Search - 999 :: Live Homicide

999 are an English rock band who formed in London in 1977. They topped the British charts 5 times and the U.S. top 40 once. They are often cited as one of the first punk rock bands. Named after Britain s emergency telephone number, 999 was founded in London by singer/guitarist Nick Cash and Guy Days. The band promptly established themselves as a powerful live act on London s punk scene and became regulars at the Hope and Anchor. On the strength of their well received, self-financed debut single, 999 were signed to United Artists Records around the same time as the Buzzcocks. I m Alive became a firm favourite in the punk clubs.
The band s second single, Nasty Nasty , was cited nearly twenty years after its release as a seminal punk single. 999 toured widely Stateside and the band was rewarded when their albums The Biggest Prize In Sport and Concrete charted on the Billboard 100.
This CD finds 999 in their element - live onstage - shredding a dozen of their most-loved tracks.
