AVVegas rocks the Spirit West Coast music festival in Monterrey

Independence weekend 2010 was a real blast for us over at AVVegas. We are “The Concert People” and the Spirit West Coast Music Festival is one shining example of a knock out concert. Talk about three action packed days full of bands and dozens of set changes. At times there is a less than a 10 minute window to clear the stage and set the next band, this is just the kind of challenge we love.

Twice a year, AVVegas packs up a massive Vertec 4889 PA, a small army of PM5D consoles, and enough backline to fill a SEMI truck. This massive pile of gear becomes the main stage PA and backline supply for the entire festival, comprising multiple stages, thousands of people, dozens of vendors, and one delectable Funnel Cake stand. Talk about a fun job, hard work yes… but this is the stuff we practice for.

Here are just a few of the photos we snapped between set changes, for your viewing pleasure.
