The jam band circuit keeps on truckin'

Electro-jam act, Sound Tribe Sector 9, unexpectedly emerges as a big ticket concert act.

"The songs don't follow typical structure, the group has no vocalist, concert performances can dwell 20 minutes or more on one song and none of the recordings has cracked any form of mainstream commercial radio. Plus, the act issues its material on its own label, 1320 Records.

'It doesn't feel like we're the 29th top touring band,' percussionist Jeffree Lerner says during a phone call from home."

I don't know how I feel about Sound Tribe. Granted, last time I saw them was a couple of years ago but I was not that impressed.
