Sebastian Hardie, the legendary Australian symphonic progressive rock band led by guitarist Mario Millo, is back with a new album titled Blueprint. This is the band’s third studio album since the now classics Four Moments (1975) & Windchase (1976).
After disbanding in the late 1970s Sebastian Hardie was asked to reform and perform a one off show at Progfest ’94 in Los Angeles. The show was recorded and the CD Live in L. A. was released.
In July 2003 Sebastian Hardie reformed for a concert tour in Japan and later that year were special guests at the Yes concerts in Sydney and Melbourne.
After the concerts in Japan and the shows with Yes, band members decided to record another album and continue with live performances. The problem was logistics. Drummer Alex Plavsic was living and working 1000 kilometers away in Queensland while the other members were in Sydney with their own personal and work responsibilities. This provided limited opportunities to get together. to rehearse and record new material. But they pulled it off and composed material for a new cd. The six new pieces became the cd Blueprint.
