Aural damage

Review of GT Banana
2

Went there for the Infected Mushroom concert - this is definitely a Chivas and VIP table joint, with gaggles of people doing the VIP treatment and expensive mobile showing off because really nothing else is happening at my table thing.
The exotic dancers were a rather bad joke - basically a five minute 'show' every now and then with the bouncers coming on and threatening the dancers. Just something for the local crowd but really a joke on us all.
Drinks are utter crap , at least they are not overly expensive, but ask for a Chivas and coke and what you get is mostly ice, fake Chivas and very little coke. You won't get drunk on this and if you do, your head will regret it. The mojito is better but also with fake alcohol. The 'free' frink with your ticket is so fake it's a laugh, never had such a watered down 'vodka' in my life.
And now the music. Well once you get through the very tedious pre concert DJ Spark - if he could play one tune in a loop he would, as this is essentially what it sounds like, and your ears are still alive, then comes the main act. at 1AM.
The volume is so cranked up and is essentially only bass that it is just utter crap. You cannot hear a single word that is being 'sung', half of the drums (tom toms) are missing and anything over 200Khz and below 2000 is besically aural assault at 90% distortion. We had to leave after less than an hour as it was unbearable. My ears are still ringing.
With a sound system that is so intent on aural damage I can't recommend going to this place more than once in every aeon, and there is nothing else there that is so compelling that I can think I want to go back. So try somewhere else.

"anything over 200Khz and below 2000 is besically aural assault at 90% distortion"

200Khz is FM radio and 2000Khz is ultrasound no? Laughing

Humans would hear 200Hz-2Khz

The gig was great, people moan about it because GT hosted Beijing's best ever "live" dance performance(meaning they actually played some instruments) Mic/guit/kybds and it was their own music, not some prat punching his hand in the air over a bunch of downloaded mp3's.
