My overall impression
Certainly most of us have wanted to follow a band around and be a part of their backstage antics when we were young enough to have the energy to do so. So it is quite a thrill to be in on the action of watching The Wax Robots load-in for a performance when everything that can go wrong does, yet it all works out in the end. You’ll hear stories about their lives and how they got to be in this place at this time as their equipment and sound system miraculous gets set in place. The keyboardist has lost her back-up tracks, the bass player is drunk, the lead guitarist slams his hand in a door, the drummer eats some rice and has a violent allergic reaction, and the disco ball just won’t turn. And one band member is late and nowhere to be found. Truth of the matter is, the space was booked and play written BEFORE the band was formed. After learning to play their instruments together for 3 1/2 weeks, the show opened! But you would never know that since they seem to really be people who have been together a long time and know each other’s faults and strengths intimately. A fun look behind the scenes!
