The quintet swiveled many southern heads from their homebase in Atlanta and Athens. Southern rock was a granite fixture, but STS9 was able to do it their way. The respect for the little band that didn't rely on 20-minute hairdo solos was expanding. However, the siren call of the West beckoned, and the five-piece ventured out to the Bay Area last year to take up residence. Sector 9 is a unique band because the music harnesses them, and not vice versa.
Individual emotions do spill out, but it's done hand in hand with the sound.
We all have them, but we try to come from a place that services the music. We definitely heal ourselves by releasing those daily stresses. I just let it flow. This cruise control has become infectious. The band recently sold out the Fillmore West for two nights and folks walked away each night with a new sense of spirituality.
