The Unquestionable Supremacy of STS9

Sound Tribe Sector 9 is officially back. Taking
a hiatus for bassist David Murphy to battle cancer, the frontman has come out victorious and they are back on the road again. Their debut show since the break was a set at Ultra Music Festival in Miami.

Here is their set list: Scheme, When The Dust Settles, Atlas, Abcees, Rent, Evasive Maneuvers, Unquestionable Supremacy Of Nature, EHM

It was definitely geared toward the Ultra crowd with songs like "Scheme," "When The Dust Settles," "Unquestionable Supremacy of Nature," and "EHM." Coming up they have two shows in Athens at the Classic Center, one of which is already sold out, then two shows in St. Louis at The Pageant. Once they wrap up those four shows they hit the festival circuit and hit it hard. They play Nocturnal Festival, Hangout Festival, Summer Camp Festival, Wakarusa, Bonnaroo, Re:Generation, All Good Festival, and wrap up at Outside Lands Festival. Road trip anyone?


Today they announced that they will be playing a three night run in Colorado kicking off at The Ogden in Denver on 9/8 before a two night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The first time they played Red Rocks was 2003 and they have played every year since then. I've only seen 3 of their 9 Red Rock runs and the band brings the heat every time. If it is a jam for the funky footed or a straight banger for those breaking necks they have it all in their repertoire. The band is definitely different in many aspects since their first headline show at Red Rocks but they have grown and incorporated past with present that leaves everyone happy and wanting more. Tickets go on sale through their fan club at 1pm MST this Friday. See all you gobnuggets looking back on earth from the moon socket.
