About the Artist

999 were conceived in late 1976 by Nick Cash (vocals/guitar) and Guy Days (guitar/vocals) who teamed up with Jon Watson (bass) and Pablo Labritain (drums). Their fist gig was January 1977 and constant gigging brought with it critical acclaim and a hard-core following who called themselves ‘The Crew’. The band released their own single ‘I’m Alive’ on Labritain Records and it did well enough to become a minor hit and earn them a contract with United Artists. ‘Nasty Nasty’ and ‘Emergency’ scaled into the lower regions of the charts and ‘Homicide’ made the Top 40 despite being banned by radio!

Early 1979 saw 999 tour the USA, an achievement in itself as they were still without a USA record deal at the time! The response was ecstatic and a deal with Polydor sealed.

After two albums 999 left United Artists, recorded a further 10 albums and to date have completed 13 USA tours, 87 London gigs, 26 UK tours and 19 European tours. An impressive tally from one of the most outstanding bands of their generation.
