Moogfest 2011 Partners with Bandit Lites
KNOXVILLE, TN – Bandit Lites provided main stage illumination service for the second annual Moogfest, held Oct. 28-30 at the Asheville (NC) Civic Center. Production Manager Joel Carmichael and lighting director Brooke Kimple worked with Bandit San Francisco GM Dizzy Gosnell to provide for the show. Bandit crew Chuck Hastings and Sam Harden were the onsite gurus.
Kimple used a fan of angled trusses running up to down stage covered in Thomas 2 Lite Units, VL 3000 Spots, VL 3500 Washes, Pixelines and GRN Moving Washes. Kimple’s console of choice was the HES Road Hog with a wing.
The rich, vivid wash provided by the battery of LED based fixtures provided Kimple a broad palette on which to work the hard edge lights throughout the event.
Artists of note that appeared at Moogfest included Moby, The Flaming Lips, Tangerine Dream, Adrian Belew, Umphrey’s McGee and talks and artwork by the legendary Brian Eno.
The entire event was a tribute to the world changing Robert Moog, who developed the Moog Synthesizer and forever changed the face of modern music.
