So many websites, so little time! If you like facebook and are on there, so are we. Join us!!

Last night, the band played at Wicked Willy's in NYC. We've been using Minoru Kickuchi, bn9's original guitarist, for all of our gigs for the past few months. He's doing a great job. It's been fun working with him again. We had Paul and Morgan on backup vocals.

Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the people who came out to see us last night and to the people who were there who weren't there to see us and I want to thank Christina for hooking us up with this very cool venue. NYC is such a tough city and most venues in the city, as most of you in bands know, aren't doing such great business. But this particular venue happens to be in a great location and they also offer drink specials and have beer pong, so people go and hang out.

So we played to a nice roomful last night, and it was FANTASTIC!

As for 2009 in general, bookings are going very slowly. Marco, who does our bookings, is getting many rejections because venues don't have budgets this year to book out of town bands. I have to admit, I am discouraged. I love going on the road and a lot of you, our MySpace friends, are people I've met on the road and I may not be seeing you this year and that makes me sad!

But hopefully, things will pick up. I'm keeping a positive attitude about this year and next year, too.

Anyway, thank you for reading, listening and for coming to our shows. It really means a lot to me.

Stefanie, bn9

Blue Number 9
Let's Find a Way
(Check Other Records)

Who are Blue Number 9 and what does their music sound like? Well, try to think of all the local bands you've seen in your life, take one member from each band and there you have it: some R&B here, some rock 'n' roll there and a dash of everything else in the middle. Their album, Let's Find a Way, is 16 tracks of garage-born style jams expertly crafted into songs. Tracks like opener "It's All Good" and "Spite Spite" make one think of that funky high school band that had you cutting a rug and biting your lip all night at the senior prom. Songs like "The Dog Days" give you that loose, shoulder-swaying feeling you get from the rock group at happy hour after a long Friday of work.

Let's Find a Way will appeal to listeners who like their music with lots of groove and minimal flash. This ideal can be summed up, both in title and technique, by Blue Number 9's cover of Sly & the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song." The septet managed to make an originally ultra-funky composition accessible to AC music lovers without compromising the grit at its core.

This CD is truly a product of its principal songwriters, bassist Marco Accattatis, with his brilliant musicianship, and lead singer Stefanie Seskin, who mixes her airy, enthusiastic vocals with her carefree yet introspective lyrics. Add the exciting horn play of Chuck MacKinnon, Lily White and Rob Susman to the pot, and you've got 61 minutes of music just for chilling and smiling.
