WOW, what a great time... SBN rockin 2 nights with STS9, the current world heavyweight champions of live electronic bands. We were blessed by a great crew on Friday night at The Roseland Theater in Portland, and on Saturday at The Showbox in Seattle we had stellar lights and sound unmatched as of yet for an SBN show...

John Meyer of MeyerZooProductions shot some great pictures of the Seattle show, including the one above. We'll be posting a photo gallery with more pics from that night, as well as shots from Portland (and hopefully a live clip from the Portland show, once we get the recording in our hot little hands from STS9's own live-recording masters Gig-a-Gig).

Big thanks to Minda Stiles for throwing down to work our merch table and hand out flyers, and BIG BIG love to our manager Margaret Pitcher, who flew up from San Francisco to rock the shows with us and provide the massive logistical support that makes her so famous! Also we'd like to say thank you to the STS9 band, crew, and family who were all so supportive and friendly. See y'all soon, we hope!
