“There was a blue arc of electricity, and I was shot back off the mic – that encouraged me to get a wireless system!” There are some rock ’n’ roll stories that you couldn’t make up. One is how ‘Grog’ Lisee was electrocuted by an unearthed microphone

Sometimes it’s not easy being a musician. You step up to a mic and… boom… suddenly you’re very close to not being alive anymore. As Die So Fluid frontwoman ‘Grog’ Lisee told Bass Player back in 2012: “I got electrocuted onstage. It was really bad: there was a huge blue arc of electricity, and I was shot back off the mic.

“We had to stop the gig because no-one could play. I was really lucky: it just hurt my lip where it had touched the mic – so that really encouraged me to get a wireless system for my bass guitar!”
