Priceless!

[@KaraElle]

Canadian here. King of the Slugs popped up on my discover weekly this week. I feel like I stumbled upon a diamond in the rough. Instant fan. Thanks for sharing.

[@LouSmith]

Welcome. You absolutely did just that! I love to share the uncut gems.

[@freshcolourmusic1585]

Song title at 20:00?? Hope it is in the new album! What a banger!?? 😮

@@LouSmith love the new song also, heck yes on the editing. X

[@LouSmith]

@@DollysplitBand Thanks, yes I did a little editing, though I reined it in a bit.

[@jakesampson8472]

Great set. How do you edit and upload this in 24 hours? And then presumably be in the windmill filming the next night.

[@LouSmith]

Thanks! I'm glad you've given some thought to the effort I put in to this. Yes, I'm out again tonight. When I'm excited about the content, I jump in it with a gusto. There was a while when I didn't really do much over Christmas and early January.

[@jakesampson8472]

@@LouSmith you're doing a good job man. Is the O. Set going up?

[@LouSmith]

Not the one from last night. The lighting was challenging and it was pretty much the same set anyway.

[@diegoblanco7801]

where can i find their music?

[@LouSmith]

Only here for now. They're pretty recently formed.

[@thesweetnobody6442]

where can I listen to this band or the band members music?

[@LouSmith]

The band Fat Dog are playing loads of London gigs and I believe are signed and will release stuff in due course. In the meantime, these few recordings on my channel are the only sources of their music. The girl in the thumbnail has parted company and is pursuing her solo project called Plutoz Beach which is also great and improving with each outing. instagram.com/plutozbeach?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Saw you guys supporting Parquet Courts in Manchester last June and you were amazing! Hope to hear some studio recordings in the future. I can’t think of many other support bands that have had such an immediate impact on me.

[@LouSmith]

They definitely leave an impression!

[@LouSmith]

They have a single out now. King of the slugs!

[@Neiltendo.64]

@@LouSmith Great news! Thanks for letting me know 🖤

[@LouSmith]

Banging video too. Not one of mine. I’ve for a recent live show to publish though.

[@LouSmith]

As that’s saying something.

[@jamestaylor8562]

Great set, cheers for recording Lou! Will have to check these out firsthand when I next can. Any tips for getting decent audio recordings at smaller gigs? I want to try getting a few recorded (mainly for personal use) but the bass in small venues is always very overwhelming

[@LouSmith]

Thanks! Yes first-hand is the best hand. I don't know what you're using to film. The best way is to have a separate field recorder set up which is what I usually do when I'm comfortable with my surroundings which of course I am at the Windmill. I even get a desk feed sometimes if I'm super organised. I'm always losing USB drives that easy though. Failing all the above, my camera delivers reasonable sound in its own. Big gigs are way worse for me for blown bass. A lot of current phones seem to do a pretty great job with bass.

[@clarkgwent1]

James, sorry to butt in. I recommend hunting down a Sony ECM 909 condenser mic from ebay. They're no longer manufactured but they do come up second hand quite often. Use that with any kind of digital recorder and you'll be golden, believe me. I take mine everywhere!

[@michaelwest8417]

Awwww this lot are cute. Look like they're having fun xxx

Big fun!

@@LouSmith What happened with your IVW 2023 video of them, I wanted to show a mate it but it had gone a few days later?

[@LouSmith]

Yeah. Request from the label. Shame as it’s the only representative video of their current line up and was definitely one of the best captures of the live experience. I hope to be able to repost it in future.

[@gigteevee6118]

Is that Tyler Hyde from Black Country New Road at the front or do I just have awful facial recognition skills

[@themule9843]

Nah it’s Maria from FC Malina

[@LouSmith]

This is fun. Maria from FC Malina definitely features in the front row at times, strangely like she's in a trance. I'll have to watch it back. Pretty sure Lennon from Automotion and Duc from HMLTD make front row appearances too.
