STS9 are set to play a wild show at Fillmore Detroit on Sat 4/13
Formed in Atlanta over a decade
ago, instrumental electronic rock band SOUND TRIBE SECTOR 9 (STS9) has risen to
the forefront of the international music scene. Consistently ranked among
Pollstar magazine’s list of top-grossing touring acts, STS9 boasts a
genre-defying list of opening acts along the way including Snoop Dogg, Ghostland
Observatory, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, Big Boi of Outkast
and countless others. The now Santa Cruz-based quintet has sold out the
legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado; performed at Ultra Music Festival,
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival
among many other top festivals; sold out shows across the country as an acoustic
set-up in opera houses or as an electronic act in amphitheatres; performed with
Jay-Z in arenas; and have raised significant amounts of money towards activism
efforts (including $150,000 to the Make It Right Foundation, paving the way to
rebuild a house in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans). STS9 also run their own
record label, 1320 Records, whose goal is to bring the music to the people in
the most conscious, unique, innovative and savvy ways possible to lessen the
distance between artists and fans.

Mojo heralded the album as "...heroically creative " and New York Times said it’s "Shadowy, reverberant, and bittersweet”.
