    Been wanting to see this hot new band since I heard they were a thing, and last night I heard by chance that they were a short hop away.

      Nice! That’s the thing. This was their third or fourth ever gig. Already great, and have come a long way since. Nothing short of phenomenal.

      Hope so. It was meant to be. Just happened to notice twenty minutes before they were on that they were playing just down the road. I know the guy who runs MOT so was able to just run down in time to sort out the single red light that made it feasible to shoot at all. The rest as they say …

      @TheBobbymcd i can’t see a future where they don’t go from strength to strength. They’re having a fairytale start to their story, and they’ll want it to never end. I guess we could see some solo projects along the way as is only healthy too.

      That’s the one. Imagine having no idea what to expect, other than I’d seen Abi around a couple of venues we frequent, and just having a hunch that if she was fronting a band, it was going to be quite a band. Turns out it was just that, and more. Just over the four performances I filmed, there is an astonishing progression.

    Wow! How is this an “early” show for a band? If they were this good so early, how high are they going to fly?!!? I just hope I get to see them here in the US before they get too big and I can’t get tickets, haha!

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  ปีที่แล้ว +30

      That’s exactly what I thought. This was their fourth gig! There was practically zero lighting in the venue and smoke to make matters worse. The red light is actually Aurore’s keyboard light which i persuaded her to mount on the other end of her keys in order to shed some light on Abi and the rest of them. There is such an engagement between Abi and the camera at times that the viewer feels like the only person in the room. It was this video that was spotted by execs at island records and started their meteoric rise to be supporting the Stones by Easter. They sent me a bouquet of flowers with a lovely message to thank me.

      My understanding is that they formed in the previous summer, had their first gig in November. This is an excerpt from an article on my documenting of the scene with a quote from Georgia their bass player. ‘Lou Smith filmed The Dinner Party’s fourth ever gig, at Bermondsey’s Venue MOT. When he uploaded the video of our set the next day, we all realised what kind of company we were in, but we had no idea of the impact it was about to have on our career,” says bassist Georgia Davies.
      “In the caption of this video, Lou wrote that he had been ‘wanting to see this hot new band since [he] heard they were a thing’. It still mystifies me where and how he had heard that we were ‘a thing’, before most of our own friends and family even had. My friend Charlie text me congratulating us on being championed by Lou Smith, like it was some kind of holy blessing. As it turned out, it was.”
      Over the next few weeks, the inbox of The Dinner Party [recently renamed The Last Dinner Party] flooded with messages from labels, managers, agents and lawyers, all referencing a certain video which had made its way to them in a music industry chain-mail. Within a few months of that gig in Bermondsey, the band had signed a major record deal.’ This is that video, so it occupies a special place in my heart. The whole article is here if you’re interested. It seems I have a habit of discovering great bands in their formative moments and sharing them. hardofhearingmagazine.com/2023/02/01/lou-smith-theres-something-about-the-unfurling-of-potential/ It definitely made me well up reading this.

    [Verse 1]
    When it's on your blouse
    You think it’s so romantic
    But in reality
    We're both just addicts
    [Chorus]
    I am not the girl I set out to be
    Let me make my grief a commodity
    Do what I can to survive
    There is candle wax melting in my veins
    So I keep myself standing in your flames
    Burn, burn me alive
    [Verse 2]
    I am at the stage
    Put on my perfume
    [?]
    I never could say no
    You don't wanna hurt me
    But I want you to
    I break off my wrist
    To wring another you
    [Pre-Chorus]
    You make me bite my tongue
    And now there’s blood in my glass
    Will you buy me a new one?
    This is too good to last
    [Chorus]
    I am not the girl I set out to be
    Let me make my grief a commodity
    Do what I can to survive
    There is candle wax melting in my veins
    So I keep myself standing in your flames
    Burn, burn me alive
    [Outro]
    Burn, burn me alive
    Burn me
    Burn me
    Burn me
    Burn
    Burn me alive

      @@LouSmith For particularly loud gigs like Black Midi, what mic could you suggest that would be good? :)

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Even for black midi, most of my gigs are shot with camera mic only. I also use a Tascam field recorder set up in the rig which had the ability to record two files at different levels to avoid peaking while recording the full dynamic range in quiet parts if necessary. A Rode video mic is otherwise a good option. There one I have is built like a tank, and so severely asker's the balance of my steady rig I have to add loads of extra weight which sucks. In all cases, the preamp in a camera is never good quality, so the mic is less important. Better sound is invariably recorded elsewhere and synced later. If I was getting paid for any of this, I'd doubtless make more effort with the sound.
