STS9 (SOUND TRIBE SECTOR 9) IN CONCERT:

 

STS9 take fans to groovy new stratospheres with impassioned performances and a unique mix of EDM, jazz, and psychedelic rock. The group prefers building a vibe to showing off with flashy flourishes, but these rockers know their instruments -- each memberÕs instrumental prowess is on full display at all times. Drummer Zach Velmer and percussionist Jeffree Lerner combine acoustic and electronic rhythms to create a larger-than-life beat. Bassist Alana Rocklin gets heads bobbing and bodies swaying with her tasty, swinging basslines. And keyboardist David Phipps and guitarist Hunter Brown alternate between smooth leads and effects-drenched rhythm chords to keep things moving and grooving. Altogether STS9 has loaded up their funky spaceship with a killer sound system and their most immersive laser-light show yet, promising to take ticket buyers on an interstellar ride during their 2015 tour.

 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

 

Formed in Atlanta in 1998, the original STS9 (short for Sound Tribe Sector 9) lineup featured Hunter Brown (guitar/midi), David Phipps (keys), Zach Velmer (drums), and David Murphy (bass/midi). The group soon released their debut album Interplanetary Escape Vehicle (1999), gaining attention for their mastery of jazz, funk, and electronica. Percussionist Jeffree Lerner came on board a year later and brought fleshed-out dance influences, which featured prominently on their 2000 sophomore effort Offered Schematics Suggesting Peace. The band then opened for superstars like Snoop Dogg, NAS, and Bassnectar before headlining tours of their own that fueled their growing reputation for stellar live performances. After David Murphy left the group in 2014, the band reached out to long-time friend and seasoned touring bassist Alana Rocklin to handle the low end. The refreshed lineup continues to bring mind-expanding music and far-out laser-light spectaculars to arenas and festivals around the world, converting more and more fans each step of the way.

    Very special night

    by Benjamin on 2/21/23Fillmore New Orleans - New Orleans

    This was my 5th sts9 show and by far the best yet. Aside from them putting on a great show as usual, the production was amazing. This was such a cool venue for them to play for us in and the staff were nothing short of amazing. From cleaning up spilled drinks, handing out waters in front of the stage, and just overall being very friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much sts9 and the Fillmore of giving us such a special night!!!

    Solid show but the venue needs to do away with the nitrous

    by New to Denver on 1/3/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    The venue and security need to do a better job of clearing out all the wooks sucking on balloons. Stop letting sketchy dudes sell gas on the sidewalks after your events.

    Great other than the coat check

    by Mitchell on 1/2/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    The security guard running the coat check line was pushy and extremely unprofessional

    10/10 every time

    by Alex on 1/1/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    Hadn’t been to the Fillmore in years, and it continues to exceed my expectations. STS9 always brings the heat and an eclectic crowd and there was plenty of room for dancing, which is always necessary. It wasn’t too crowded and the drinks were flowing strong. Overall it was a great show, great crowd, and great venue.

    Great concert!! This band is amazing live!

    by P. M. on 1/2/20Tabernacle presented by Cricket Wireless - Atlanta

    This was my 3rd or 4th time seeing STS9 live, and they have never disappointed me. The band carries you from one song to the next, and the light show fills the arena incredibly well. My partner came along because I really wanted to go, but he ended up having a blast, too. 2 sets, and they played until 1:30! Lotta fun!

    STS9 House of Blues

    by Jason on 9/24/19House of Blues Boston presented by Cricket Wireless - Boston

    Foundry Room Access was awesome! Also the whole no smoking policy at the House of Blues is actual nonsense. You had employees hawking concert goers because god forbid they hit a juul or vape in the venue. (Let's too not forget Massachusetts legislative changes within the past few years regarding marijuana). It definitely did not make my concert experience great, especially when you did not offer a smoking area outside of the venue. The reason this review gets 5 stars is STS9's performance was stellar. If foundry room access does not have a smoking lounge, I would heavily consider changing this policy. They have a roof top patio, that should be the smoking area for foundry room access.
