  • I went with a friend last weekend (April 19,2014) to see Lee Aaron play. I've missed her the last 3 shows in the Toronto area but finally got an opportunity to go this time. Lee was great and definitely didn't disappoint, but the sound unfortunately was absolutely awful. The venue itself is smaller than I expected and tired looking. Beers cost us $9 each for tall boys but you can also buy pitchers of beer for around $20 with tip. For this review though I am going to focus on sound for those who really care about it and because I'm hoping that the owners will take heed and make things better. I used to work in show business myself many years ago and as a result have come to really appreciate how much a good sound system compliments a great artist. So what about the Rockpile? Four bands in total played with the sound getting slightly better as we got closer to the main act. For all intents and purposes though you can consider everything I say here as being applicable to the entire evening. The sound was very muddy (distorted) and very much over-driven. I would have preferred more clarity at less volume than the other way around. At times everything (bass, guitar, vocals) seemed to blend together into one indistinguishable mass of loudness assaulting my ears. Don't get me wrong. I love loud music but it needs to be clean and well balanced. The highs were missing somewhat but at least weren't shrill like some other venues. I was happy to see the stage lined along the bottom with woofer bins, a site you don't see much any more but it appeared that they didn't have enough power to drive them adequately in order to get a nice tight and punchy bottom end. Again very muddy and very disappointing. I'll be thinking twice before going back to the Rockpile to see another of my favourite bands.
