About The Band
Nine Days is a rock band formed in Long Island by John Hampson and Brian Desveaux, their debut album, "The Madding Crowd" was released in 2000, marking Naine Days' entrance to the music scene. The album reached gold status. Their greatest popularity came from a handful of hits from the Madding Crowd such as "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" and "If I Am"
Named after the amount of time they had to record their first record, ninedays began around 1994 when talented songwriters Brian Desveaux and John Hampson started writing songs together after spending years in other bands playing in and around New York.
Once joined by bassist Nick Dimimichino, drummer Vincent Tattanelli and keyboardist Jeremy Dean, the band began to write and record a vast array of songs full of heartfelt emotion, personal triumphs and tragedies, together with melodic hooks, quickly turning this fresh new band into and exciting live act.
The hurried recording of their first album, 1995's Something To Listen To, then gave ninedays the impetus to follow that with and album named after their Monday night residency at a local popular club, Monday Songs, a year later. Further success followed as they were winners of WBAB's Home-grown Talent Search and WLIR's Best Unsigned Band Competition and with the recording of yet another album, 1998's simply titled Three, it wouldn't be long before the major labels would show their intrest.
Ninedays then signed with Sony's 550 Music and released their major label debut, The Madding Crowd in 2000, winning the band both critical and commercial acclaim. Due to the phenomenal success of the single Absolutely (Story of a Girl), the album went gold, making making the world stand up and take notice of this band from Long Island. The album, named after Thomas Hady's novel "Far From the Madding Crowd" contained a range of songs that audiences could not only love but also relate to and so the focus then turned to the writing and recording of the follow-up.
The answer to all those questions, and more, lay in the spectacular and hard-rocking So Happily Unsatisfied, an album full of the hooks, riffs and beautiful lyrics contained in previous albums but with an edge never before seen or heard in a ninedays record. Originally due for a Summer and then Autumn 2002 release, plans were then postponed in October of that year in order to prevent the album from being "lost in the crowd" of all the other albums due for a similar release date. Regardless of the quality of excuse given, in this case poor, the fact remained that the album that could change the fortunes of ninedays was stuck somewhere between the cutting room floor and a whole bunch of red tape. Only a few months later, Sony and ninedays parted company.
Much of early 2003 was taken up by lengthy negotiations between the band and the record label to somehow get the much anticipated album released, however, these talks failed, leaving ninedays with an album they couldn't release and Sony with an album they clearly didn't want to be released.
Ninedays got down to doing what they do best, returning in late 2003 with a brand new album the aptly titled Flying The Corporate Jet. With appearences on compilations and success in Interenet charts, the future of ninedays has never looked so promising and has never been in safer hands, their own. Right now the band is rehersing and in the studio having a good time while making some good music.
Recent news has suggested that the band is actively tourning the New York area at the moment, and are now reuniting to release a full-length CD comprising of a number of new songs and a few remixed versions of former solo efforts. Recording began in mid-August with a December 2006 release date.
On January 17, 2007, ninedays will release its first album in three years. The album is the first of a two part album that contains six new songs. The title of the album is Slow Motion Life [Part One], the name comes from a line sung in the song "Alive", that will appear on Part 2 of the album. Part Two is set for an early summer 2007 release.
