Speak for yourself mate, but it's not the end of the world if you have a few tipples before playing! For me soundchecking is a bitch, played the Lemon Tree in the summer for the international festival and it ended up being a good gig One band took a whole hour to soundcheck and clearly didnt give a fuck about anybody else, they thought they were the most important act there and sulked when they found out Edgar Prais were playing last claiming "they had never heard of them". They really got on my nerves, we ended up with a linecheck before playing to quite a busy crowd......i dont generally like line checking when a venue is full of people as i think it looks unprofessional and disorganised to make it worse that leeds band ate our pizza rider!!! gutted!!!
