When I was in high school I swore off electronic music because I was convinced that you could never put on a great show with electronic music. I was pretty stubborn (even more than I am now) back then. I was wondering through Terrapin Station back in 2006 and they had sample CDs at the door of Sound Tribe Sector Nine or STS9. I picked up one of the samples and put it in my CD player when I returned home and probably played it ten times that day. I was mostly obsessed with the song, "Possibilities ft. Mr. Lif." I was lucky to see them a few months later at the Town Ballroom. Although I saw them five years ago, it still stands in my mind as one of the best shows I have seen. Jam band + beats. That was the beginning of my infatuation with that type of music and all my stubborn beliefs that electronic music could not be entertaining or "real" live perished. I even remember going to school the next morning after sleeping four hours still high (emotionally, not literally) off that show.
I have not listened to this band in a while. Hannah was telling me the highlights of Bonnaroo today and she said STS9 was one of the best performances of the festival. Playing till the sunrise. Those shows always stick in my mind. I then realized that I will finally see this band again. I missed their show at Nateva because of the Work Exchange last year but will finally see them next month at All Good.
Ironically enough, when I opened my computer tonight STS9 - Somesing was playing on my itunes. That was the highlight of my first STS9 in 2006. I thought I would share this song today because this song reminds me of great times and great people.
This video is taken from a live show in their hometown, Atlanta. Also, STS9 is known for doing a lot of work with non-profits and environmentally friendly companies which is good to see in an often wasteful, high energy use industry.
