9 9 9 - Live 2025 | Support: CLOX

The English punk rock band 999, named after the British emergency number, was founded in London by singer and guitarist Nick Cash and Guy Days. They recruited Jon Watson on bass and Pablo LaBritain on drums, after LaBritain had briefly played with The Clash.

999 soon established themselves as a powerful live act on the London punk scene. "I'm Alive" became a firm favorite in the punk clubs. Their self-titled debut album "999", produced by Andy Arthurs, was originally released in March 1978. The singles "Me And My Desire" and "Emergency" showed their strengths. "Emergency" was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. 999's debut album was one of the best punk albums to be released in the UK in 1978 - and it remains essential to this day.
