had the pleasure of mixing at newtown social club (the old sando - now run by the guys who have northcote social in melb)
great little room.
very nece new nexo PA and digico console
all very well done
bit of a shame about the corner mix position (bass heavy at the console!) but not a lot could have been done given the size/ layout.
great to see a GOOD sydney venue (and yes id much rather go there now that its not the horrible horrible sando set up)

Re: new venue
Remember making the stage out of milk crates and ply around the bar in the old days?

Re: new venue
Ha, yes, I remember it was the support bands job to build the stage out of numbered ply sheets and milk crates.
There was also a traffic light db meter thing that would cut power to the P.A. if you went too loud. For a while we had a mixer that knew how to get around that...
Cheers,
Paul

Re: new venue
what horrified you mark?
certainly a different place to what it was - but a great gig to have in the sydney "scene" (and pretty good food/ beer/ vibe in general in the downstairs bar)
i was most impressed to see someone INVESTING in a venue so as to actually draw crowds.

Re: new venue
I've played there a couple of times now and been a few times as a punter. I reckon it's great and good to see a venue getting a new lease on life rather than closing
There's even backline you can hire at $20 a band. Amazing.

In two words... Yuppy and hipster...
It used to be grungy, rock n roll, in other words it had a vibe....
Now, it souless IMHO..
very different to the NSC in melbourne, which I've mixed at and indeed go to see live music.
On a positive note though, at least it's still a live venue.
