Lady Gaga and Rihanna!

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of being in both Lady Gaga's and Rihanna's band!

No...not the real Lady Gaga or Rihanna...and no...not really in the band.  But I did provide backing music to two unbelievable look-a-likes!  Hollywood Heaven (check them out at http://www.hollywoodheaven.ca/) is an elite entertainment company providing some of the best look-a-like talent in not only the GTA but probably Canada! Some of the great acts include Shania Twain, Marilyn Monroe and of course the aforementioned two female superstars.  Hollywood Heaven can accommodate the smallest of parties all the way up to huge arena shows with stage set-ups and full bands to back up some of their best performers. 

This particular event was the birthday of two twin girls who both loved Lady Gaga and Rihanna.  Having the actual performers I bet would be pretty expensive and of course you would have to coordinate the birth date of these girls with busy tour schedules...so therefore two fabulous look-a-likes would have to do! 

Both performers were backed up by four super talented dancers with some great choreography just making the shows that extra special.  Although Lady Gaga lip-syncs her "extreme" wardrobe (there were multiple outfit changes throughout) and her uncanny resemblance more then made up for her inability to hit the high notes of Gaga herself.  Rihanna on the other hand used her voice and at times I had to take my headphones off and blink a few times....was that the real Rihanna??? 

Well what was I doing there?  Providing the PA equipment for the backing music.  The setup was in a backyard and 2 Yorkville NX55p and 1 Elite Yorkville LS700p subwoofer was enough oomph to allow the neighbors to watch and hear the concert unfold.  My Mackie DFX-6 was used to mix the audio CD (using a Denon DNS3500) and the wireless mics used for the show.  One Yamaha stage monitor was used to help with the performers placed behind the speakers.  Here is the set list:

1. Intro / Love Game

4. Bad Romance

5. Just Dance
