STS9 has become one of my favorite live acts to see on the festival circuit, but only recently did someone give me a copy of their acoustic show at Hornings Hideout. These guys are insanely talented and involved in some neat extracurricular activities like scoring the documentary #ReGeneration, which focuses on the Occupy movement and current youth culture.
On making the album, and the 2009 show,
"In December of 2009, STS9 sat down in one of America’s most pristine modern opera houses on a chilly night in Denver, CO to create the inaugural 'Axe The Cables… An Evening of STS9'. What this night encompasses is one of, if not the most flawless STS9 event in the bands decade plus history. The entire show was played, for the most part, sans all “electric” gear including the common stage instrumentation of laptops our fans have grown quite accustomed to. To say the event was a hit is an understatement. It was a night legends are made of. So much so the band has decided to re-cut, re-mix, and re-master this into one massive release." - STS9
