THE 9 SPOT

The 9 Spot was born out of the bands Say Uncle, Mint, and Foolsland back in January of 2003. By May of 2003, they took the stage (I mean parking lot) for the first time as a band. Soon after, they began recording tracks for what would eventually be the full-length album, "Thanks For Waiting". By the end of September 2003 they had completed the Booker's Battle of The Bands and walked away with a larger than life check for $5000 (pre-tax). This money was quickly spent to finish the already started "Thanks For Waiting" album; which was finally released in early 2004. Soon after its release, the song "Dotted Line" was featured on the Crankspiv Records Vol. 8 compilation and plans for a video were already in the works. During 2003-2005, the band played almost 200 shows/festivals with acts like The Goodyear Pimps, Skapone, Deals Gone Bad, and Dropped Once . The 9 Spot had planned on releasing another cd titled "Filthy Mouths and Bad Attitudes" in 2005, but took a very long "break" instead. In 2010 the band reformed for a reunion show at Gus's Roadhouse in Woodstock, IL. The show went over very well, but no plans of becoming a band once again were announced. 2012 is here and The 9 Spot is back! Look for new shows starting this spring and summer along with new material! Upcoming Shows: 8/6: Coon Creek Days - Bruce Ream Park in Hampshire, IL - 4p - All Ages - Free! 8/14: Midwest Ska Fest - Double Door in Chicago, IL
