David Murphy, Bass, STS9

Self described “post rock dance music” group Sound Tribe Sector 9 (sts9) rocked The Depot in Salt Lake City on 25 Feb 2010.

The band has just released a new record, Ad Explorata, a collection of grooves and soundscapes.

The first 3 songs of the set came off rather tepid.  The third song, which I believe was a new track from Ad Explorata, was the calm before the storm.

STS9 unleashed crowd favorites such as Metameme,  Instantly, Moon Socket and Grow, and Arigato.  As the band laid down these beloved grooves, the crowd moved in time – and brought a new understanding of the common moniker the band carries – “the tribe”.

STS9 is a band of trademark sounds.

Bassist David Murphy displays bass chops that are well versed in rock and jazz / funk styles.

….oh, the playing was SOLID, too.

Vocalist Lacey Mosley, was an engaging band leader.  Between songs, Mosley was sweet and sincere. Notwithstanding her wholesomeness… Continue reading »
