In 2001, String Cheese Incident arrived in Vegas for what would be their first-ever “Sin City Incidents”, taking to the Aladdin Theatre on July 27th and 28th for two incredible performances. Now, fourteen years later, these memorable late night sets are coming to life on SCI’s brand new release, Rhythm of the Road: Volume 2, Live In Las Vegas.

Five years after the first Rhythm of the Road, this exciting archival album highlights two of the band’s most celebrated concerts. String Cheese is in fine form throughout, playing a number of jammed-out fan favorites, including “San Jose” and “Howard”. We’re excited to premiere this bust-out version of the classic tune, “SKAT”. Take a listen to this crisp jam from 2001:

Bassist Keith Moseley commented on the new release, saying “It’s always fun to listen back through the archives and find old shows that we consider to be important shows in our band’s history. Las Vegas is always a big party and these shows in 2001 were no different.  It was July in Vegas so it was really hot.  Everyone was really going for it musically, stretching out some long jams during these late night shows… We are real proud of it.”

You can pre-order the album right here, which is due out on October 9th. The band is also set to kick off a fall tour on October 14th, which includes an exciting two-night stand at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on October 23-24 right before their Hulaween Festival from October 30-November 1st.
