I love Eisley, but they sounded really off on Conan. I hope it didn't turn anyone off to them. |

Nerves and mixing. They got their song out there, and 80% of the viewers probably didn't notice what we notice. We are fans of the band, so we naturally realize and can critique what they did better or worse than what we've seen previously. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart!

Eisley did a great job. The sound was a bit muffled and dry, wish it could have been better. I have a weirdly rigged entertainment center. I have my stereo hooked up to my VCR/TV all the time for sound. I taped it at SP standard play speed which is supposed to give better quality but I found out after I recorded it that for some reason there's no option for Hi-Fi sound with SP, like with SLP and EP. Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing the tivo upload of it. Conan looked like he was mad at somebody at the end of the show and he acted like he was going to throw their cd at somebody. I wonder what that was about. And wow so many commercials before they played, I thought for sure the local station was running commercials accidentally over Eisley's appearance. They've done stupid stuff like that before. _________________

UGH! Also, since my original question was overlooked in the initial excited aftermath, did it sound like they did something different with the chorus to anyone else? It sounded like they dropped a "you" and stretched out the first one to compensate for it. EDIT: tragedienne just posted the performance on youtube. Talk about quick turnaround, thanks! http://youtube.com/watch?v=C-fbfJjWICg _________________

Uuuuuuuuuugh being on the west coast sucks... I have to stay up until 12:37 for the show to even come on, and then wait and wait and wait for them to play.. I'm tired. The only good thing about this is that the three guys from Superbad are on Leno right now. |

Jimmy Kimmel has actual concert set ups? Patrock: I actually work for Jimmy Kimmel, some of our guests are indoor on a small stage, some are outside on the outdoor stage, but that's usually for the bigger acts. All acts usually get some warmup/rehearsal time to get things dialed in. and to answer the question i know people will ask, yes, ive been trying to warm up our music director to the idea of having them on  it's not as simple as just getting whoever they want on the show, artists are also usually booked months in advance, and this is usually done quite ahead of time to tie in with album releases and such, though we do have some random ones on from time to time, usually more indie stuff than very established multi-platinum artists, etc, so, it's a possibility, not a complete no.

they looked so goooooood! so good! (loved sherri's hair a lot a lot) and if i were a first time viewer of eisley i'd still be impressed with their performance. because yes, we LCitizens know how they really reaaaaaaally sound--and i'm sorry they didn't let mark (or boyd?) take control of the sound-- ..but come to think of it, who analyzes their performances more than we do? haha. new viewers are just absorbing all they can from eisley in like 3 minutes, while we have had eisley stimuli for like years. anyway, i really loved 'em and i totally felt their nervousness through my tv. they even got me nervous!  but i'm hoping this will rack in some combinations sales in stores for them! $$$$$$$$$$$$ for eisley!
ps: so when conan does his little stand up in the beginning of the show, he does it in front of the band's stage; when i saw weston's drums, stacy's keyboard, and sherri's guitar.. i started yelling things at the tv "i know those instruments! i know i know!" (well those weren't the exact words) anyway i felt like a dork but then i was like "hey i'm just excited for eisley!!!!!!!!!!11111111" _________________ "if you never try, you'll never know." - coldplay |

Conan's sound mixer is one of the better ones in late night, but they basically all stink on toast. They have one rehearsal to get everything down, and haven't spent near the amount of time a touring mixer would have. But late night shows are very strict about who does the mixing on the shows; basically you have no say of how you'd sound. But they did a great job. I thought they had great camera presence. Performing on TV is different than performing on stage. And they played the song well, which is what counts. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

I love this freakin band.. I've been away from LC for a while, time for me to get back into this mama jamma! As far as the performance, I thought it was amazing.. Like always, late show (Like Conan) ALWAYS manage to get one sound and max it too high.. It seemed like the had the vocals a little too loud and it drowned a bit of the music.. In terms of the performace, it was awesome.. I'm so proud of all of Eisley for making it onto Conan. Hell yea. _________________ UPDATE: REAL MYSPACE LINK! http://www.myspace.com/2399095 Check out my FLICKR and leave comments!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28644084@N00/

Maybe it's just me, but I thought it sounded like Sherri was straining a little too hard on the vocals. _________________ EvilSpace |
