The Actual Experience

The time comes up when The Same is supposed to set up their equipment on stage and get ready. The bassist has a Fender p bass, the color of the sky on a beautiful day, and an 8 x 10’ Hartke amp. It is about the size of a small child. The drummer has a very nice 5 piece set. Two crash symbols that will cringe in your ears, a snare that could pop a zit right off your face, a ride cymbal that rings like a bell, two toms, hi hats, floor tom, and a thumping bass drum.

It feels as good as beer for an alcoholic. Most of the band is breathing hard and their breathing slowly starts to become steady. Hearts are beating fast and they are just walking back and forth ready to rock some kid’s socks off.

After it was all over they have to then start packing all of the equipment, break it all down, and put it all back into the van.

Towards the end of the set is always the best time to promote merchandise and other shows coming up. The amps are then turned up loud, making sure to have the volume of the bass amp up just as loud as the guitar amp and the drums. Czechoslovakia,” the guitarist says.
