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.

Brian Eno and Grizzly Bear announce a limited edition 12” for Record Store Day

Grizzly Bear released their album ‘Shields’ (September 18, 2012) to great critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching number 7 in the Billboard Charts (the band’s best chart position to date and second US Top 10) and Top 20s in the UK and across Europe. Mojo heralded the album as "...heroically creative " and New York Times said it’s "Shadowy, reverberant, and bittersweet”.  After being awarded iTunes’ coveted Album of the Year prize, the band are moving on to an even-busier 2013 with major appearances at festivals including Coachella, Governors Ball and Primavera, the co-curation of ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror (with Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and touring major US venues with The xx… with much more to come.
