Sorry the gig was a "train wreck". All of us have had those. Me, many times.
It is odd that even tho you had a sound-guy it sounded bad.
Usually, not all the time when bands have an 'in-house' sound tech, it goes good.
Back a long time ago, I was in a band with two loud guitar players with egos and
our P.A. wouldn't handle the lows from my bass. I got pissed because I was so far down in the mix playing through a 120W 15" SWR combo.
So, I bought two 4X10 cabs and a 1000W head.
Way overkill for our small gigs but they got the message.
The group I am in now are mature and experienced enough to agree with the levels and eq's before when play the first tune.
Practice today 10 to 2 after stopping at an Indian Casino for breakfast buffet.
Oh.. I agree... drinking is not cool during a gig. I used to have a couple beers when I was first signing up for open mic nights because I was scared.
Even downing a couple during the last set can get you a DUI.
Keep a positive attitude dude. Everything eventually works out for the better.
