hey howdy hi! i am back from vacation, and it was just lovely. if youre the type to look at photos of other peoples vacations, here are a few that i have thrown up thus far. anyway, my man bj barham of american aquarium is playing at the roux house here in baton rouge tomorrow. so, if you are in the area or maybe even new orleans, c'mon down should be a grand time. the show starts at 7 and is 7 bucks to get [...]

I am posting the February playlist a day early cause I'm not too sure I'm gonna be close to a computer at all tomorrow. This playlist features every band that was featured on ninebullets in the month of February that was also on Spotify. I hope you enjoy it and if you do, pass it along to some friends. Like I keep saying, every new pair of ears these bands reach is a potential fan/head at show. This month's playlist features: American Aquarium, Charlie Parr, Damion Soumi and The Minor Prophets, Joe Pug, the V-Roys and [...]

I was 6 years old when Rocky II came out and I remember going to see it at the twin plex movie theater in downtown Plant City. That movie, as they are want to do, made me wanna be a fighter. I shadow sparred all the way to my Mom's car after the movie and promptly turned my pillow into a makeshift punching bag upon returning home. For the next 4 hours, I was gonna be a boxer. Flash forward 9 years and the next heavy weight champion of the world was sitting in his living [...]

admittedly, i was late the american aquarium party. ive said it before, and ill say it again, how the hell did this band put out 5 records before i finally heard of them and their record small town hymns - which ended up at #3 on my best of 2010 list. boggles the old noggin. i cant believe no one ever said "hey greg there's this band you should check out cause they pretty much encompass everything you love about music, theyre called american aquarium." nope never happened. another thing that annoys me is they tour relentlessly, i [...]

Forgive me for slacking. It had been my intention to provide these posts more often than they have appeared but things like taking my dog to the dog park and watching The Rachel Maddow Show have kept me from compiling links. But here you go. We posted a bunch of new Lucero songs not too long ago and here is an excellent interview with Ben Nichols where he discusses the new album Women & Work . Thanks No Depression . There are several videos on youtube of Glossary playing [...]

This Saturday, Dec. 3, Raleigh's own American Aquarium will be recording a live album with Shovels & Rope and Kenny Roby at The Pour House Music Hall on Blount Street! That's homegrown, y'all. Buy your tickets online here . Share and Enjoy:

This Saturday is going to be a little troublesome for me logistics-wise. Against my better judgement, I am going to try and see American Aquarium's album-recording show at the Pour House -- and I say "against my better judgement" simply because I expect the venue to be slam-packed. Given this band's ever-growing popularity, I fully expect there to be way too many people at this show, which I'm sure is really going to amp up the energy for recording. Can't wait. Kenny Roby is one of the openers. Unfortunately, The Trousers, one of my all-time favorite [...]

well, aint this a kick in the balls. im fairly confident that i told my wife to get the 15th of november off so i can attend this show. in fact, i know i told her to get it off. seeing as the one that now makes the schedules it should have been a no-brainer, but alas this is my space-case wife and i have come to live with it. still, just a little pissed, i must admit. so yeah, they're playing there tonight, and also are running a kicstarter campaign to help record and distribute their upcoming record entitled, [...]

Every now and then the bass player gets his day. Usually the singer or the guitarist gets all the fame and all the questions. So Today Nine Bullets caught up with American Aquarium's bass player, Bill Corbin. He talked about their last record, their next record, and their upcoming tour west of the Mississippi. 9B: It's been a while since your last record, Small Town Hymns came out, at least by y'all's standards. Are there a batch of new songs waiting to be recorded or all y'all just concentrating on playing shows? [...]
"This is a record of consequences. The price that you pay for the life that you live. Burn.Flicker.Die." The ninebullets November Kickstarter Project is a band that we love the hell out of here in the ninebullets.net camp; American Aquarium . The band has launched a kickstarter campaign to record their 5th studio album, Burn.Flicker.Die. in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with Jason Isbell . Their rewards range from the typical autographed album all the way up to the not-at-all-typical reward of having an opportunity to buy their first tour [...]

last year sometime, american aquarium and their record, small town hymns , somehow and mysteriously came into my field of vision. i thought they were a "new" band but dammit if i hadnt been missing out since like 05, which is when i think they formed. shit, i think i even missed em when they stormed through new orleans last year. either way, said record ended up at #3 on best of 2010 list and really up until about a month or so ago, thats all of theirs i had listened to. well, all that has changed [...]

Since this was Fourth of July weekend, I didn't actually spend a lot of time in town, but I was determined to see American Aquarium on Saturday night at Weesefest at the Pour House. American Aquarium has been around for a while, but I had never seen them. I kept hearing them compared to Bruce Springsteen, and I think that's fairly accurate. I can also hear a lot of Drive-By Truckers in their music too. Unfortunately I only found out tonight that they played last night in Beaufort. That's too bad because I was there, and would have [...]
bj recorded this in ian's cabin at campout east , which happened a couple weeks back. looked like a pretty awesome lineup... <!--
today is the last day of cxcw, and its been a doozy. tons of artists have participated and all together me thinks it was a huge success. if you havent been checking the updates over at the site , you definitely need to. that song up there that bj of american aquarium was kind enough to do for cxcw is a new song entitled "redheads and adderall." --> <!--

As anyone who got within earshot of me can attest, by the end of SxSW last year I had had it. Austin had defeated me. I was tired of being drunk, tired of walking and just plain tired. In a word, I was done. Well. Flash forward almost a year and I'm preparing to go do back an do the battle of attrition once again and we're bringing the party back! This year not only is the ninebullets.net party actually located downtown, it's also gonna be two days and featuring plenty on ninebullets.net regulars. You'll find all the [...]
