DMB, Neon Trees and Guns N’ Roses Touring with HES Shapeshifter Fixtures

AUSTIN, TX — High End Systems noted that its new Shapeshifter fixtures, introduced at Prolight + Sound in Germany, have drawn interest in the U.S. The company shipped the first C1 and W1 units to customers throughout May. The fixtures are now being included in the rigs for several prominent U.S. touring artists including The Dave Matthews Band, pictured here (LD Fenton Williams, equipment supplied by TMS), Neon Trees (LD Matt Guminski, equipment supplied by Digital Sound Systems) and Guns N’ Roses (LD Greg Shipley, equipment supplied by DPS).

BOSTON – GrooveBoston stages some of the most legendary dance parties in the US, and for this year’s college campus tour, they turned to Robe to create an “electro-awesome” experience. The lighting rig contained Robe Pointes, LEDWash 1200s and LEDWash 600s – 12 of each type, all from Robe’s ROBIN Series. As they often visit venues where power is limited, the lower consumption of the Pointes was a real bonus that allowed LD Nathan Almeida to create potent full beam and aerial effects and dynamic ‘WOW’ factors that “you’d normally expect from a 1500 series fixture”.

LOS ANGELES – For the season finale ABC-TV’s musical drama, Nashville, LD Steve Fallon deployed 150 Sharpys spread over multiple levels of Nashville’s LP Field stadium. Fallon used two grandMA2 consoles for lighting and media control. Both the consoles and the fixtures are distributed by A.C.T Lighting, Inc. 

NASHVILLE, TN- Third Eye Blind recently took to the road for a summer festival tour with gear from 4Wall Nashville.  LD Mitchell Schellenger created a rig including Clay Paky B-Eye K20 fixtures, Martin MAC Vipers, Elation Platinum Beam 5R Extremes and Chauvet Nexus 4×4 Panels.
