One of the longest-lived groups of the punk era, 999 formed in London on December 1976. Led by vocalist/guitarist Nick Cash, guitarist Guy Days, bassist Jon Watson, and drummer Pablo LaBrittain.

999 quickly established themselves as a popular fixture on the London punk circuit, issuing their debut single, “I’m Alive,” in late 1977.

A major U.S. tour preceded the release of 1980’s The Biggest Prize in Sport.

1983’s 13th Floor Madness was universally panned for its disco-like grooves, although 1985’s self-released Face to Face was acclaimed as a melodic return to form.

In 1993, 999 returned with their first studio album in eight years, You Us It! Though the material didn’t quite reach the heights of their
earlier releases, it certainly proved that the band was most certainly still alive and kicking. Further live performances throughout the rest of the decade cemented the fact that the band was here to stay.
