Attila & Dave Project Technical Rider

If performance is to be acoustic, separate arrangements must be made in advance.

For all electric performances:

  1. Flat, level, stable stage space measuring minimum 12'Dx15'W, carpeted or non-skid if possible. Flat and level are self-explanatory, "Stable" means permanent stage, professional portable staging or appropriate concrete open area. No dirt, plywood or anything "jerry rigged." If outdoors: sunshade, canopy or overhang preferred. In case of inclement weather and a "rain or shine" performance situation, full weatherproof canopy covering entire stage mandatory.
  2. Multiple grounded 110 outlets located on both sides of the stage
  3. Drum riser preferred, though not required. If provided, minimum 1'Hx6'Dx8'W
  4. Multiple (2+) commercial-grade extension cords and 1 roll electrical tape/gaffer's tape
  5. Six (6) bottles drinking water

All of the above, plus:

  1. 1 pair wedge-style stage monitors containing 12" speakers or larger
