It sounded about how it looked and vice versa…
I wasn’t sure if the room acoustics of the El Rey would be completely overwhelmed by the sound, but it was actually easier to hear what was going on now than at the Total World Anhiliation of the Santa Monica show last year. The band was looser, false starting a couple times, occasionally smiling, and utterly killing it with all the power of an asteroid strike. Deb and Colm don’t nearly as enough credit as they should.

And to repost: Here are the details of Kevin’s guitar set-up and the band’s sound design.
