Within recent years, many bands have been reaching for a kind of all-encompassing, live instrumental take on current and past dance music sounds, sometimes without any vocals. This style is also known in some circles as “jamtronica,“ often indicated by a chosen collective progression rather than specific solos. And not many are doing it better than the California/Georgia-based quintet, STS9. Think ascending psychedelia united with jazz, funk and hip hop style beats making for quite an uplifting sound moreover. Sound Tribe Sector 9 is unlike any other band that will be performing at Kanrocksas this year. It has proved to be rather difficult in getting our hands on free downloads from STS9 by simply googling (their soundcloud page is rather outdated as well). But we suggest your best bet would be to join what will probably be one of the bigger crowds of the whole Kanrocksas Music Festival under the Critical Mass tent for STS9’s nearly two-hour set beginning at 11:15 p.m on August 6th. Bet that. You can preview and purchase their new EP HERE.
