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.
STS9 was so much fun. The crowd was great, and good vibes were everywhere. Definitely one of the top 5 shows I've been to recently.
Highly recommend people of all ages to see this band !
Tribe was on fire. The band and audience shared a heavy vibe.
first time seeing sts9... they killed it. played until the last minute at midnight. It was magical, i wish more of my friends couldve experienced it. A unique sound and the bassist, alanna is too damn good. An incredible experience, DO NOT MISS IT!!! I will say that the website said it started at 8 but didnt until about 8:40.
First I was terribly disappointed in the set up at the venue for the price of the ticket they could have done better. The opening act was good however I didn't expect them to play twice as long as the main event. It's like they were not into the performance.
so I've seen STS9 a couple of times now. i had the pleasure of seeing their Axe the Cables set even, but this set was something else. it was so intimate and the energy of both the band and the crowd intertwined to create a beautiful evening. i was thoroughly surprised that they were the only group to play as well. i met some new friends and had a great night overall.
This was the 4th time I have seen Tribe at the Tabernacle and definitely my favorite! Every time gets better and better. This is such a great venue and feels spiritual to see them here each time!
Let's start with the fact the same band played 3 sets! Who does that anymore? Next, the stage show. If you like lights these guys know how to use them. Now let's head to the music ... what a cool sound and the energy of each of the band members was awesome. They looked like they too had a great time. Now, let's talk to the vibe. I guess the mix of great music, great band, outdoor, awesome light show ... had everyone dancing, smiling and having an all around great night.
This three set, enveloping electronic sound and light show sounded stellar.....starting with the grand piano set, the vocal chorus, and the final sounds of electronic bliss...I loved each minute.
Having only seen STS9 once prior at the house of blues San Diego I had no idea what was in store for their new album release at The Tabernacle. The lights, the venue, the people and of course THE BEST JAM BAND AROUND left me speechless in Atlanta. Nothing can prepare you for an evening with Tribe Family let alone two nights in a row. While The Tabernacle was epic we were lucky enough to catch them for a 2nd night of getting down at the nearby Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre and boy was it worth it, an opening acoustic set with some added southern soul! Thanks STS9 for an absolutely AmAzInG two nights in HOTLanta!
Simply amazing show, STS9 has really settled in with Alana on bass and is exploring new territory. It was a beautiful show and I am grateful to have experienced it!
Another great show. They always bring the heat. The musicianship is second to none.
AMAZING!!!! STS9 had lights and sounds throughout such an awesome venue!! <3
Best band out there right now. Music, lighting design, crowd energy. Must see.

The Pageant was an amazing venue and I plan many future concert trips there! STS9 you Rock!
