Was that at The Echo? I heard a show there last year that I thought was actually fairly well mixed. Hopefully the Deerhunter show was just a bad night?
Regardless, I've overall been fairly impressed by the music blog. I'm less well informed musically, and I've been introduced to a couple of things I've really liked. Thanks, guys!
Aceandcups:
Yeah, it was the Echo. I've been to the place a dozen times and that was probably the only show that I felt like a fight would break out. One place that is do or die in Los Angeles about sound is The Smell. You're literally four two feet from some guy on guitar with a drum kit - amps and guitars are always hissing and feedback is bad.
IronOxide:
About sound guys doing a poor job at a venue. I know it's a tough job, but why bass is generally the thing painfully exaggerated is confusing. Unless they are grossly overcompensating for what they are hearing, the bass should be the most prominent thing for the engineer to hear if they are in a bad place in the room, as low tones have much better penetration than higher tones. Think of what you hear out of a car door, you aren't going to hear the lyrics, you'll hear the THUMP-GATHUMP of the drums, and possibly bass. Which is exactly the problem when the sound in a venue is bad (or, at least, it is the problem that I have heard when the sound is bad), so I wouldn't blame it on placement, unless they overcompensate like whoa.

I think I know what the problem was . . .
