I love playing house parties... and I've done some freebies for mates before...

...but the general rule of thumb, is that if a mate is gonna ask you to play their party for free, they at least have to provide the equipment.

This is why i bought a decent active set of PA speakers (which i use as monitors but they are made to gig), only thing i need is a bigger sub if the room is big enought o justify it.

I wouldnt take your near fields out to a backyard party though. Noone has like an old Technics reciever with some big ass old speakers? i had one or two of these old systems in a garage for the longest time, wouldnt sound great but if someone spilled on them who cares and if you blow them up oh well lol just my ideas man.

Anyway I think I got ahold of some speakers for the show lol I was told "they are loud" so I guess that will do :lol:
So if those don't work out then I'll be back here searching for some answers :)
On another note, anyone want a shout-out at the party?
Lemme know and I'll put you in the set-list :)

Set went well..
Ton's of drunk chicks, and annoying ones alike..
Kept getting asked to play "successful back men choonz" Not joking!
Tried playing some brostep & dubstep...well they liked the brostep, but not so much the dubstep :/
It was alright! Got a couple compliments so all went well!
