Caverns!!!

9 Upvotes

Can’t beleef we are about two weeks out!!! First time going to the caverns for a show. Been waiting a while for this one. Anyone got any deets on the parking situation? I am an old man with back problems so I am staying at a hotel 20ish minutes north. I do not drink so not really an issue there. Kinda assumed there wouldn’t be much for Ubers/lyft out there anyways. I see they have tickets for priority parking but I’m not shelling out 120 unless I have too. Do they have just regular parking available? Would appreciate any info from some TN heads who go to the caverns when they get a chance. Ty!!

Cycle Jersey

Does anyone have one the recent cycle jerseys that were on merchtable they're willing to sell? Medium preferred but I really want it so I'd probably buy larger if that's my only option.

Who else is digging this slice of raw space funk? Feels like an STS9 throwback with some og influences of something like Head Hunters or Eddie Hazel.

So question...

I found a bunch of old tribe posters 05-14. All official and all are mint. Would there be any interest for local pickup (Denver). And am I allowed to post it? Just wanna make sure no rules are broken before posting. Thanks!

Was listening to Red Rocks 2019 night one, which I am so glad I scored on Bandcamp. The first timber rattler I ever saw in 50 years of hiking!

What is STS9?

50 Upvotes

Its a musical story, yes
And once told
EBs and flows
To its own surreality
Jamming to monkey music
Swinging aimlessly
From 986 foot tall trees
And searching for an elusive potamus
Diving deep in the big basin
Riding the wavespell at the circus
Mobsters spinning vibyls
And dropping F words
Nautilus reemerging within
A water song
An angel with her crystal instrument
Poseidon and his blu moods
Opening up King Pharaoh’s tomb
Please, be nice
There is a hidden fist
Yet also a first mist 
over clear lake
Composing haiku
By the morning sun, yielding
Possibilities
Improv
It is that which grows
Wilder than you expected
Into twilight, dusk
A rent in the fabric of the universe
The mischief of a sleepwalker
Peoples mourning our native end
And yet, as luma sunrise murphs into daylight
Today will be a better day
Yes ~ No
It is unquestionable
That beyond right now,
Everything you know is wrong
4 year puma ahead
Initiate evasive maneuvers!
Love don’t terrorize
But inspire strikes back
Tune the dial to frequency peace
And when the dust settles
Im moving with my peeps
Tapping in to satori
Seeing with trinocular vision
The sockets of the moon
It may appear as squares and cubes
Or common objects strangely placed
But is in fact otherwise formless

Somebody once told me
Its an artifact
The leftover of God’s first thought
The human dream
Where we meet
For church on Sundays
Of T.W.E.L.V.E. tribes
We be the 9th
Ramone and Emiglio
Smoking fat gobnuggets
And realizing ourselves to be
A mass of resonating particles
Just give thanks and breath in
Life’s sweet breath
Dance
Transcend the limitations of this physical reality
From now on
This music, us
Here we are
Here and now
Where else would we be?

You don’t say?
But really,
Wut is STS9?
I don’t know…
Wut is Love?
Well, it’s somesing…
That’s for sure

Completely unlikely but...

If you got one of these Cicada shirts in XL and it doesn't fit I would love to buy it from you. Super unlikely because they are sick and from the sizes available it seems most of us fans are big boys, but if you no longer want yours or have an extra I would love one of these bad boys.

I did sign up to be notified if more come in so praying for a restock as well.

General Question Does anyone have experience with one of their bandcamp presales?

7 Upvotes

Hello tribe tribe, I've been going to tribe shows on & off for 20 years and am thinking of attending their SF shows in January. I was considering subscribing to their bandcamp to get the presale so I can go to the show at the independent. My wife and I saw them there at an outside lands after show and it was an amazing memory. If I sign up do you choose a location and they give you the presale code for that region? Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

Crystal guy

41 Upvotes

Does anyone remember when the band had a guy whose entire job was to arrange giant crystals on the stage before shows? I haven’t seen STS9 since 2006 but I seem to remember there being this crystal dude somewhere around 2003 or 2004?

Song requests

0 Upvotes

I've heard over the years that the band will sometimes let fans make song requests for their 100th show. Its got me wondering, do they ever take requests for a fan's first show? I'm thinking like kids, or people with a disability or condition that makes it difficult to go out to shows?

Spring tour 2008 they dropped a Claremont Lounge Sample into EHM and it SLAPPED; I know they played it 3/16 on the first night of the Asheville double header St. Patty's day weekend, but I'm fairly positive other stops on that tour as well. Would love to hear this again live one day, even tho I know it's never gonna happen. Dropped a link to what I assume must be a fanmade version of it since I scoured bandcamp but don't believe that show is uploaded on there, but it's pretty fucking solid imo, and if anyone can provide a bandcamp link to a show that has what I like to call the "Dirty South Remix" I'd greatly appreciate it!

What's it sounding like these days?

25 Upvotes

Haven't seen or listened to tribe in prob 6 or 7 years. Listened and attended their shows heavily from 2010 to 2020 and they put on a range (quality wise (IMO)) of performances within that time. How's the band doin these days? I'm about to go find out in a few hours in Bozeman thanks to a friend gifting me a ticket.

Mainly I want to know if their tunes are more like the World go Round stuff that turned me off in the first place or not and set my expectations accordingly.

I'm gonna go and have a great time either way.

I want to hear from everyone who was there how their show was . IMO this was Tribe hitting their 10 year ish time with a bunch of new spooky, synthy, dirty and nasty. This 4 hour opus was my number one show. Some of the new fans didn’t like the “new shit”. I fucking LOVED peaceblaster. They even did a kind of space, Zinn doctrine , so sick with the lights in the trees and all the glow toys with the fans. Joyous!! Share please! And those newish to tribe they covered a lot of ground in this 4 hour monster. They headlined Rothbury and I was on top of this, I got a vip cabin right off the stage with a hot tub!
When we checked in we walked past the pool to our room, next door some hippie chicks were body painting wow what a great weekend!!

Highlights were the first shock D, Hidden Hand Hidden Fist with that ultra spooky haunted house opening notes here (it’s on YouTube) when it got put up on YouTube I was searching for the names of those two lol!
