only time can account for.
Since instrumental rock band Sound Tribe Sector 9 formed in Atlanta more than a decade ago, the group has transcended the average performance and created a much more engaging atmosphere for its shows. Tonight, the band is bringing that energy to Lawrence. Sound Tribe Sector 9 FTBC
Sound Tribe Sector 9, or STS9,
Sound Tree consists of Hunter Brown (Guitar/Keys), Jeffree Lerner (Percussion), David Murphy (Bass/Synth), David Phipps (Keyboard) and Zach V el mer (Drums).
"The method keeps improving," Murphy said. "We try to continually get closer to really capturing what it is that we do live, which is really how we make a name for ourselves. We want to capture that energy and vibe into our studio records. For a band like us, that is instrumentalists; that is a challenge. It can be difficult, but we try and get a little closer each time."
"Now that we're 15 years into our career, we're letting the music really speak for itself."
DAVID MURPHY
STS9 member
"Sound Tribe refers to the community around us, the people who make the shows happen, our team." Murphy said. "Sector 9 is Mayan-inspired from what was the height of their civilization when there was a lot of artistic prowess."
This concept of artistic prowess is one that has remained prevalent throughout the group's career. The members, who have been together for more than 15 years and are putting together their 12th studio album, work with a fluidity that
Murphy said the emphasis of the new album will be completely on the music.
"We're working with some different producers and outside people to produce a record
that really represents where we are as a band," he said. "Now that we're 15 years into our career, we're letting the music really speak for itself."
In addition to putting out new material, STS9 spends a lot of time on the road at both intimate venues and large festivals.
"You can tell it really means something to the fans, and you can do more unique things musically because you have their attention," Murphy said of smaller shows. "I
think every festival brings its own unique feel to it."
Even while recording and touring, the band has found time to create its own record label — 1320 Records. The label mirrors the same values as the group and strongly supports live performance and artist self-promotion.
The label offers many free releases, which Murphy feels are important for every type of artist, but especially up-and-coming ones.
"When you put your music in a form that is easy to be shared, it starts cycling along," he said. "We built our career around taping live shows and then giving that away to people. We gained a lot of fans from spreading our music in a bootleg type way. We continue to feel like giving your music away and spreading it can be very beneficial, and it's proven to be. People are happy to buy it at that point, and they really want to support you."
ST$9 will be performing tonight and tomorrow at Liberty Hall. A two-day pass can be purchased for $45, or a single day ticket can be purchased for $25.50. The shows are open to all ages and start at 8 p.m.

Why the zombie fascination?
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Zombies seem to be everywhere these days.
In the popular TV series "The Walking Dead," humans struggle to escape from a pack of zombies hungry for flesh. Prank alerts have warned of a zombie apocalypse on radio stations in a handful of states. And across the country, zombie wannabes in tattered clothes occasionally fill local parks, gurgling moans of the undead.
Are these just unhealthy obessions with death and decay? To Clemson University professor Sarah Lauro, the phenomenon is不 harmful or a random fad, but part of a historical trend that mirrors a level of cultural dissatisfaction and economic uneheal.
Lauro, who teaches English at Clemson, studied zombies while
working on her doctoral degree at the University of California at Davis. Lauro said she keeps track of zombie movies, television shows and video games, but her research focuses primarily on the concept of the "zombie walk," a mass gathering of people who, dressed in the clothes and makeup of the undead, stagger about and dance.
It's a fascination that, for Lauro, a self-described "chicken," seems unnatural. Disinterested in violent movies or games, Luau said she finds herself now taking part in both in an attempt to further understand what makes zombie-lovers tick.
"It was a way that the population was getting to exercise the fact that they felt like they hadn't been listened to by the Bush administration," Lauro said. "Nobody really wanted that war, and yet we were going to war anyway."
The zombie mob originated in 2003 in Toronto, Lauro said, and popularity escalated dramatically in the United States in 2005, alongside a rise in dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq.
The mid- to late 2000s also saw an uptick in overall zombie popularity, perhaps prompted in part by the release of post-apocalyptic movies including "Dawn of the Dead" and "28 Davs Later."
"We are more interested in the zombie at times when as a culture we feel disempowered," Lauro said. "And the facts are there that, when we are experiencing economic crises, the vast population is feeling disempowered. ... Either playing dead themselves ... or watching a show like 'Walking Dead' provides a great variety of outlets for people."
