I was mega excited for the Brisbane show, Brisbane is a show I hold very close to my heart, Brisbane was originally a show that nobody wanted to go too when we organised our first show and to make matters worse, we didn't hear from the venue for months, only to find that the venue was shut down. Frustrated by the setbacks I had a massive comeback to put Brisbane on the map, and thanks to a huge push from a few superstars in Brisbane, Jacqui and Sammi being two of the main two, we had the best and biggest debut show in Neko Nation history in February.
Coming to Brisbane was great, we've been on the back of the small Melbourne show which just didn't feel like a Neko Nation in a sense and we came to Brisbane, a show which had lots of applicants, we had a huge budget for this one, we had so many DVD's and Blu Ray's as prizes from Madman and Siren, we had massive sound and lighting upgrades and we also had Triex and S3RL come out to play for an epic show.
Brisbane never ceases to disappoint, I got to let rip my favourite new style of set, from 8-9pm, an electro, K-Pop set, then a J-Trance, Handzup, Hardstyle set, the tour had forced me to pace myself thanks to some pro J-Core DJ's joining on board, including Riot Angel who made the trip to Adelaide so I gave up my slot at the end for a ridiculous expression set.Brisbane's crowd never disappoints, we see massive conga lines all over the place, we've seen massive group pile on photos and it's by far our most colourful show, plus the people are amazing in Brisbane, I came to this city knowing no-one at the start of the year and they've kind of adopted me into their world. I've truly loved them back, they're very drama free and insanely fun loving and they just come to let everything go and party.
On my end, it wasn't the most fun night, I had numerous incidents throughout the night, meaning I missed S3RL's set and a fair of Triex's but I caught Tonium's pony set, which for someone like myself who doesn't get this pony craze, was mindblown by this set, from what I heard from S3RL and Triex they did good, although we've noticed the so called kiss of death effect from Susannah. Originally an experimental idea to have Susannah play Bubblegum Pop, she's pretty much filled the dance floor got people to go completely crazy and whoever plays after her will just struggle to keep people on the floor due to people being so exhausted from pushing too hard.
Overall I loved Brisbane, it's got great people, I like the city and it's a nice place which is a mix between the fast paced city life of Melbourne and Sydney but got the laid back elements of Perth and Adelaide. There's nice Japanese influences in particular Harajuku Gyoza and Mos Burger are absolutely amazing places. Also got to give massive props to Ben for letting us stay over in a big house which everyone in welcomed us greatly, Brisbane is always such a brilliant, unpredictable and wild party and I hope that never changes.
