25 years after their pop-rock hit ‘Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)’ first tore up the charts, Nine Days are finally coming to Australia.
The Long Island five-piece are headed our way for the very first time for a series of East Coast shows this November, announcing a trio of headline tour dates in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)’ and their breakthrough album The Madding Crowd.
Nine Days – ‘Absolutely (Story of a Girl)’
“We have been waiting 25 years for this opportunity!” frontman John Hampson says in a press statement. “Over the years, fans from Australia have reached out to us wanting to know when we were going to make it there to play some shows. Well, now we can finally give them an answer – this November! I collect all the cool things that Sony Records put out for the band, and I always loved the CD single they pressed back in 2000 that had some ‘bonus’ live and unplugged recordings we did in Seattle.”
He continues: “As far as I can tell, Australia was the only country where these CD singles were sold. For some reason, this fascinated me. This year we celebrate 25 years of The Madding Crowd album, and ‘Absolutely (Story of a Girl)’ and I cannot wait to finally make it down under to hopefully meet some of those people who’ve been waiting for quite a long time to see the band; and if you happen to have one of those CD singles, please bring it with you. See you in November!”
