Its an exciting time for the 9Lies crew.

Its an exciting time for the 9Lies crew.

The pre-album release mini tour, that has seen us travel the length and breadth of Northern Ireland has now ended : (

But oddly enough its not all doom and gloom, because the Behind It All album is now available digitaly across the globe from iTunes and may other digital outlets this also coincides with availability in 2,500 record stores in the USA!

Our debut albums has already had 5 different tracks played on at least six Major Northern Irish radio stations and a vast arrey of International terrestrial and satellite stations!

These include the tracks known as 'Slippin Away', which got a welcomed spin on 'Cool Fm 97.4' before the water shed despite the lyrics 'Ahh Let me cum all over you' still being included, DOH! We also had the title track from the album, 'Behind It All' on Downtown Radio, thanks to DJ Johnny Hero who came to see us play LIVE in Newry, he then went on to describe the song as none less than 'Brilliant!' it was also played across the USA on the Indie Limelight radio show followed by 'the Gap' on Sky, and leaving those three up tempo demons on the back burner for a moment, Radio Ulster Broadcast the Ballady 'Too Late' describing us as 'A crusade as much as a rock band' for our stand against POP PAP! But I call that just pure sanity! and last but not least 'Blind' has had several spins now on U105 fm.

Meanwhile back at 9Lies HQ, everyone's getting fired up about some new songs that are not even on this album, and on my part that focus is on a great track called 'We are One' your in for a treat! for Stoogie (Stephen McAuley) and Chris, its got to be 'Heaven is here' and I think Dave and Nick are right behind the aptly named 'Truth will Out' Do you feel album 2 coming on??? or a Film sound track??? stay tuned!!

We have been in the studio since september with these and more new songs with top Irish music producer Gary Aitken So all will be revealed soon.

It doesn't get much better than this Ted!

We've decided to try and make an effort to pop in here whenever we can to have a chat with you lot.

But as you'd except, with the rock'n'roll lifestyle, this might not always be possible.

But please feel free to use the 9 Lies forum for whatever you want to chat about, and visit our home on the web at http://www.9Lies.net to be kept right upto date with the band.

Hope to speak to you all soon!
