STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010
STS9′s inclusion in Summer Camp may have been due to the fact that these old guys create soundscapes on a grand scale.
Traditional late-night fare, STS9′s blend of electronica with live instruments makes them doubly enjoyable. They rocked the house past 3AM and even did an encore.
The room was a bit too full for my tastes, and the way that this venue handles photo passes meant that there were none – STS9 forbid any media from accessing “the pit” at the front of the stage.
I’m not sure why artists/management/show staff do this thing other than for a power trip. It’s not like the drunk girlfriends/jail bait that you miracle’d with passes are worth the publicity of these shots.
STS9 if you’re reading this, PLEASE consider that the artist here (me) would like you to realize that requesting that I put my gear in harm’s way is a pretty ridiculous one. Regardless, some decent pics, a great show and fun way to end the night.
