Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9) played The Fillmore in Philly on September 30. I have only seen them a few times over the last few years, but this show was different. They sounded like a new band. A lot of the jams seemed to have an almost house like feel. Not to compare them to another jamband, but they almost sounded like some glorious 2007 Disco Biscuits, without trying to. After touring since their last release, 2016’s The Universe Inside, the new line-up is firing on all cylinders and I suggest you give their new sound a listen.
The Worcester Palladium will play host to a huge array of incredible musical acts in the coming years. September 28 was a night of livetronic legends at Worcester Palladium with STS9 and Denver-based Sunsquabi who opened the night with deep bass lines and a lot of heavy guitar shredding. The trio only played for a half hour, but the room was electrified quickly. Opiou had an incredible set, with Kevin Donohue from Sunsquabi sitting in on a couple tracks.
The “Enceladus tour” brought Sound Tribe Sector 9 to a packed and jam-hungry crowd. The quintet played two incredible sets that never seemed to slow down. With favorites like “Metameme” and “Shock Doctrine,” the fans were given a night of true Tribe greatness.
Set 1: Common Descent > Enceladus, Frequency > Out Of This World > Kamuy, Ad Explorata > Shock Doctrine, Surreality > EB
Set 2: Abcees 1, Rise Above Get Loud > Metameme > Aimlessly, F-Word > Modular, Click Land Echo > Inspire

Their tour continues south before they end in St. Augustine, FL. After Dominican Holidaze they have a three-night New Years Eve run at The Warfield in San Francisco, CA. Check out photos from this past Thursday night, courtesy of Zatchmo Lives Media.
