Wade Steigmeyer (R.I.P.)
We added "Risque or Gambit (whichever you prefer)", and an unmastered remix of "My Will Be Done", to listen to over at our www.purevolume.com/nineeven page. We also added the ability to download "29" for free over there.
The remix of "My Will Be Done" was the first one that Wade Steigmeyer, the engineer who worked with us on HELM did. We were going to work up a full remixed version of SEAMSAN OVER. with Wade behind the desk, but suddenly, and shockingly, Wade passed away a few months ago. He was a very talented young (mid-20s) engineer, and a very good person to work with as well, which is of course a very hard combo to find. 9E extends our thoughts to any who knew him. It is very surreal to think that HELM will be one of the only credits, on what should have been a long career discography for Wade. You will be missed.

supplement to F.A.Q.s
We have been asked about style shifts/when they happened. We wanted to post when the songs we have played first came out/were written. This includes all the songs 9E has ever played live -
Before 9E started - (2001 or before) Search (Seamsan Over.) Jade Madison (unreleased) Temples of Solomon (Seamsan Over.) Silent Bride (Seamsan Over.) Gailleann (Seamsan Over.) tribalsong (Seamsan Over.) My Will Be Done (Seamsan Over.) Delusions of Failure (unreleased) In the Fog (Seamsan Over.) Embolis (longform) (M T Space)
Early Nine Even (2002-2006) SKRape (Seamsan Over.) Terra Firma (Seamsan Over.) sus (unreleased) Gone, Compromise (Seamsan Over.) 29 (Helm) Old (unreleased) Halopaint (unreleased) My Closure (M T Space) Friend of a Friend (Seamsan Over.)

There are plenty more songs, but like we said, these are the only ones we have played live up until now.
NINE EVEN

Saturday, December 19, 2009

Further F.A.Q.s - 1
Q - Band members favorite songs to play live -
Jake - "Search"/"29" Chris - "The Guessing Game"/"In the Fog" Mike - "The Guessing Game"/"My Will Be Done" Jason - "SKRape"/"Al.Most.Fa.Mous."
Q - What does the name NINE EVEN actually mean? A - It can mean many things. 9 is the number of circles, hence the logo with the circle, and a box in the middle. It means that once you break out of the box, you see the circle that remains outside of it. The even part came as a sort of contradiction. Like much of 9E's music, you can get mixed messages concerning subject matter (happy/sad, uplifting/tragic). At least that's one of the stories..........
Q- Who is Zazu? A - Zazu is the 9E Lead Roadie, known to his friends, and the California legal system as Dave Lynch (no, not the director, or the guitar repairman superman of Nor Cal).
Q - Who is the drummer in 9E? I have seen you guys several times, and there has been several faces behind the set? A - 9E has had many faces sitting on the drumthrone in our history. Depending on when you saw us it was one of these people - Ryan Kile, Jason Karstens, Brandon McCullough, Aaron Odell, Kevin McTamany(Seamsan Over.),Cameron English, Bob McClain (Helm), Scott Garrett. There are many stories on all of these talented people, and what brought them in and out of 9E. Most were drummers who were just filling in for a short period/recording for us.
Q - What is 9E's current status? A - 9E is planning/fixing/doing many things right now behind the scenes. We have a lot of material we want to release in the near future, as well as a remixed version of our 1st album "Seamsan Over.", and the vinyl version of "Helm". The next thing people should expect in 2010 is probably a digital single, and a collection of instrumental material full of crazy and moody soundscapes. Another 9 song full length will happen at some point, probably closer to the end of next year. We have been busy over the last 2 years, and several members of the band have some things they want to spend some time with before we hit the live circuit again. We enjoy playing live to everyone who has seen us, and we can't wait to do it again.
Q - What is that crazy laughing sound in the middle of "My Will Be Done"? A - It is a circuit-bent Tickle Me Elmo, that the engineer Adam Myatt had in the studio. For more info on this, check out the blog about "My Will Be Done" in our older blog posts.
Q - I heard (fill song name in here) live at one of your shows, but it isn't on the albums? Where can I get it? A - Depends on the song. Several songs we have played in the distant past still have to be released - sus, Old, KcarKcrash, Jade Madison, Halopaint, Delusions of Failure, One Hundred Percent are all in this category. The live version we played on the last tour of "My Closure" is a live rearrangement of the loop/effect heavy MT Space version of the song. We also did a cover for a short time of a Radiohead song named "Climbing Up the Walls". Other then this kinds of things, we have only rarely done another cover, but we have done many snippet/teases of other songs here and there. Check our setlists if you didn't know the song cause we like to give credit where credit is due.
Q - What albums have you officially released? A - "Seamsan Over.", "MT Space", "Helm". All available all over the internet including iTunes and all the other usual places.
Thank you and keep the questions coming!

9E F.A.Q.s
Due to the INSANE amount times of we have gotten asked these questions (Serious/Sarcastic/somewhere between scary and sad) -
Yes it is Nine (9) E V E N. No connection to nineeleven or 911.
Yes we are aware that 9 is not an even number, and no that does not have a connection to why we chose it as a name.
Yes we do know that one of the e's in our logo is backwards.
Thank you for asking,

happy holidays
Happy Holidays to everyone from 9E
We are not planning any live shows in the near future, but we are working on a LOT of recording. We plan to release a few singles, and a EP of more spacey/instrumental stuff along the span of the next year. Another 9 song album in March 2011.
We have gotten great responses so far to our latest offering "Helm". People seem to be digging this concise look at 9E. Our "MT Space" EP is also getting quite a few hits online for those among you that like that sort of thing. Please continue to send us your reviews (or post them on iTunes or another site).
Thanks again for supporting 9E, and we hope to see you again soon, with a satchel of surprises under our trench coats....

"Helm" track x track part 1
"Phobialairs" (2004)
is a mash up of The Cure, A Perfect Circle, the Secret Machines, and living in Citrus Heights as a non-gelatinous being during the late '90s in a daze of romantic denial. I wrote the music in a short burst of songwriting creativity along with "Fate's Freedom", "Last Day She Saw", "KcarKcrash", "The Man on the Door", and several others as well. Much like "Gailleann" it was written in less time then it takes to actually play.
"The Guessing Game" (2008)
was written after meeting a young man who's words greatly mirrored Chris' prior to his exile in Germany/ex-marriage. The riff I had laying around before that, but the meeting/mocking of said emo-romantic bravado cauterized the song into being. It's original infulence was Origin of Symmetry era Muse, Angel Dust era Faith No More, AEnima era tool, and Zeitgeist era Smashing Pumpkins, but the song has been compared to Rush/The Mars Volta/Radiohead by other band members. Anyway you cut it, the song Rawks live, and Mike did a great job with the solo.
"Risque or Gambit (whichever you prefer)" (2009)
is an extension of trying to do other versions of "SKRape". This is the Interpol version. The lyrics I wrote about a girl who I briefly tried filling the hole with, something I do not recommend to anyone. Chris' altered the lyric a little ("stay" was "stain") to make it go another, more straightforward direction. Matt, Wade, and Adam "Talbert" make guests appearances as additional radio voices for the 5.1 mix.
"29" (2001)
has gone through many versions over the years. It started as an acoustic song, with lots of spacey ambiance, became a straight forward distortion rocker, went into electronic land mode, and came back to mix all into one. 2 of the greatest bands ever had a hand in bringing this song to me, the Smashing Pumpkins firstly, and also Radiohead. Chris again altered a word ("turn" was "tear" in my original) to give a less violent spin on things. The leads I tracked were written the night before we tracked them in RadioStar, and seem to fit like they were always there for me. This marked the 1st time I have ever been happy with the tracking of my Fernandes Native (used for the distant Sustainer-pickup induced Ebowlike tracks), and one of my favorite ever recorded tones of my modded Satin Strat into my Diezal VH4.

Hidden Sea Cure:a Tea on iTunes Current mood: miserable For some reason iTunes cut the 50 or so seconds off "Hidden Sea Cure:a Tea".

Embolis (longform) -2001 1 of the early 9E songs. About a man who committed suicide and watches his girlfriend at his own funeral follow in his footsteps. A very cinematic track.
My Closure - 2002 a song about a broken relentionship. Chris' perspective.

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Be warned that the new tracks we have just uploaded at myspace are not encoded versions. They will be updated asap when we have the encoded versions. We know people have been waiting for some new stuff so we put these up to wet the palette (or whatever)...so if there is some cymbal smearing or other digitizing-ness that is why. We also uploaded a demo version of an old song, named "sus" (it's means Suspended). These will be the lead off track on our next full length album in 2010, and will NOT have the drum machine on the album version. This is just a sketch, but again after all the waiting, here is something else to tide you over. We are finishing up the artwork for Helm. M T Space should be available for those who want to digitally download and trip out to it by 8/15. As soon as it's live, we will post about it. Thanks for tuning in, and we will see you live soon, NINE EVEN

Teusday, May 19, 2009

Some of the people we have let hear the mixed but unmastered version of our upcoming "Helm" EP have been mentioning that it seems like we have expanded our range with this new EP. We are grateful for the kind words, and can't wait to see the general public's reaction to the album.
To clarify how the NE's song history has gone down, I thought we should give everyone a general idea again of when these songs were written, and how it may be best to track our development as we have gone -
1996-1998 This is when I starting writing music for a project that was still nameless at that point. I had yet to meet the other members of NE, and I spent my time learning to play along to Smashing Pumpkins and Tool CD's. These songs were written then, some you may know, some you will in the future -
Search Helpless to Resist Walk Out There (With Me) Theme Dyfenik (More Bad Thoughts) Finale Terra Firma Jade Madison
1999-2000 In the time between '96 and '99 I worked on a lot of stuff, but the majority of that material isn't NE worthy. Here are a few stand outs that we have brought in over the years.
Temples of Solomon Silent Bride Gailleann My Will Be Done Delusions of Failure En-trance Benefits Benefits Reprise New Genesis
2001-2003 During this time we were starting Nine Even up, and really began our search for a solid line-up (which of course still continues, thank you drummers). These songs were the real beginnings of NE combined with the ones you see here from before.
sus In the Fog SKRape tribalsong Embolis (longform) 29 Gone, Compromise Halopaint My Closure Dying a Little Bit Each Day O.T.U. Hidden Sea Cure:A Tea Old Man in Passing
2004-2006 This was a period of long distance collaboration. Chris was in Germany, Mike and I were here. These are some of the songs that sprang forth -
Away KcarKcrash The Man on the Door Bailaoch Caoin TX=The State of Stolen Futures Cambridge Delerium Phobialairs Fate's Freedom Last Day She Saw Friend of a Friend
2007-2009 We really started picking up steam here, with Jay coming into the fold. These are some of the songs we have begun working on or finished lately -
Bumblebea Questions Al.Most.Fa.Mous. The Guessing Game A Cure for Dreams (Don't Sleep) One Hundred Percent Glow and Shimmer Beyond the Norm Risque or Gambit (whichever you prefer) Detour to Oblivion Roll the Tape
There are more, but the main reason I wanted to post this is because I wanted to remind people that along this long road we have walked, many songs have been put on the shelf until such a time as we could get to them. Some of the stuff we are about to release, for example, dates back quite a while. Some of it's brand new. Much like "Seamsan Over." we have to go through the shelf and pull the ones out that time has decided to smile on. If you listen to our music with a more chronological approach like this, our style might seem a little more seamless. Just a thought for any that may want to listen to iTunes playlists or whatever.
We are currently also remixing our 1st album "Seamsan Over." for a rerelease eventually. We are planning on putting some of the remixes out before then, with some of the leftover Bsides/alternate versions we have laying around. RadioStar Studios rocked big time for us on "Helm", and that's why we have decided to remix the 1st album - because it's sounds even better.

Teusday, May 22, 2009

We will be playing this Friday up in Reno at Knuckleheads. There will be a few set change ups coming, as we will be pulling out a song we have not played live in a few years, but just recorded for the "Helm" EP. That song is named "Phobialairs". A few other songs we haven't played in Reno yet will be unearthed as well. Keep checking in, as we are adding shows, and some other designs for merch as we get them. Thanks,

Teusday, May 5, 2009

As we type copies of "Seamsan Over." are being delivered to many radio stations across the country via a promotion company we are working with, named Powderfinger Promotions. We will be watching our sites and seeing where the people are checking in from, so we can play live in their/your areas soon. We are planning another trip out to the surrounding states in July/August, and then further out in September after the "Helm" EP is released. More plans are coming with bsides/leftovers/remixes/alternate versions being released between now and Christmas. We should have the "Gone, Compromise" tshirt posted up here tomorrow. We will probably begin selling the limited edition shirts exclusively online, because we can't bring that much merch to shows (other bands are getting pissed for taking up too much merch space). Keep posted as we are constantly updating little things here, there (www.nine-even.com), and everywhere (www.cdbaby.com/nineeven, www.purevolume.com/nineeven).

Saturday, May 2, 2009

I have a few touch ups left to do to "29" today mix-wise, but all is ready. "Helm"'s tracking will be done today, and then it's off to mastering, and into production. It's been a great week up here in Weed, CA. I/we would like to take the time to thank Sylvia Massey, and all up here at RadioStar for a great experiance, and most directly Wade, our faithful engineer. He has helped us see this project through to fruition, and it sounds great. If you are another band reading this, we wholeheartedly suggest you try RadioStar out, and ask for Wade. Also, special thanks goes to Matt Erich, the owner/opearator of EME Studios in Sacramento. We demo'd all the songs there (and many more), and he came along for the ride up here as well. Lots of tips, and moral support. We thank him, and ask where would the Sacramento music "scene" be without him? Thanks for reading, and let's play some shows!

We will be updating throughout the week, as we record the songs for our upcoming 4 song EP. We are trying to book as many shows as we can for after the recording. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to book Nine Even, or play with Nine Even. All of you play who want us to come to your cities, please message us or leave comments. We do read all of them. Nine Even is currently branching out to a lot of new places, and we want to know where to head to first. Noth, South, East, West, we want to go amke some new friends, and play some great shows. We are grateful for all those requesting us on the radio as well. Please continue to do so.

We just wanted to post a quick blog. Next week we will be heading up to Weed, CA to record 4 songs for our upcoming release on 09/09/09. We will be recording at RadioStar Studios up there, with a good friend of ours named Matt Erich from EME Studios in Sacramento. The songs are all ones we have played live at one time or another, "Phobialairs" (which we haven't played live in a few years, but will be adding back in soon), "The Guessing Game", "Risque or Gambit (whichever you prefer)", and "29". Originally we were going to record another song instead of "The Guessing Game", called "KcarKcrash", but decided to save that for the future, and record this one for this EP instead. This will not be the only recording we will be doing in the near future, as we are already planning another album to be recorded/released in 2010 as well. More info on that when the time comes... We will be playing a show this upcoming Saturday in the Sacramento area, and then on Tuesday in San Francisco. There has been some questions on that show, but we are working out the details right now. Then it will time to restring the guitars, change the drumheads, and coil the cables for recording time!!! As you may have also read, we have a few other leftover tracks we are still sitting on as well. We are considering our best options on releasing those, but they will be released by the time this EP is available. These 3 songs show a little more of the experimental side of the band then "Seamsan Over." did. They are a little more soundtrack-y and spacey. Until then keep posted on our ever increasing range of merch. We will be on a few merch sites soon to make the stuff more readily available. Keep in mind that the limited edition tshirts we are doing for each song on "Seamsan Over." are only being printed in runs of 100 each at this point, and sizes are limited. If you are looking at getting your favorite song's matching shirt contact us, and we will make it happen. We will probably do another limited run of the shirts at the end as a combo deal for all 12, with some kind of bonus. Anyways, all will be coming soon... As always we want to hear from everyone on how they liked our live show, what's their favorite song, and where they want us to come play. GO SUNFISH!!!

We have uploaded 4 songs to our www.ourstage.com/fanclub/nineeven page, along with their limited edition tshirt art. "Search", "In the Fog", "Silent Bride", and "Bumblebea" are all there. In case you haven't noticed, we are creating limited edition tshirts for each of the songs on Seamsan Over. 4 are currently posted here, and the "Search" shirt is already available at our merch table. The other 3, and all the rest will be available soon. Also, we keep getting asked so here is how the titles are pronounced (you can guess some of them) Seamsan Over. (seem son over period, it means hesitation over period) SKRape (scrape) Gailleann (gil lee ann) Al.Most.Fa.Mous. (almost famous) Bumblebea (bumble bee) Terra Firma (tear a firm a, it means solid ground) And the new song that people keep asking about - Risque or Gambit (whichever you prefer) this is the actual song title, and it will be recorded along with Phobialairs, The Guessing Game, and 29 just 2 weeks from now for a 09/09/09 release date. The title is said like - "Risk or Gambit (whichever you prefer)" which means you can actually call it "Risk", "Gambit", "Risk-k (Risque)", whatever you want to call it. The "risque" is just to mess with people, as is the rest of the title. In the mybook facespace world people make up their own minds about things, so you can choose your own title for it.
