“JUST YOUR FOOL” VINYL RELEASE PARTY
THE ONE AND NINES WITH SPECIAL GUEST RACHEL MILLMAN
SULLIVAN HALL, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH AT 7:30PM
New York, New York (Monday, September 20, 2010) –The One and Nines, out of Jersey City NJ, will be releasing JUST YOUR FOOL as a 7” 45RPM vinyl record on September 28th on Brooklyn-based Cotter Records. The track, featuring lead vocals from sassy Vera Sousa, is from their self-titled and produced The One and Nines EP. To celebrate the vinyl record release, The One and Nines will be performing at Sullivan Hall in NYC, with special guest performer Rachel Millman. Millman is a rising Indie artist whose debut single “Throwin’ Rocks at The Moon” is receiving radio air play and garnering national media attention. Starting this week, the highly acclaimed radio show Women of Substance, will be featuring the track in heavy rotation for three months.
Wax Poetics contributor Jon Kirby says of the band’s performances: “The music of The One and Nines is straight, no chaser rock & roll, served well above room temperature. As each song is manufactured for dance-floor consumption, few window units in the Tri-State can combat a One and Nines show at full tilt.” The eight piece rhythm & blues band is creating an invigorating and refreshing sound by reigniting a broad spectrum of 50?s and 60?s soul and rock & roll. The musicians form an eclectic unit with a shared direction and love of the deep roots of American music.
Since the release of Rachel Millman’s artfully crafted pop record IF I BELIEVE last September, she has been moving up the indie ladder. With dozens of outstanding reviews, interviews and feature stories online and in print and sold-out NYC live performances, Millman is making her way to the top of the heap in the indie artist arena. Millman is clicking with audiences and that’s good news for this Springfield, New Jersey native who is capturing music lovers and media attention alike. Once you see her perform you will understand why.
Both The One & Nines and Rachel Millman leave their audiences totally satisfied with their repertoire of songs, their raw talent, their love of performing and their natural stage presence. The One & Nines possess a contagious energy which lures fans out of their seats and onto the dance floor. The creative movements expressed by audience members only add to the show’s dynamics and create a unique experience that one would have to see to believe. The unique charisma of The One & Nines mixed with the power and passion presented in Rachel Millman’s performance and vocal abilities are sure to make for a memorable and fun night.
About The One and Nines:
The One & Nines are a rhythm & blues band based out of Jersey City, NJ. The band’s style and influences come from a wide range of American music, but what is most apparent is the sound of the great rock & roll and soul music of the 50’s & 60’s. Vera Sousa’s stylish, sexy and vibrant vocals are perfectly supported by the band’s big sound (horn section included). The One & Nines (Self Titled EP) is their self-produced recording debut. The subtle and classy arrangements and production are rooted in the grooves and tone of the band's favorite recordings (Stax Records, Irma Thomas, and Spector) and performed with a spontaneity and sincerity that give the record a raw modern edge. The band has been hard at work mining forgotten styles and creating a sound that is sparking the interest of both serious music connoisseurs and accidental listeners waiting to discover their next musical inspiration.
