On January 14, 2014, it was announced that founding member and bassist David Murphy was leaving the band. Alana Rocklin was recruited as his replacement. Rocklin performed a whole set with the band for the first time on March 28, 2014 at McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, having previously made a guest appearance performing "Gobnugget" on December 29, 2013 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Rocklin was a fan of the group before joining them and has previously played as part of Jim James' band. STS9 has partnered with a variety of non-profit organizations throughout their career. Over the last decade, they have partnered with Conscious Alliance to bring food drives to various concerts and festivals on their tour. In exchange for fan participation in these events, STS9 and Conscious Alliance thank patrons with limited edition artwork posters, often created by the same artists who accompany the band on stage. In 2005, STS9 put on a benefit concert where they raised over $20,000 for Hurricane Katrina victims. Beginning in the fall of 2006, as part of their "Live as Time Changes" tour, STS9 traveled across the country in a carbon neutral tour bus and powered their live concerts using renewable energy. The band hoped to offset 100%, or about 138,000 pounds, of their carbon dioxide emissions from their tour by donations of Renewable Energy Credits from their partnership with environment-friendly companies. STS9's remix album, "Peaceblaster : The New Orleans Make It Right Remixes", features 30 remixes of material from their 2008 album, "Peaceblaster". All proceeds from this album went to the Make it Right Foundation, in an effort to build a home in New Orleans, which has since been completed and taken up by a family displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The home has many eco-friendly features, including solar panels, high efficiency HVAC system, wire-free lighting panels, tankless water heater, dual flush toilets, low emissivity windows and doors, a rainwater collection system, and water-absorbing native landscaping. For protection against future storms, the home has walls that can withstand 130 mph winds, Kevlar hurricane shields for the windows, and a roof hatch in case an escape is necessary. STS9 has gained acclaim, as well as a distinctly loyal fan base over the past decade. Their 2005 album "Artifact" reached #12 on "Billboard"s Top Electronic Albums. They have moved from playing and opening in small clubs and bars to headlining major music venues and festivals.
