We havn't even played out yet, this summer. Been in this band a long time, practicing in the same garage. We live in a cul du sac, and at the end is a trailor park. For years we've played and havn't heard a peep out of them.

Now that were using one pas (pointed away from the trailor park, in a garage I might add) they are listening.

We ususally play on saturday and tuesday. couldn't this sat because the drummer couldn't make it.

A guy shows up at the door, "I'd like to complain about the music."

Me, perplexed, "Were not playing music and the stereo isn't playing?"

Him, " that's the problem your band isn't playing."

come to find out he's been bragging about us to to his buddies and was all set to come over and listen, since the weather was so nice.

I really think it's because of the PAS. My drummer even mentioned the other night, after we were all silly drunk, that when he went in the house he could hear clear in the front yard my wife/guitar player ranting over the mic about one of our neighbors cats crapping in eveyones yards. This is with the garage door closed.
