First gig for the new 80s band I joined called "Chess King" (). We're playing at the Ohio State campus area for an outdoor all-campus party in the frat/sorority house area. The state pays churches in the campus area to have events that don't serve alcohol, so this Presby church is having a pancake dinner and an 80s band.
Apparently 80s music is big again with the college crowd, at least around here. I don't get it, since most of them were born in the late 80s, but hey.
Free pancakes!
Got my groovy 80s pedal board together, mostly from pedals I don't use on my main gigging board anymore. The only thing I bought was a Boss LS-2, "Loop Selector." I have my rhythm loop (Fulltone FD2 and CE-5 chorus) and my lead loop (OCD & DD-3 Delay). It works pretty well, actually. You can adjust the volume for each loop. The whole thing is then being split stereo to my DRRI and Yamaha G100.

Now I have to go change into my parachute pants with bandanas tied around my legs, a black button down shirt, a thin, electric blue knit tie, and a black Members Only jacket.
I'm kidding. Even I have limits.
