Blurry Gems from Memorable Shows in The Holy City Circa the Blackberry Era

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes

North Charleston Peforming Arts Center

(September 29th, 2012)

Fantastic live show. My best friend's wife wanted to do this for her birthday and I was happy to have my friends from home in town together for what I anticipated would be a good show, but a good night regardless. It was so much better than just good, they were fucking fantastic and I feel fortunate to have seen them on one of, if not the last tour, before Jade was outed from the group.

Phish

North Charleston Auditorium

(October 15th & 16th, 2010)

I never fully got them until I got them, until I saw them, two nights in a row, for the first time while surrounded by dozens of my friends.

The band's return to Charleston marked the end of a near 15 year ban placed against them following incidents occurring the last time that were in the area, and after seeing them two dozen or so timew since, they remain among if not my favorite shows.

It was all killer, no filler. And because they have high definition recordings of every show, that you can redeem for free with your ticket, I can relive those nights forever.

STS9

The Music Farm, Dowtown Charleston

(03/20/13)

I saw them for the first time in 2006, it was the first time I ever rolled on E, on the night I was officially done with my active duty enlistment in the Marine Corps - which happened to be my homegirl's birthday. We had a strllar crew en tow and I had never heard electronicesque music played in an instrumental, improvisational way with a full legit band.

As an avid fan of music, and very capable musician, I kept up with music as much as I could while I was gone - but what they did and do was beyond my capacity to absorb initially, what I was hearing for the first time - I was floored by how floored I was, that such a genre of music even existed. It was technical, melodic, and cerebral. It was beautiful.

Aside from The Disco Buscuits, and before Pretty Lights converted to flaunting a full live band for shows, this was very much ahead of its time to hear that sort of music played by an ensemble in such a way.

I rolled my balls off, and after a lot of time spent in dangerous places in various deserts, it was unbelievably therapeutic to end my enlistment with my people on my own terms in that way.

This show was my second or third time seeing them, and went to see them up Asheville that same week as well - it was one of the last tours before David Murphy (bassist, founding member, and leader in my ways) departed. At the time it seemed uncertain what their future would hold, but goddamn if Alana Rocklin isn't every bit the master that Murphy was on bass and they never lost a step.

They're never not, always killer. To be a a couple minutes walk away from a show like this was one of the many endearing perks of living downtown in an amazing city like Charleston. I loved every second of the seven years I lived there. It's a little too much for me now, too boozy, and expensive- but godamn I loved it when I lived there. The City was lit af whenever Sound Tribe Sector Nine were in town.

harkive 6.20.23

yesterday and today have been the same day, alone and not in the mountains. still reeling from bonnaroo, i still feel it it my legs. i need to wash my hair and unpack my car. i didn't realize i could stay up that late, fully sober and fully alone, guided only by a tentative schedule and unrestrained impulse. i just wandered around for 3 days, dirty and hydrated and thinking only about what was immediately happening and sitting in the grass and applying sunscreen often enough. there were no barriers between me and the environment i was interacting with, just me and the place.

i was mainly blown away by just how much incredible music i heard over the three days, like truly just top notch quality musicians. i get so used to small diy shows, lo-fi recordings (which has extreme merit! and is brilliant and genuine) that i am taken aback when i see musicians perform their craft, expertly. rina sawayama, cory wong, STS9, my morning jacket, etc. listened to a great podcast interview with alana rocklin, the bassist for STS9 on the drive home on monday, like truly such a talented musician. that show fully changed me, i was hypnotized and extremely awake. looking forward to getting into their discography and live performances, to hopefully see them again at 4 in the morning.

i wasn't sure what to listen to right away, if it would be overkill to relive that music immediately. but it's what i ended up wanting, so i leaned into that. drove to work yesterday listening to photo id by remi wolf twice. she is going to change pop music. i listened to some of her other songs, which i enjoyed so thoroughly live.

once i got to work i picked a random playlist i had saved on spotify and landed on stereolab-ish by andrew corbett. whoever you are, you did great.

enjoyed the phenomenal handclap band, queued up some dip in the pool. found a cool website (https://www.fondsound.com), read the retinae review, the o boy by salon music review, then listened to it on youtube.

put my june 2018 playlist on shuffle during lunch, i'm ready to listen to it again. it exists in an entirely different context now, outside of tampa, outside of 21. so much of it is so tied to that time, i was back at the stoplight at westshore after getting off the howard franklin during an afternoon storm again listening to earth by giraffage. in the backseat on the way to san luis obispo while listening to the right thing by james supercave.

i was working through some open tabs back at work, reading about STS9, hexstatic, ambient pop music, music from memory, the siket disc by phish. accidentally landed on that phish album while searching for quadraphonics on spotify (which i read about in a youtube comment on the salon music album). ambient phish forever.

proceeded back to rotation 24 on spotify, i've set myself up with quite the mix.

added dyslectic by amber #2 from the these are testing times compilation by 555 recordings to my suuuuuuuper lowkey playlist, only song they have on spotify, let's see if i can find anything about them online. found this album on discogs and youtube and not much else.

been listening to thalia zedek and her band. debbie friedman core, very dykey and safe. like driving through the vermont countryside on an overcast evening in september. that 2002 camp counselor turtleneck kitchen island type feeling i only know how to describe in those terms. reunion, redemption, an event planned via a months long email chain. her cover of you're a big girl now is very much worth a listen. like waiting in the parking lot after whitewater rafting, a long bus ride back.

i flipped through june 2018 and rotation 24 for the rest of the evening and then ended the night with dryfruit by sugar plant, a delicious summer evening record to seal off the day.

i'll be going through this rotation playlist for the next few days, diving deeper into minimum chips, color filter, god street wine, and sts9. enjoying this post bonnaroo connection to music again.

The release of her sophomore album, Ricochet, sees O’Neal expanding her palate and embracing new genres, recording techniques, sound design and collaboration. When she started producing in 2010, O’Neal considered herself a sample-based beatmaker, digging through vinyl records, searching for the deepest cuts that she could…

Sound Tribe Sector 9 Pull out of Two Festival Dates Due to COVID-19

A member of Sound Tribe Sector 9 tested positive for COVID-19, causing the band to pull out of festival gigs in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

“We must take precaution, and for the safety of the festival staffs and other artists, the band will be unable to perform at Secret Dreams and Elements this weekend,” STS9 said in a statement.

“To everyone attending these festivals: please have fun, be safe and we hope to make our way back around to you soon.”

The band didn’t say who was infected or what their condition is.

“This (COVID) is unfortunately still very much a thing and we see it rear its ugly head at moments like this … (we) wish the Sound Tribe folks the best an hope for a speedy recovery,” Secret Dreams’ organizers said in a statement.

East of the Sun: STS9 Live at The Eastern (rescheduled NYE celebration)!

If you have followed my column over the years, you might be familiar with the band, STS9. If not, STS9 is an instrumental band that has been uplifting lives since 1998 with their blend of funk, jazz, drum and bass, hip-hop, electronic, psychedelic music. The band began its musical journey back in 1998 when they started playing in the Atlanta/Athens area. I remember first going to see a band playing downtown Augusta called Sound Tribe Sector 9 because some of my friends were going. Figured why not? I had no clue about this band and well personally I was not into this type of music at the time. After seeing them perform this night, I knew that I was going to see them again sometime down the road.

Now fast forward to present day, I cannot count how many sets/performances that I have witnessed by STS9 at either a festival or just while they toured. But I can safely say that each time I have seen them, it has been a wonderful journey through their music. The band consists of Hunter Brown (guitars/keyboards), Zach Velmer (drums/electronic percussion/programming), Alana Rocklin (bass), Jeffree Lerner (percussion/keyboards/programming), and David Phipps (keyboards/synthesizers/programming). They have released seventeen (17) LPs and four (4) video/DVDs. 

This time around, I was fortunate enough to attend nights two (2) and three (3) of STS9’s East of the Sun four (4) night-stand at The Eastern for their rescheduled New Year’s run. The opening support went accordingly: 06/03 - an all-improv Wave Spell set from STS9 and 06/04 - No Stress aka Paul Horton.

Night two (2) was destined to go down in the annals of STS9’s history as they embarked on a sonic journey that many fans alike drool over- an all-improv Wave Spell set from STS9! This is a chance for the entire band to showcase their individual talents throughout the entire improv set.

Check out the set list for Night 2 below:

Set I: “You Don’t Say” > “T.W.E.L.V.E.”, “Lo Swaga”, “Looking Back on Earth”, “Squares & Cubes” > “Monkey Music”

Set II: “Oil & Water” > “The Spectacle”, “Poseidon”, “Golden Gate”, “Wave Spell”, “Menacer” > “Four Year Puma”

Set III: Improv

 Opening for STS9 on night three (3) was No Stress aka Paul Horton who was born in Athens, Alabama and he may look familiar to some. He plays keyboards with none other than the Alabama Shakes and also tours with Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes lead vocalists/guitars) on her solo career. His latest release is entitled Prelude No. 1 (released March 2nd, 2021) which “presents the fruits of a cleared psyche that blends everything from hip-hop and jazz to glitch and transcendental ambience”. No wonder STS9 asked No Stress to join them on tour, this LP is fantastic from start to finish! No Stress also has released (February 4th, 2022) an EP entitled No Stress + Coupler: Reinvention No. 1 that deserves a listen. Head over to the Official Spotify page for No Stress today to check out some tunes! Or check No Stress out at their Official Bandcamp if that is more your style.

STS9 did not waste any time during the opening for Night 3 bringing some heaters that included “March”, “Move My Peeps”, and “Worry No More” during the first set. As much as I personally love when STS9 does an all-improv Wave Spell set, I really feel Saturday was better in my opinion. Nothing against the fire that was made on Friday for Night 2, but Night 3 was something special!

Check out the Set list for Night 3 below:

Set I: “Really What?”, “March”, “Move My Peeps” > “Tap-In”, “Worry No More” > “Enceladus” > “Worry No More”

Set II: “Big Basin”, “Peoples”, “Dusk” > “Bussin” > “Elevators*, “Like I Do”, “What is Love?”, “Circus”

Encore: “ABCees”, “Firewall”

Show Notes: * First time played since 2019 12.30 (Ravespell)
