Last night, STS9 returned to its state of origin for a show at the Georgia Theatre. The band, which performed at the venue many times during its formative years, celebrated the Theatre’s return from fire devastation by dressing as firemen and appearing to the tune of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House.” STS9 then moved into the title track of its latest EP “When The Dust Settles,” as it delivered a first set that also saw strong versions of “Golden Gate,” “Squares and Cubes” and “The Rabble.” Set two began with “Arigato” and also included “Circus,” “The Unquestionable Supremacy of Nature” and “Scheme” (which also appears on the group’s recent EP). The band encored with “We’ll Meet In our Dreams” and “EHM” to great effect and crowd response.

STS9′s fall tour will conclude this week, with the next show on Wednesday at the Lyric in Oxford, MS.
