Awesome. Sounds great! (The band, not the video quality )
Sorry for the video quality. Low light, low quality camera, and the bassist decided to make it a really small video (?).
I'm hoping to get more raw footage from him, lighten it some, and post some more stuff.
So take it for what it is!

On a positive note, this was the first show with the new PA (2 Behringer 12" powered speakers and a Behringer 16 channel mixer). Only vocals and drums are mic'd, but we're looking at running a light mix of the guitars for the next shows. I have to say this is probably the cleanest sound we've had when not using a club's PA in our whole 20+ years together.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Big props to Northern Redneck for helping me choose PA stuff. That was a big part of the sound clarity.
DD does 23 years count as a long time? Makes me feel old!
EVB, I'll let you know next time we're playing. That was in Westchester, but we're hoping to spread out maybe do some Danbury shows, so not too far from you!

The Vid quality isn't very good, so I went out to your myspace and listened to a few of your tunes. You guys are pretty tight and well balanced ! The songs are well written, structured, and played. Great job, Kaos !
Thanks Nio. Those are old songs too, like 10-15 years ago.
I'm trying to get the guys writing some new stuff that is a little more "current". We'll see how that goes.

Pros and Cons RHD. Best friends, know each other like back of hands, very tight as a band. BUT, charge doesn't come easy so stagnation over the years. We're starting to branch out musically, with some pushing from me, so I'm hopeful.
For example, I listen to you Outflow and you sound much more current than us IMHO. So I'm trying to get them into new music through covers and just listening so we are more current, but also with the hopes that some new modern originals will be on the way.

What's modern??? Write and play what you like...don't try to sound like everyone else on the radio right now. Our big thing is building throughout the songs and using a lot of dynamics, you just don't hear a lot of that anymore these days. And we like guitar solos too. But I guess we aren't very modern either.

I guess my point is that at times we are stuck in an 80's rock feel. Not everything, but just sometimes. Some of our originals from the late 90's have potential to be cool.
We definitely don't try to sound like anyone. Just some of our stuff I think we cold do more with. More original, etc...
