LIVE SOUND MONITOR Oasis Issue 45 FEATURE LIVE SOUND MONITOR In the first of a series of regular columns, AT races around the traps to get a taste of the Summer season concert and festival madness. Text: Cat Strom OASIS It’s 6pm at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and in three hours time those British bad boys of rock will take to the stage to perform a second sold- out show at this venue. But now they are being interviewed – separately. In fact, very separately. One brother is being grilled by the dimmers side of stage while the other is ensconced in seating far away. And this is how it is on tour with the bickering Gallagher brothers. If they spend too much time together acrimony blows the tour apart. However, this works fine for the crew members as it means tour legs are short – no more than six weeks, interspersed by a couple of weeks off. This has allowed the band’s front of house engineer Bruce Johnston to return home to Melbourne from various corners of the world to spend time with his family and run his business, Johnston Audio. The tour is scheduled to last 12 months, circling the world twice in the process. Of course every sound engineer wants his home gigs to run as smoothly as possible, but Bruce’s first night at the Hordern was a rough ride. Liam Gallagher’s microphone failed during the opening song; although some critics suggested that he was in such bad form they were praying it would pack up again. A very tired-looking Bruce had come to the conclusion that the Hordern Pavilion was not a good venue for line array systems. He’d had to cut his Nexo Geo T line array system in half to fit into the venue. The normal rig for Australia included 32 Nexo Geo T line array tops, 16 Nexo CD18 subs, and 32 Camco Vortex 6 amplifiers. Added to this were 10 Turbosound dual 15-inch wedges and six Nexo PS15 wedges and, for sidefill, eight Turbosound Flashlight tops and 12 Flashlight subs. “I’ve done a lot of gigs in here with a conventional PA and it rocks a lot harder,” Bruce said. “I don’t think you can get enough line array in here, as your line can’t be long enough. As a result you just don’t have the ‘fatness’ and I think you pay the price. Oasis is a band that needs to be in either a really large venue or a very small one – mid-sized ones like the Hordern just don’t work.” The Nexo Geo T is Bruce’s preferred PA and he has used it extensively on this tour, except in America where he had trouble sourcing the King Nexo Geo T and used an L-Acoustics V-DOSC Bob : AT 68 Photo Bruce Johnston John Lemon The School Sound Spectacular in full swing MÖTLEY CRÜE SCHOOLS, WIGGLES & CAROLS “ I mix them straight up Front-of-house engineer and ex-pat Aussie Jon Norwest Productions are busy gearing up for Lemon, a veteran of tours with such musical the big gig this year (Commonwealth Games and loud… as that’s how heavyweights as Oasis, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, anyone?), but in the meantime it’s still business as they sound best” The Cure, and Depeche Mode, recently returned usual.

On learning that Matt Brown, Minister for Housing, was to tour Waterloo with members of the Redfern Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, the SSH approached the Minister’s department for information. The Department denied plans for the meeting, only to then concede it would take place. A request for a photo of the Minister and his hosts was met with resistance. Arriving at Waterloo Green at a time confirmed by the RWCC, the SSH learned that, at the Minister’s behest, the meeting had taken place some two hours earlier. In a briefing paper leaked to the SSH the RWCC said it was concerned to “minimise the negative impact of the area” that has resulted from the Government’s location of a large number of “high needs people in Redfern Waterloo public housing”. The brief details a need to improve administration of estates in the area and for the RWCC to take an active role in redevelopment plans. Local residents

  • Legislative Assembly
    4538 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 24 August 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. RESIDENTIAL PARKS AMENDMENT (REGISTER) BILL 2011 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 11 August 2011. Ms CHERIE BURTON (Kogarah) [10.00 a.m.]: I also welcome to the Parliament students from Aberdeen Public School. The objects of the Residential Parks Amendment (Register) Bill 2011 are as follows: (a) to provide for the establishment of a register of residential parks, which is to contain certain information about residential parks, and (b) to require park owners or park managers to provide information about residential parks for entry in the register. The Opposition does not oppose this bill which will establish and maintain a register of all residential parks in New South Wales. Much was done by the former Government to ensure that the rights of caravan park residents were not ignored. I have spoken to a few residential groups who welcome this bill and who are positive about the establishment of a register. They believe it will give them more certainty as permanent residents of caravan parks. However, we need to establish, first, that the residents are not tourists; residential parks and caravans are home to many people in our community. A report prepared by the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Social Issues established three categories of people who live in caravan parks. The first category, usually retirees, is people who live there by choice because it is a way of life for them.

  • Upgrades, Rebranding Designed to Further
    CRANKING UP ‘THE AMP’ BY LISA WHITE UPGRADES, REBRANDING DESIGNED TO FURTHER HEIGHTEN PROFILE OF ST. AUGUSTINE AMPHITHEATRE AND PONTE VEDRA CONCERT HALL . Amphitheatre kicked o its main-stage concert season March 1 with a sold-out show by Alabama, guests at the Florida venue couldn’t help but notice the changes. The 4,000-seat facility had been expanded by 700 seats, and a new food truck area provided fresh local options beyond the traditional concession stands. “We sell out a lot of our shows quickly, so we knew the demand was Athere and the ability to bring in bigger acts,” said Gabe Pellicer, assistant director of the venue and the adjacent Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, about the new seats. “We knew we had a lot of momentum, so we went for it.” The changes coincide with a rebranding for what’s now being called The Amp St. Augustine, including new graphics and brand colors and a fresh tagline — “Big Acts, Small Venue” — that echoes Pellicer’s words. The rebranding eorts are among a continuing eort to create a nationally known venue in a small market. “We felt like we ran into a fork in the road,” Pellicer said. “Do we create more revenue, more shows or a better experience? We’re a government-run venue that doesn’t have to chase prots, so we decided to make it the best we possibly could.” Owned and operated by the cultural events division of St. Johns County, The Amp hosts over 40 concerts and multiple community events annually, including the Saturday Farmers Market, held year-round, and the Sing Out Loud Festival, Florida’s largest free live entertainment festival and benet, held every weekend in September.

  • Liam Gallagher Issues Libel Proceedings Against Noel Gallagher
    Press Release Carter-Ruck Solicitors 19 August 2011 6 St Andrew Street London EC4A 3AE LIAM GALLAGHER ISSUES LIBEL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST NOEL T 020 7353 5005 GALLAGHER F 020 7353 5553 DX 333 Chancery Lane www.carter-ruck com Liam Gallagher , the former lead singer of Oasis, has issued High Court proceedings for libel against Noel Gallagher. Liam Gallagher said: “I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made during the Electric Cinema press conference on July 6 th during which he claimed Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V Festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie and I want Oasis fans, and others who were at V, to know the truth. I was gutted when I couldn’t play the gig because I didn’t want to let the fans down. But the truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a Doctor, preventing me performing that night. Noel also falsely stated that the demise of Oasis followed a massive row in which he claimed I demanded to advertise my clothing range Pretty Green in the Oasis tour programme. The truth is there was no such discussion or row between us. There are many reasons why Oasis split. But it had nothing to do with my clothing range. I am used to being called all sorts of things by Noel and I have in the past said things about him, but what Noel has alleged this time went way beyond rock- and-roll banter and questioned my professionalism.
