I left with the intention of making it just on time. Philly rush hour lasts from about 3 pm to 6 pm. This time, luck was on my side – I made it to Milk Boy with a half hour and change to myself. This was a new venue for me. The bartender recommended a nice IPA to wait the time over. Next to me, a first date was happening. Tonight, a new sound was on my plate. It’s not like me to randomly jump in to a band feet first, especially when I know no one who shares an interest in the show I’m about to see.
Sego is Spencer Petersen and Thomas Carroll. The duo played with an outfit of 4 this evening. They traveled out from Los Angeles to perform in the City of Brotherly Love, a cross-country feat. Tonight was a special one, as they mentioned this was their first headlining act. Philadelphia is a music scene on the rise once more, and Sego spent time reciting an era that those who lived through can remember. I’d describe it as a melodic funk: their experimental sound is one I have not heard before.
This genre may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I was willing to give it a chance. Instrumentally sound and talented, Sego will entice your creative side – they are willing to try it all, even going to the extent of playing party-ish songs like “The Fringe,” one of the first songs available on their website. If Breathe Carolina (or another suit of electronic sound) and the 80’s came together, Sego would be their artsy love child who tries to break from the pack. They successfully do so.
Sego is not your typical band. I look forward to seeing their progression in the coming years - I’m be excited to see what they bring to the table. The sound is not what you would expect, the energy and passion are evident in how they get down, and I have high hopes. Check out their work on bandcamp and on their website, segoband.com.
