Eeeeeeeeeeee.......

That's what it sounds like in my ears right now. I saw the Cult at Avalon last night, and although not extrordinarily loud, the mix did tend toward the high end. Aside from the mix, (which I thought was not that great, especially considering they were recording it for Instant Live), the band was pretty right on.

I have to say though, that Avalon is the WORST place to see a sold out show. With that many people, the layout is not conducive to getting near the stage, to the bathroom, to and from the bar, or just having any room at all. If it was a Japanese train, it'd be great for groping girls, but it's not, so it's usually just annoying. I've been in many packed clubs, and this one is always the worst for some reason.
