Just as we're pulling up to the venue, we get a call from the Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson crew. Their van is broken down, about 10 blocks from the venue. We go into full problem-solving mode.
1) All of the bands are going to share our backline, including amps.
2) We start our soundcheck while Jesse goes to get the MBAR crew and as much gear they can toss into the van.
3) Jesse gets onstage, checks vocals. Our soundcheck is done.
4) We make sure the MBAR crew have enough time to get set up and familiar with our amps before their set.
And all goes well, and as on time as ever. It might not be as extreme every time, but this is the kind of stuff we deal with every day. Always an interesting job, for certain. Big old vans and so much gear and so many miles to go in such a short time.
