Segue hit the Boiler Room stage at Gold Coast Big Day Out festival at exactly 1:15pm on Sunday the 20th of January to the sound of synth note, which was D3 to be exact. Held by Dave’s right index finger as the band geared up to drop it’s live progressive house and tech set. At 1:35pm Monday, the band and it’s crew are in various locations and states though from all accounts, there is an incredible amount of HD and standard def video footage, photographs and audio recordings to assemble over the coming week. Watch for our FlickR galleries. For those that missed the set the band was joined on stage by drummer Kris Ko from live d’n'b act Silent Shadow. Manning an acoustic and digital drum kit for the closing half of the set, Kris added a tough tribal feel to the acid tech portion of the set. A few thousand in attendance seemed to agree, it sounded rather nice.

Today is the birthday for Segue’s resident DJ and the sequence mixing backbone of the live shows. We all had a great laugh at some of the birthday emails and the various silly images, including this hilarious one concocted by a local friend Stu. Paying homage to Leo’s birthday of course, this also references the gig Segue performed in space suits and the trainspotters out there might get the reference to the Muppets characters “Statler and Waldorf”, a name shared by Leo’s previous live act. Top work Stu! For those living in our hometown of Brisbane, Australia, feel free to come on down to a rocking event called Colours at Moon Bar in Fortitude Valley on Friday night. Leo will be taking a break from Big Day Out gig rehearsals to celebrate and our co-conspirator Kris Ko will be DJ’ing alongside some other cronies and friends for a night of progressive house, tech house and all those other good things. We trust you will join us in saying happy birthday Leo!
