 STS9
spokesman today announced plans for a 17-show acoustic tour. Dubbed, "String
Tribe Sector 9" the tour will run the length of the east coast starting
in Atlanta in June and ending in Maine later that month. "String Tribe 9" is
intended to strip away the layers of electronics and effects that have helped
to propel STS9 to the top of the jam world and return them to their more natural
musical roots.
Drummer Zach Velmer says, "Few people know that STS9 was originally
an acoustic trio that focused on pre-industrial Appalachian folk music. We just
played this amazing show at the Winter Music Conference (the premiere electronica
music festival in Miami Florida) and the band came to a realization that we
needed to return to our original intention of being modern folk troubadours."
It is not clear as of press time what material this newly formatted
Sound Tribe intends to cover. Sources close to the band say that Velmer is reportedly
hitting the road with a stripped down kit that includes a wash board, cow bell,
and a set of car keys on a coat hanger.
