I must have seen The Alchemont live a half dozen times at least, and always found them hard to get into. It isn't that they are doing anything wrong, but the sound they had is so busy-sounding that if is imperative that they had a very good mix to allow the ear to make sense of it... and the gigs I saw them at never provided them such. This is a tale we all know all too well, all of us suffer with mix issues more often than not, but even then, Alchemont seemed to get hammered with some extra lousy mixes. One wonders if it is always the fault of the venues and the mixers, or if the Alchemont's sound just did not transfer well to the live enviroment.
