29.Aug.09 Saxton departs as STS9’s LD

Saxton, often thought of as the 6th member of STS9 announced on the unofficial band forum thelowdown.org today that he will no longer be running lights for their live show. Honestly, this comes as a huge surprise to us here at Low Freq. We’ve been seeing him kill the rig for years and years (just caught them in Atlanta and the light show was awesome!). He will be missed as an integral part of their live performance.

 

Direct quote of Saxton from thelowdown.org post titled “Thanks kids… Its been real”

 

“So, STS9 has decided to go in a different direction with thier lighting and I am apperently no longer the man for the job. Thats what I was told a couple of days ago. Just wanted to give a shout out to all the fans and say, WOW!!! IT HAS BEEN AMAZING!!! Thanks to everyone for all your props and support. Hopefully someone new can help the band create exactly what they are going for, and hopefully it will be EPIC. I will be lighting up the Mike Gordon tour this fall and who knows what is instore for me in the future. LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!
See ya around kidos,   Sax…….”
