STS9

Went to see Sound Tribe Sector 9 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. STS9 is an instrumental band that plays a blend of different genres of music. Electronic music mixed in with Jazz, Psychedelic, Hip Hop, Southern Rock type of music. At times they remind one of Allman Brothers, especially the latter’s live concerts. STS9 is well known also for the light shows that are part of the performance; in addition to artists on stage who paint during the show. The art, also psychedelic in nature, at least at the show in LA, is then displayed at the end for anyone to see. The band played until just after 1 am. They went on stage about 10 pm. The HOB was packed with also an eclectic crowd, ranging from seemingly young to a few older faces. The all to familiar concert whiff was permeating through the air at times. Here is a clip from one of their past shows in LA.
