hah.  so we missed the 9:15 and we DID see this show despite my 
claims otherwise.

Laila has a nice medium-sized basement room with the usual decent 
sound system you see almost everywhere these days -- can't remember 
the last time I was in a club with crappy gear, I remember doing 
shows on Vocalmaster speakers in my youth.

We showed up on time after blowing our other show but there were some 
tech troubles -- I don't think the video ever got working? but the 
audio mix did get in there nicely with only a hint of feedback twice 
(always an issue with effects).

We certainly enjoyed the show and there was a lot to like about it -- 
fine musicianship from all three.  Ms. Coloff is a strong front 
person, a fine cellist with a brilliant voice, Mr. Green a steady 
solid presence and Mr. Calhoun's slamming beats are something I envy, 
though I wanted to see more Kyma madness.


I paid pretty damn close attention to this, actually, and I could 
give you the full review if you wanted to, either here on the list or 
privately (my detailed reviews can be pretty harsh at times <grin>).
