The High Nines

The High Nines are a 5 piece Rock n Roll band from Manchester and beyond.... Forming in 2011 the band rehearsed practically non stop for 6 months straight before their debut gig in March 2012 at the The Castle in Oldham which they headlined.

Drawing influences from the likes of 'The Music' and 'Kasabian'- reflected by their 'dance-like drum beats, melodic rhythm section and enigmatic front man' (MBC promotions 2012), the band soon began to make a name for themselves..

After their youtube 'release' of '18 and over' the band quickly gained recognition from Manchester gig promoters. This resulted in the band being offered headlined slots at some of Manchester best music venues such as The Roadhouse, FAC251 and Dry Bar, (where tickets ended up selling out) as well as being asked to record an acoustic session for Youtube channel 'Our House' and live interviews on Beatwolf radio.

Setting up their own record label (Lindsay Road Music) they decided to have a go at releasing a download-only single as a reasonably low-budget method of distribution. Over 150 people voted with their feet by turning up to their single launch in December at The Attic in Manchester.

The band has recently received airplay on the Manchester’s ALL FM, North Manchester FM, Salford City Radio and numerous online stations. Not bad considering they are only just celebrating their 1 year anniversary of their first ever gig, .things seem to be moving very fast for this exciting new Manchester band.
