NME 2005

Project Overview:

Whilst Capital were James Gebhard's (F.O.H Engineer for The Killers
and the Strokes) preferred company for this tour there was an interesting political situation as all four artists were technically supposed to receive equal billing and equal support from service companies. Ultimately the decision on Audio Supplier would be made by the promoter (SJM).
After assuring SJM we would supply our usual professional approach to
all four artists, Capital was confirmed for the tour. The tour proved to be a success and Capital have subsequently acquired both the Futureheads
and Bloc Party as new clients for 2005, alongside continuing to provide
The Killers with audio support in Europe for their live shows.

Client history:

Capital has worked for SJM on numerous projects over the years; most notably the V Festivals where audio has been supplied on two stages at
both sites Since V began in 1997. The NME Tour, whilst being an annual event, was a new project to Capital.

Having already worked with James during 2002-2004 Capital were again approached by James to provide sound for the Winter NME Tour.
