Lighting rig for live band
Hi
We are a 5 piece band playing small to medium indoor and occasional outdoor venues. We've never really looked at lighting before and always used the venue's own rig.
We have a chance to get a good deal on a pair of 4 LED lamps + tripods + controller - they are 2 Equinox MaxiBar systems.
So if anyone is famailiar with these, could you comment on suitablility? We'd like something we can just set up and leave as someone to operate is not an option. What is the best way to arrange the lights? At the back of the stage will sillouhete the band I'd have thought, how about at the sides of the stage?
All advice much appreciated.
