Ten years ago today, STS9 threw down an epic show at Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club. The show featured some choice cuts such as an early in the set “Grow” with a tight percussion groove, a breathy “Re-Emergence”, and a melodic “Open E” to end the first set.

A sick “Aimlessly” to open the second set locked everybody in, while “Moonsocket” kept the energy piqued at a high level. “Arigato” brought that hip-hop beat to the nation’s capital with “Blu Mood” bringing the second set to rousing close. The “Tokyo” encore was the exclamation point for what was truly a memorable evening in STS9 history.
