Rockfest 2010

I really should try to blog about things when they actually happen, but c'est la vie.

So last year I got involved with Consumed in Poulsbo, and there was a plan made to do a full day of concerts in a mini music festival type of format.


Here's a peek at the venue during soundcheck/setup, more pictures after the jump.




So, first things first, had to get stuff all set for things to happen, so we'll start with that. As always, click an image for the full size (especially the darker ones, they are much easier to see when they're not tiny).

Started prepping gear and the venue on Friday night (7/30)

Piles of sound gear and lighting equipment

Hurray for piles of lights!


Recording interfaces


EQ's, amplifiers, and whatnot oh my!


Starting to get things set up for our preliminary equipment tests


Soundboard view down to the stage


Lighting board, yes, very basic this year.


Josh getting lighting trees positioned


Blurry, but clearing up after doing a full band test Friday night


Saturday Morning (7/31)

Getting ready in the morning, doing a pre-show meeting with the bands


Our sweet parachute canopy. Got to keep the sun off the stage!


Josh and I getting things connected up in the soundbooth


Quiet by Ten doing a bit of soundcheck & staging.


More fun in the soundbooth


People everywhere! Mostly getting gear stowed, and getting the back-lining done on stage


And a bit more of the same


The New Divide doing a bit of soundcheck


During soundcheck, getting the recording stuff set up as well


Mikey Moore starting off the day with an acoustic set


The Calvary worship team. I think they were calling themselves "The Upstaged" and playing a rock 'n roll set.


The other part of the band


some sort of crazed rock gesturing


Redeem the Exile bringing a bit of hollerin' to their rock n' roll


Bringing some intensity to the forest


I think this is just a cool shot of how rockin' in the forest the venue actually is. Also, our stage-ninja Paul.


Might not be obvious, but playing in the middle of the day in the summer is hard work.


We even had a bit of serious discussion time with Daniel Williams


Jeremy of Quiet by Ten kicking things off in the evening


Duct tape solves everything, and vintage drums are cool


I realize that most of the upcoming are somewhat dark, but it was dark out, and I was busy running sound. I have no idea who had my camera at this point. ha!

Friday at the Lake. These guys have enough energy for ten bands, seriously


Tom from Friday at the Lake


Julian of FATL bringing the rumble


stage view


Drums look cool in lights


Steve and Andy of The New Divide bringing the show to a close
