Hey Isa,

Thanks for chiming in. That sucks that you didn't get a sound check. That explains why everything just sounded off. Sucks when stuff like that happens. Thank you for clearing it all up. My wife and I were sitting there listening and really wanted to help. We almost walked back to the sound guy to let him know to up the vocals a tad and turn down the bass, which seemed to take over everything. We were coming from a place of concern and it just seemed like we annoyed you guys. Sorry about that. I hope the rest of your tour plays out great!

Thank you! I really appreciate the concern and you and your wife looking out for us  

A definite lessons learned - sound checks 4 LIFE! No matter what! x

Yeah, maybe Slow Crush were having an off night, but there was definitely a snarky vibe and they were talking in English. I was also right in front and there were only about 20 people still there. The whole thing just put me off. They really didn't sound good and I thought I would help a bit by letting her know you couldn't hear her. I know their vocals aren't really meant to be in your face, but I've been in bands and you can't hear the true mix from the stage. After that I went in the back so I could finish my drink and leave and the sound was the same back there. My friends were also not impressed at all. Both Isles and Holy Fawn destroyed them by 1000%. I went mostly to see Holy Fawn, so it's all good. Looking forward to seeing them again live.

Hi there,

this is Isa - Slow Crush's singer. Firstly, I want to apologize for yesterday's show.

Lack of sleep had taken it's toll last night and we let it get the better of us. For that, we are truly sorry. 

We were the only band who didn't have the liberty to sound check, which is crucial for us. Due to this, the balance on stage was far from ideal but we tried our best to battle through.

On top of that, Jelle's bridge turned chainsaw on us, gradually ripping his strings throughout each song making them unravel and impossible to keep in tune. 

Vocal volume is always a challenge, especially without a sound check but that is also part and parcel with our music - vocals as an additional instrument layer rather than sitting way on top of everything.

To get things straight, all Jelle said after you informed me about the vocals being too quiet was "çava, Isa?" which translates to "you ok, Isa?" to which I confirmed that I was. That was all that was said. Nothing more, nothing less.

Again, we're really sorry to you and everyone at the show in Oakland last night to have caught us on that downer and promise to make it up to you next time.

Isa
