Live recordings: Los Albertos & The Scaredy Cats

the HatMic system

Recently I’ve dusted off my minidisk recorder, which led to inventing the revolutionary HatMic system (patent pending). Here’s the spoils:

Ska night at the Victoria pub, Deptford, 7th March 2009:

So the sound quality is a little ropey, but note that for Los Albertos I was in the middle of a 30 person-strong ska mosh pit! Think of it like this: each audio drop-out = another bruise to my body :-)

Thanks to everyone at the Victoria, definitely one of the best squatted venues I’ve been to. Really sad to hear this was one of your last gigs before eviction.

Next step: stick some foam round the mic to lessen distortion.
