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.

by MPHRedRocks on 9/11/14Red Rocks Amphitheatre - MorrisonSTS9 has long been one of my favorite live bands. I've been attending their Red Rocks shows since 2005. I have to say Murph's presence is missed, but the lady bass player had her own talents. Obviously, they are not as polished, but I give STS9 a solid B for the effort. There was one horrifying part of their show. When some other band from ATL, whose name I couldn't understand due to the poor effects on the mic, played in the sound booth during a set break. This, and I'm not alone in saying it, was the worst single musical performance I've ever witnessed live. I stood, jaw-dropped at how shockingly awful this "band" sounded. They seemed to be in their own world, however, as they were thanking the crowd for their support. The crowd did not applaud... at all. They were seated and shocked into silence by the freak sideshow that was clearly a favor someone owed to someone else...
