.

Front of house Mixer: Must have at least 32 channels with XLR inputs, 10 pre-fader auxiliaries, and phantom power. Please have a graphic EQs set up on the mains and monitors at mix position.If opening bands have been approved, Midnight Avenue will need separate channels. This may require an extra sound board (or a digital desk). The channels on the FOH used by Midnight Avenue cannot be altered after sound check until after their performance.

B. MonitorsIf it is possible, we always prefer a dedicated monitoring desk console with an extra sound technician.Someone from the Midnight Avenue Staff will assist the house engineer and take the band through monitor checks after a line check has been done on all channels. This is the quickest and most efficient way for us to do monitors. The channels on the moni-tor desk used by Midnight Avenue cannot be altered after sound check until after their performance.We will need at least 08 different lines of monitoring:Mix 1 = In-Ear Drummer (wired)Mix 2 = In-Ear Bass PlayerMix 3 = In-Ear GuitaristMix 4 = In-Ear Keyboardist (wired)

A house technician has to be available at load in, set-up, and sound check as well as during the per-formance. Besides the house technician we require additional local stagehands to unload and load the backline supplied by the artist.In case of outdoor activity, the stage will have to be covered well in order to protect our gear in case of bad weather.A secure place will be provided for the band to store and collect the gear at least 1 hour before soundcheck and 1 hour after the show.

Artist will be responsible for depositing a personal credit card with each hotel upon check-in to cover any incidental costs including telephone and room service.We will also need a private room at the venue to prepare for the event.
