4 Lost Immigrants Technical Rider 4 House Cabinets: It is important that the house speaker cabinets be capable of providing a full range of sound. There are two components to this request. First, the cabinets used must provide adequate coverage for the seating area based on the size of the venue and the amount of people expected to attend. Second, subwoofers are almost always needed to enhance the low end of the sound spectrum. Some manufacturers of speaker cabinets that satisfy these needs are JBL, Mackie, EAW, Apogee, Clair Bros., Turbosound, Community, Adamson, Meyer, QSC and Electro Voice. Monitors: Lost Immigrants will need a total of four (4) monitor mixes one for each player. Lost Immigrants requests that five (5) monitor wedges of at least 250w output be made available to the band one (1) for each member and two (2) for the lead vocalist.

5 Lost Immigrants Technical Rider 5 House Drive: The specific type of drive system is not as important as the quality of the system and its ability to provide a maximum degree of control over the house speakers. This may be achieved through either a dual 1/3 octave EQ unit or a digital processor. System compression is mandatory. The input snake must be capable of at least twenty-four (24) inputs and ten (10) sends with a split to the monitor console at the same time.

Lost Immigrants would like to be able to use their own equipment in all circumstances, regardless of billing as a headlining or opening act. If Lost Immigrants is the opening act and using their own equipment presents a problem, Lost Immigrants is flexible. An agreement should be reached between the Purchaser and Lost Immigrants as to the equipment that will be available to Lost Immigrants for use at least two (2) weeks prior to the concert. Lost Immigrants prefers that opening bands use their own equipment. If this presents a problem, an agreement should be reached between the Purchaser, Lost Immigrants, and any opening bands as to the equipment to be made available to opening acts at least two (2) weeks prior to the concert. Lighting: Lights always add visual excitement to a show. Many venues are not equipped with concert lighting. We ask that the Purchaser provide a concert lighting system appropriate for a rock concert. Some suggestions for such a setup include the standard PAR cans on a lighting truss, color washes, moving programmable lights (such as i-beams), and/or a scrim or backdrop behind the stage for backlighting.

6 Lost Immigrants Technical Rider 6 Lost Immigrants requests a minimum of twenty-four (24) 500w PAR64 cans equally distributed on two sections of truss positioned upstage and downstage. Lighting trees can be used for the downstage PAR cans. Dimmers for the PAR cans need to be capable of providing the maximum degree of output for the entire lighting system. The lighting console provided should be capable of controlling the entire lighting system. A lighting technician or technicians should be present to setup and run the lights for the concert. Lighting is a luxury, but one that we feel adds significant excitement to the show. If you have any questions about providing a lighting system, please contact a local lighting professional or music store. Sound Check: To make sure that Lost Immigrants puts on the best possible show, a sound check should be performed at least two (2) hours before the doors open. Sound check requires that the sound technician(s) running the monitor mix and/or front of house sound system(s) be present to set levels. Sound check should be private and only sound, lighting, and stage technicians should be present. Dressing Room/Green Room: The Purchaser should provide a dressing room or green room large enough to comfortably fit five (5) people. This room will be used for changing and pre-event preparation. If possible, the room should be private and as close as possible to the backstage area. A restroom facility should be located as close by as possible. Please have at least two (2) bottled waters for each band member as well as a small assortment of various fruits (optional).
