Strickland heard the album Leave a Whisper in 2003. In fact, there were times when I had to dim them down they were so bright.”īandit Lites has counted Shinedown as part of the Bandit family ever since owner Michael T. ![]() “It’s one of the major lights in the rig and although there is a lot of ambient lighting, they cut through in a big way and really got noticed. Fulghum, who has been touring with Shinedown since 2012, says he had several people come up to him after the show to comment on the strip lights. Other SEVEN Batten fixtures were used from a vertical truss position behind a video wall to light band members from the back while a pair of units placed under grated staging on the downstage shined up to light the band from below. We custom made all the effects and with the RGBAW+Lime+UV engine there was lots of color choice.” “We got a lot of use out of them for sure. They even accessed the fixture’s 10 zones to create big or small squares of ever-changing light. “It runs the gamut and therefore we needed a flexible light that could adapt,” Fulghum says, explaining that they used the color-changing linear effects for strobe looks, chases and hits, glow looks and accents. Although known for their hard driving numbers, the band achieves a variety of sounds and plays a number of slower ballads as well. The SEVEN Battens were used to help set the mood throughout the entire show, including interludes between songs when they were used as audience lights. The effect was to create a look that mimicked the form of an X-Wing Starfighter from Star Wars. “One of my favorite looks was something we called X Wing,” he explains, “where some of the trusses angled up while others angled down. As the truss angled into different positions, kinetic lines of light moved to form varying shapes and different looks, which Fulghum says made for a great effect. The six-foot-long SEVEN Batten 72 strip lights lined 20-ft sections of automated truss that moved into various configurations throughout the show. The acclaimed quartet, hailed for their high-octane live shows, are touring in support of their new album, Planet Zero to be released July 1. “Revolutions” kicked off April 1 in Spokane, WA and toured throughout the U.S. Lighting design was by Mitchell Schellenger, with Carter Fulghum out on the tour directing a rig that included effects from Elation Professional SEVEN Batten 72™ linear LED lights.
