We understand that there will be a bit of big named bands at MusicFest but could it be possible for start up bands to get introduced at musicfest as well? Just asking...

We've been pretty surprised at the willingness of some cons, both big and small in attendance size, to take a chance at start up bands like ours. We do hope to get the chance to perform at this years music fest though. A couple of our members are regular fanime attendees and we thought it would be really cool to get to perform this year. :)

Shameless plug, but our band would love to be at this year's music fest. www.youtube.com/soulcandymusic

Thank you very much for the info. We already sent an email to the address you provided. We hope to be able to get the chance to perform for everyone soon. :)

Thank you for your assessment and criticism, we will take some of your pointers into account however, we hope to get to have you in our audience to get the chance to change your opinion about us.

If you're asking to perform, you posted this in the wrong section. You should be messaging the people that run live programming and events.

Now that the official stuff is done.

Time to tell you want I think. First off... all that is available are HORRIBLE video clips on youtube. The sound on them is horrid, in an already horrid environment... so it's hard to actually comment since it's so distorted.

HOWEVER, what you can notice is... you guys don't know anything about acoustics. The drummer needs to ease up... a lot... because he completely drowns the bass to where you can almost not hear the bassist at all. The vocals... sure you don't have a horrible voice, but man... there is no change in your voice at all in every song. Different kinds of music calls for different influxes of your voice, but your voice always sounds the same no matter what song, no matter what note.

The guitarist seemed okay. He adjusted well enough.

And as I said, I can't hear the bass at all, the drums are drowning him out so much that the subtlety of the bass is all loss.

If you want anyone that has any real taste or opinion to take you seriously at all in any way shape or form... get a HQ sound clip made. The mic on a crappy handheld isn't going to do anything but make you sound horrible.

@PYRON: Unfortunately, we had no call on the sound board or the hook ups during that con. Our bass player is actually a sound engineer by trade but we werent allowed to mess with the equipment that the people who were doing the sound had. We had to make do with what we had. We DO agree that there was no bass IN THE VIDEO but the it was loud and clear during the  live performance. The singer was pretty much drowned out so we're pretty surprised you were able to hear her over the crowd (especially the camera man) singing over her. As for our overall performance, we would love to have you see our show live so you can get a better assessment of our band.

@DARTH: Thank you for your warm welcome, we certainly like those kind of welcomes.

Hello, our name is Soul Candy, Seattle's Local Otaku Rock band. We would love to be able to introduce ourselves to you. You can check our youtube www.youtube.com/soulcandymusic or our myspace page www.www.myspace.com/soulcandyband to learn more about us.
