Need 2 Guitar amps (borrow/rent?) for shows in Rome Italy!!! |

Hi everyone - this is gonna sound like an odd request...

My pal and I are going to be playing a show in Rome Italy and am looking for any fellow Italian geek rockers (or other friendly europeans) who could help us out!

Here's info about the show:

Glenn Branca's Hallucination City: Symphony for 100 Guitars
http://www.auditorium.com/eventi/4885483

The show is June 30th, 2007 - with 2 rehearsals on the 28th and 29th.

transporting guitar amps is a huge pain - especially from Los Angeles, CA.

Looking for mid size combo's - I can give more info at later date.

If not borrow - anyone know a place where I could rent an amp for 3 days? I need it for 2 full days of rehearsals and then the big show.

Willing to do Favors! might be able to get free tix for shows or fulfill other duties in exchange

If you have a chance to see this I recommend it - it's really cool - but bring earplugs - the last time i played this the audience measured 97db's

1 drummer, 20 bassists and about 80 guitarists for 1:15 hours of sheer sonic bliss

Thanks in advance!

Well Im sorry I cant help you out, but I just wanted to wish you luck for finding the equipment and the show.

What sort of style will the music be?

Thanks James appreciate it!

I'd say it's considered experimental orchestral music - however my amp was turned up to 5 - so it's def got that loud rock n roll vibe

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Branca

the piece itself is interesting in that all the harmonics clash into one another causing the listener to hear things that aren't really there - from where i sat and played I swear I could hear vocals and trumpets during certain parts.

the guitars are all tuned differently - I was in the alto section which required my guitar to be tuned all with "E" strings - three "d" gauge strings strung 6-5-4 and tuned an octave higher than a standard "low E" string + three standard guage "high E" strings for 3-2-1

Other members were tuned to G, B, and i believe another set of notes.

I'd encourage anyone that can read music and can play to do it. It's a great experience.

Wow... that's cool. Have you been part of this before? Will there be any more US dates?

No Wave... one of my favorite movements in the history of music.

Not sure about more US dates... I'm sure it will happen again

I played Disney hall in Los Angeles (hometown) in early 2006 and this past october i did Belgium:

What a great place! everyone was soooo nice. I could totally live in ghent and drink dubbels allllll day long

a show in london might happen in october - and ya know - that's when airfare is cheap

by the way - whenever i hear the flaming lips "take me to mars" i think of Tago Mago

take care,

Fuzz
