Production Profile

Walk the Moon is out on its headline “Press Restart” tour in support of its What If Nothing album. We caught the band’s sold-out show in February in Oakland, CA and spoke with FOH engineer James Wooten and monitor engineer Daniel Kirkpatrick about mixing the band. In March and April, the tour plays overseas in places such as Sweden, Germany, Belgium and the U.K., then heads back to the U.S. in June and July to co-headline amphitheaters with Thirty Seconds To Mars.

Gorillaz was formed 20 years ago when Blur frontman Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the Tank Girl comic book, fused their respective skills to create a virtual band with virtual band members. Since then, the project has continued to evolve, as has the size of the production. These days, the shows are very much about the real players (and frequent guest stars) along with the animated characters, and Albarn and company are often more than 20-strong when they hit the road.
