Aside from their innovative music and sound, STS9 is certainly well known for their dazzling light shows in the live setting. Helmed by longtime Lighting Designer Saxton Waller, the band has been cruising along on a potent winter tour schedule. 

Unfortunately, the band shared news that Waller would be missing the final shows of the band’s tour for a family emergency, and that Greg Ellis, LD for Pretty Lights, would be stepping in. Ellis has taken over the lighting rig for the last two nights, including shows at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO on February 12th, and the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL last night, February 13th.

Watch a fan-shot video from the St. Louis show, below:

And here’s footage from “World Go Round” at last night’s Chicago performance:
