STS9=Pink Floyd of our generation?
    #8024847 -

Initially i got into sound tribe by listening to some live recordings and studio work i got off soulseek.  I was definately drawn to them once I finally gave them a shot.. the fusion of drum n' bass, dub, jazz, rock, etc, that they pull off is really one of a kind, imo.  There are a few other acts out there, i guess, but I think STS9 does it best. 

Having grown up listening to stuff like pink floyd, zeppelin, the clash, and loads of other classic rock, psychadelic rock, ska, alternative rock, and old punk rock, I have a definate love for the live act.  A dj or producer just can't really measure up to someone playing an old-school instrument like the guitar, bass, piano or drums.

The fact that all the members of STS9 have pretty well mastered both a "live" instrument, as well as computer software and digital or analog hardware, is really impressive. It's really hard to grasp just how much goes on during some of their songs until you see them live. 

I'm not going to try and describe their show.. google and youtube can provide plenty of eye candy..

The point of the post is, I can't think of any band that i've heard of in the past few years.. except maybe The Flaming Lips.. that are really doing some forward-thinking music, and a really amazing live show.  STS9's show incorporates some really fresh music, really talented musicians, and a great light/visual show.

It's going to be really hard for any kind of music to come out now and make an impact like Pink Floyd, or the Dead, or Zeppelin, or the Stones, or any other famous live act.  But, I think STS9 deserves a definate nod in the realm of Floyd... psychadelic rock, really, done extremely well and using todays technology as best possible.

I remember hearing people talk about them on the boards here a lot, then I saw they were playing Lollapalooza last summer, which I was going to be attending, so I decided to check them out to familiarize myself. I'm fucking glad I did. They're live show is awesome. One of the best live acts I've ever seen (up there with Daft Punk's pyramid, Joshua Redman, the Marsalis Family, and Tool.) I didn't get a taste of a complete live show until this past fall in Columbus, and it was absolutely incredible. I hope to see them many more times.

I could sit there and watch their drummer play for hours. He's pretty much all I focus on when I've seen them.

at first, i just watched the two drummers.. but, in Las Vegas i was stuck watching the guitarist all night.. not in a bad way, but man, he can seriously play the guitar and ableton, or whatever he's playing off of when he's hammering that midi-keyboard. 

They're all really talented.  See you at langerado, right?  :smile: gonna be a killer show, i know it already.

Radiohead is the Pink Floyd of our generation. Epic rock with lyrics that sing about both internal emotional turmoil and external societal pressures, all coming from a very scary psychological place and turning it into something beautiful.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

i still don't get it..

that stuff's for cutters. 

:smile:

seriously, though.. I don't see them as fresh.  Unique, maybe... they definately have their own sound.  But, how many depressing ass songs can you really make? 

maybe i need a refresher course or something.. I just can't remember a song of theirs that didn't drone on and leaving you feeling slightly sadder than when it started.

you know i would be in total agreement with ya Yos, i grew up listening to and going to  rock and punk, hardcore shows..
  hell ive even seen pink floyd after "momentery lapse of reason"

and yea on the fresh tip i think the tribe is way ahead of most others....i dont think they are quite big enough too have floyd status, but i think they are every bit as talented and important in the scope of things....

  hell the fact that they are turning young people  on to the jazzier side of music makes me excited..and like you said the mix of traditional and computer instruments is the shiznity..

    i hadnt been doing any shows because of the stale lame ass live shows going on , but after first hearing and loving the tribe ,seeing them locked it down ,and like the tribe said ,their shows must be experienced to be believed...
      i see alot of older fans dissing their newer stuff at the moment , but hey they are growing , and who wants to keep playing the same setlist every year , they dont want to be piegon holed into the same  stuff, at least thats the way i feel
      and i love the fact that there is no singer fucking it all up:awesome:
      and the scene they generate is wonderful...most shows have a great vibe and cool peeps
   
      guess im a old tribe kid at heart, def the best thing going(live shows wise)    :heart: Tribe

I totally agree.

Funny thing about STS9, David Murphy went to my high school, tho a few years ahead of me. One of my ex-connects is good friends them.

I'm surprised so many people feel that way about Radiohead. I'm with OMR.

And as far as tribe goes, I've never seen them live, but any recordings of live shows I've heard (and that's quite a few, I used to date a "tribe kid") aren't my cup of tea at all. I'm sure they're great musicians.

Word.

STS9 is a jamband and a mediocre one as far as I can recall. Jamtronica at its finest no doubt, but still, take that for what it is.

ive been to a few of their shows and the best way to see them is in a latenight spot at a festival. you really get the most out of them at like 3 am with everybody just grooving on the same wavelength, its not depressing at all. they are doing quite a few festies this year def. a must see.
