The String Cheese Incident Revives ‘Friday Night Cheese’ Live Archival Video Series

The String Cheese Incident is bringing back their pandemic-era live archival video series “Friday Night Cheese.” The first installment in the new series is SCI’s September 6, 2003 concert at Red Rocks airing Friday, January 26 at 8 p.m. ET free on nugs.net and the band’s YouTune channel.

Cheese kicked off their 30th anniversary celebration this year with their three-night 2023 New Year’s run in Oakland and recently announced spring tour dates around the occasion. In a social media post, Cheese noted, “[w]hile the band is taking a short break from touring this Winter, we’re bringing back a new episode of FNC each month…”

SCI’s September 6, 2023 home state concert at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre saw the band celebrating the release of their 2003 studio album, Untying The Not. The show saw two debuts of Untying The Not tracks “Tinder Box” and “Who Am I?” SCI also performed the album’s “Way Back Home,” in which they fit “Orion’s Belt,” and “Valley Of The Jig.”

Opening the show were New Monsoon, DJ Greyboy and a band then called Sound Tribe Sector Nine (STS9). Tribe members Jeffree Lerner and Zach Velmer joined the band on percussion during the encore which began with Cheese playing “Lester Had a Coconut” acoustically from the soundboard.

Additional STS9 members guitarist Hunter Brown and keyboardist David Phipps joined SCI for a jam before the band closed out the concert. Tune into “Friday Night Cheese” this Friday at 8 p.m. via nugs.net.
