we just announced three ticketed streaming shows:
they’re all pre-taped and i’m really excited about how they’ve gone so far. it’s been interesting to watch other paid/unpaid concert streams and see what feels like it works (and doesn’t) in the format. not sure if this resonates with anyone here but i’ve been noticing that concerts that try to behave like normal concerts (i.e. on a stage, in a venue, even all band members facing outward?) have a depressing undertone to me, especially when the first song ends and there’s no applause. after watching a few and feeling it out we decided to try and lean into what was possible in this situation that wasn’t possible on a normal tour, like having the camera/audience very close and intimate, using fragile/tempermental/logistically impractical instruments we’d probably never take on the road, or facing inwards like we’re at practice.
very interested to hear if anyone has thoughts on what works or doesn’t for them both as a performer and an audience member in this medium!
tech side note: we’re doing them through noonchorus which seemed like the easiest / most fluid platform. anyone have experience with them?
oh and if you want to get tickets they’re here - if any lines people want to watch em but money is tight just pm me closer to the show and i’ll do the digital version of putting you on the guest list.
