STS9 RELEASE AXE THE CABLES TODAY ON 1320 RECORDS; SUMMER TOUR KICKS OFF IN AUGUST AT
NEW YORK CITY’S GRAMERCY THEATER & CLOSES WITH TWO NIGHTS AT COLORADO’S RED ROCKS
AMPHITHEATRE

STS9

In December of 2009, STS9
sat down in Denver, Colorado in one of America’s most pristine modern opera houses to create “Axe The Cables… An
Evening of STS9.” What this night encompasses is one of the most flawless evenings of STS9 music in the band’s
decade plus history. The entire show was played, for the most part, sans all “electric” gear including the common
stage instrumentation of laptops and samplers that fans have grown accustomed to as the band’s sound has evolved. The band has
decided to re-mix and re-master this into one massive release on their indie record label, 1320
Records.

Axe the Cables is available now exclusively through 1320 Records and iTunes.

STS9 is on tour in the coming months, performing select intimate acoustic Axe The Cables shows in New
York, Chicago, and Atlanta, as well as plenty of the electronic heavy-hitting events the band is known and loved for,
culminating with their annual, 2 night musical takeover of Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. STS9 has signed on a slew of supporting acts across the entire tour including Thievery Corporation, Big Gigantic, The Disco Biscuits, The Album Leaf, Lotus, Ghostland Observatory, Bassnectar, Alex B, John Hughes, RJD2, and many more to still to come.

“AGITPROP POP” AT ITS FINEST

It’s been a busy year for M.I.A.. In between a controversial New York Times article and a headline
grabbing music
video, it’s been easy to forget that her new album, the appropriately titled ///Y/, is set to drop
July 13.

M.I.A. has released a new single from the album. “Teqkilla” has the singer name checking different alcoholic
beverages to a chaotic background of noisy percussion and electro beats.

Listen to the song below or download it on iTunes.
