Unsigned Entertainment

It was the Whit weekend 2007 in Saddleworth, England; two young men in their early 20s dressed in stolen sheep costumes decided to have a wrestle and the outcome - The 99s.

The first month was spent writing a set, practicing and recording demos. James and Johnny instantly formed a good songwriting partnership and Adams van had three seats - it was perfect.

MUTV hailed the band as their favourite act of 2008 as voted by the public, and the band were soon filmed playing a live session and interview at Manchester’s XFM with the legendary Clint Boon. Tim Burgess of the Charlatans hailed them as “pretty good”.

Taking inspiration from as far and wide as 60’s rock and roll to the warm brass bands of the Pennine villages where they were born, The 99s are going to turn heads in 2009 as the band that can capture the energy of the summer with songs “Rooftop” and “Oh Me, Oh My!” but also the warmth of your local pub fire with the wintry “Eymet” and “Turn of The Tide”.
