From Wikipedia:
Sound Tribe Sector 9 (abbreviated as STS9) is an instrumental band whose sound is based heavily on instrumental rock and electronic music, funk, jazz, drum and bass, psychedelia, and hip hop, originating in Georgia, USA. Self-described as "post-rock dance music,"the band mixes standard live rock instrumentation with electronics, favoring group rhythm over individual solos.

STS9 has released 11 albums, two remixed albums (Artifact: Perspectives & the Peaceblaster: Make it Right Remixes), and two live DVDs (Live as Time Changes and Axe The Cables) on their own label 1320 Records'. STS9 has toured the US nationally and internationally, ranking among Pollstar Magazine's list of top-grossing touring acts, with a heavy presence in the music festival circuit.

June 2011 brought the release of the band's latest studio EP, When the Dust Settles (the eleventh album in their full discography), keeping with XLR8R Magazine's exclamation that STS9 is "one of the country's most intriguing, innovative outfits around." The EP debuted at #1 on the iTunes Electronic Charts and landed in Billboard's Top 25, while the first single "Scheme" was downloaded over 100,000 times in its first week alone.
STS9's self-owned record label, 1320 Records was founded on the principles of collaboration, cooperation, and community.

STS9 has partnered with a variety of non-profit organizations throughout their career. Over the last several years, they have partnered with Conscious Alliance to bring food drives to various concerts and festivals on their tour. In exchange for fan participation in these events. Beginning in Fall 2006, as part of their Live as Time Changes tour, STS9 traveled across the country in a carbon neutral tour bus and powered their live concerts using renewable energy. The band hoped to offset 100%, or about 138,000 pounds, of their carbon dioxide emissions from their tour by donations of Renewable Energy Credits from their partnership with environment-friendly companies.[3]
STS9's remix album "Peaceblaster : The New Orleans Make It Right Remixes", features 30 remixes of material from STS9's 2008 album, "Peaceblaster". All proceeds from this album went to the Make It Right Foundation in an effort to build a home in New Orleans, which has since been completed and taken up by a family displaced by Hurricane Katrina .
