We’re constantly in the business of fluffing everything that STS9 has been up to lately, and we’re uber pumped about the release of their first “Axe the Cables” show as an official release.
In December of 2009, STS9 sat down in Denver, Colorado in one of America’s most pristine modern opera houses to create “Axe The Cables… An Evening of STS9.” What this night encompasses is one of the most flawless evenings of STS9 music in the band’s decade plus history. The entire show was played, for the most part, sans all “electric” gear including the common stage instrumentation of laptops and samplers that fans have grown accustomed to as the band’s sound has evolved. To say the event was a hit is an understatement. It was a night legends are made of…so much so that the band has decided to re-mix and re-master this into one massive release on their ever-exploding indie record label, 1320 Records.
Axe the Cables will be available June 29th exclusively through 1320 Records and iTunes.
Plans are also in the works to release correlating HD video of much of the show via iClips.net
The band is playing Summerfest and Nateva in the next month and then will rest up for their Axe the Cables show in New York. Read on for the dates.
