A Crazy Monkeys performance requires a stage plot with a lead voice, two backing vocalists, a drum kit with specific measurements for snare and toms, two electric guitars, bass, congas, timbales, and a curtain. Monitor sound requirements include a floor monitor system with side fills and a headphone amplifier for independent aux sends. A 7-booth setup and a drum enclosure are needed if the venue is enclosed. Guitars require specific Fender models, while amplifiers include options like Fender Champion and Roland JazzChorus-120. These details ensure the performance meets the technical and acoustic needs of the band .
The logistical requirements for a Crazy Monkeys performance include accommodation at a 4-star or higher-rated hotel with three double-bed rooms and a van transportation service. This arrangement ensures comfortable and reliable lodging and transport for the band's members, facilitating their performance readiness and overall experience .
The technical rider for a Crazy Monkeys performance specifies the sound system must ensure coverage of the audience area, delivering 110dB with 6dB headroom. It requires phase alignment and frequency balancing. Preferred systems include Meyer Sound, Adamson, RCF, db technologies, d&b audiotechnik, Nexo, and JBL (Vertex series only). Certain processors like the Driverack PA and PA2 are excluded. The console options are Digico (S, SD series), Soundcraft (SI, VI series), Yamaha (Ls9 32, M7cl, Cl5), Midas m32, and Behringer X32. Additionally, the sound system must have a stereo setup with subwoofers cut off at 100Hz and above .
In the event that specific audio systems or processors stipulated by Crazy Monkeys' technical rider aren't available, the band is open to considering equivalent systems that meet their needs. This flexibility is essential for ensuring that performances can still proceed effectively across different venues, thus accommodating varying levels of equipment availability while maintaining sound quality standards .
The Crazy Monkeys' monitor sound setup enhances their performances by using a system of floor monitors and side fills with 8 buses available for monitoring. This allows for personalized mixes for each band member, improving on-stage communication and performance quality. The setup includes a robust connectivity system via a snake in the lounge console, or an independent monitoring console if available, ensuring flexibility and high audio performance standards .
Power and safety considerations for a Crazy Monkeys performance include ensuring available power outlets at 120 volts and a perfectly grounded sound system on a separate plant from the lighting setup. This minimizes electrical interference and potential hazards. Additionally, the consoles should be located no more than 30 meters from the stage for optimal control, and be capable of being operated via iPad. These measures ensure both safety and effective operational control during performances .
The specification of brands like Fender and Ibanez for guitars and amplifiers such as the Fender Champion series or Roland JazzChorus-120 ensures a consistent and high-quality sound that aligns with the band's musical style and performance needs. These brands are well-regarded for their reliability and sound characteristics, which are critical for achieving the desired audio output and match the band's performance style, ultimately contributing to a stable and consistent sound experience during live performances .
The Crazy Monkeys' catering requests include 5 ham and cheese sandwiches, a ham and cheese board with vegetarian options, 5 bottles of still water (preferably room temperature), various fruits (excluding strawberries), 4 soft drinks, and 10 small chocolate bars. These items cater to both dietary preferences and basic refreshment needs during performance events .
Crazy Monkeys ensure audio system alignment with venue acoustics by requiring phase alignment and frequency balancing of equipment, with a fallback option of additional trial time if alignment isn't initially met. This approach allows the band's technicians to make adjustments as needed, ensuring sound quality remains high and adapted to the specific acoustics of each venue, thus enhancing the overall live performance experience .
The specified room processor options for Crazy Monkeys, which exclude the Driverack PA and PA2, are crucial for fine-tuning the audio output to meet the band's performance standards. These processors enable precise control over the audio signal, allowing adjustments in real-time to match venue acoustics and improve sound quality. By stipulating appropriate systems, the band ensures that their live sound maintains integrity and consistency across different performance spaces .
