Number Nine Bio
"Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine…"
Number Nine is an 8 piece rock band from Chicago. We play originals and covers in a 3 minute pop singles format. Our sound is catchy with big hooks, great riffs, multi-part choruses and huge vocals with a synthpop backing driven by aggressive, pounding drums.
We got our start in the basement of the Old Town School of Folk Music performing with the OTS Beatles Ensemble. Taking our name from the infamous Beatles/Lennon song, we started off as strictly a Beatles cover band. Nowadays, we play mostly music inspired by the Beatles including our own compositions in the style of Alternative Rock, British Invasion, New Wave, Power Pop and Rockabilly.
