Acclaimed instrumental electronic rock band STS9 is ready to hit the ground running this fall on their “Autumn Tour 2014.” The 25-date outing--marking the band’s first official headlining run in over a year—will be stopping locally in Chattanooga on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at Track 29.
Review for STS9:
Hot off their two-night sold-out run at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado earlier this month, the group—Hunter Brown (guitar/sequences), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards/synths), Zach Velmer (drums) and Alana Rocklin (bass)--will be supported on select dates by Grammy-winning producers J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. In December, STS9 will be joining friends Umphrey’s McGee and the Disco Biscuits for the already sold-out Dominican Holidaze Dec. 3-7 at the Breathless Resort & Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic before ringing in 2015 with three nights at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in Denver on Dec. 31, Jan. 2 and 3.
This year, fans are being treated to STS9’s largest touring production rig ever. Using the latest cutting-edge sound and lighting, the band is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to delivering one of the most visually stunning shows on the road today.
Throughout their many critically acclaimed festival appearances this year, including CounterPoint, Hangout, Wakarusa, Electric Forest, The Hudson Project and North Coast, STS9--dubbed “the masters of improvisational, brain-altering hydro-funk” by David Garber with Vice’s Thump --has also debuted a number of new tracks in 2014 including “World Go Round,” “New Dawn, New Day,” “Totem,” “Click Lang Echo,” and “Only Light Remains,” that are sure to appear on set-lists throughout the fall tour.
