Sound Tribe Sector 9 (abbreviated as STS9) is an instrumental band whose sound is based heavily on instrumental rock and electronic music, funk, jazz, drum and bass, psychedelia, and hip hop, originating in Georgia, USA. Self-described as "post-rock dance music," the band mixes standard live rock instrumentation with electronics, favoring group rhythm over individual solos. STS9 has released 11 albums, two remixed albums (Artifact: Perspectives & the Peaceblaster: Make it Right Remixes), and multiple live DVDs (Live as Time Changes, Axe The Cables, and various live performances) on their own label 1320 Records.〔http://digital.1320records.com/search/?artist=STS9〕 STS9 has toured the US nationally and internationally, ranking among Pollstar Magazine’s list of top-grossing touring acts, with a heavy presence in the music festival circuit. ==History== Since forming in Atlanta, GA over fifteen years ago, instrumental electronic rock band STS9 has experienced an unceasing meteoric rise to the forefront of the international music scene. The band consistently lands themselves on Pollstar Magazines top touring charts in the country, with recent average attendance of over 5,000 fans per city. STS9 boasts a list of opening acts such as Snoop Dogg, NAS, Bassnectar, Ghostland Observatory, The Glitch Mob, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, Big Boi of Outkast and countless others. STS9 has headlined stages at festivals such as Wakarusa, Moogfest, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Regeneration, Lollapalooza, and Electric Forest Festival. STS9 runs its own record label, 1320 Records. The group has raised significant amounts of money towards activism efforts (including $150,000 recently to The Make it Right Foundation, paving the way to rebuild a house in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans). The band’s last studio EP, When The Dust Settles (the eleventh album in their full discography), keeps with XLR8R Magazine’s exclamation that STS9 is "one of the country's most intriguing, innovative outfits around.” It debuted at #1 on the iTunes Electronic Charts and in Billboard’s Top 25, while the first single “Scheme” was downloaded over 100,000 times in its first week alone. STS9’s self-owned record label, 1320 Records was founded on the principles of collaboration, cooperation, and community. 1320 Records currently boasts over 300,000 unique downloads and over 1,000 releases by over 100 artists including Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Big Gigantic, ESKMO, The Glitch Mob plus dozens more. On January 14, 2014, it was announced that founding member and bassist David Murphy was leaving the band. Alana Rocklin was recruited as his replacement.〔http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121201/STS9-Returns-With-Alana-Rocklin-On-Bass-and-New-Material〕 Rocklin performed with the band for the first time March 28, 2014 at McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Phoenix, AZ. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sound Tribe Sector 9」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
