have seen sts9 many times, thanks to my beautiful daughter. even drove down to atl, georgia to see our boys...outstanding performance. finally met the band at st. andrews hall in detroit in may '06...got all access passes, and nothing like the whole groupie thing...they were so cool and down to earth peeps...just like u and me, but with such a special talent. i have so much respect and love. stumbled onto a band called particle lately that is also talented from start to finish, if u'r interested in some new good chit to listen to. saw them in detroit at the majestic, but make sure u put everything of value in your trunk, cuz everything in our car got stolen. particle let us hang out with them until we figured out what we needed to do, which shows the kind of peeps they are, too...unbelievable!!! apparently all good karma=good music. i'm from such a small town in michigan, i would love to here other personal stories...please share
