1/29/12 Reunion gig/Recording session
We had our first gig in over two years, and it went great. Band sounded awesome, and we got some awesome material for our upcoming live recording.
1/21/12
So the Nine has had it's official reunion. We rehearsed for the first time in two years last week to get ready for our upcoming shows. The band toughed it out in my unfinished studio and managed to get through all of the tunes despite the 50 degree room temperature. Check out the videos from rehearsal to get a sneak preview of what's to come.
