Concert by the five-piece jam band STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9), blending hip-hop and electronica, presented by WCBE.
STS9 play Newport Music Hall on Thursday, November 19, a show presented by WCBE. The full name is Sound Tribe Sector 9, a five-piece band that started in Snellville, Georgia, and found its footing in Athens and Atlanta before moving out west to the San Francisco Bay Area in late 2000. They're known for live performances that lean into a dance-filled atmosphere, and their sound blends Atlanta-influenced hip-hop with an electronica-jam feel. On stage, they run live instrumentation through Ableton Live on Apple powerbooks, and they've long had an affinity for the Maya '13 moon calendar.
If you've never seen them, that's a good place to start. They're a live band first, and the dance floor is usually where the night centers. The hip-hop influence comes through in the rhythms, while the electronica side handles the textures and the jam feel keeps the songs moving. It's the kind of show that works as well for dancing as it does for just listening.
