So my first live show I'm going will be tomorrow night (10 May 2023) in Los Angeles, California. 

The band is called Moonspell (which includes the drummer Hugo Ribeiro who has appeared on all 19 Citizen Regen songs and a few others too).

Sounds like fun Ed!  Well, except for the part that you have to go to Los Angeles! 😆

If you call standing in a warehouse for 5.5 hours to watch three opening acts (one of which I really liked, Oceans of Summer) to get to see Moonspell then ya it was fun.

No real amps (all rack gear into the sound system). The first act was from Portlandia and brought their own drums. Then every other act shared a SONOR rental kit, but each drummer brought their own snare, kick pedal and cymbals.

The sound bordered on horrible since the house mixer seem to like all major sub kick drum, bass guitar at 60-61HZ (no clarity) and non-existent rhythm guitars but solos cut through. I could hear all three opening acts vocals pretty clearly (two of which I wished I would  not have ever heard them). All female singers. The middle of the three was by far the best.

 Of course Moonspell were the best performers but the vocals could have been a little more up front for my taste. Hugo was as great live as he is on all Citizen Regen recordings. He's a powerhouse drummer for sure. We only got to meet up after the set for about 5 minutes but it was pleasant chatting with him.
