LiveOne
Named after a Sonny Boy Williamson song, Nine Below Zero grew out of the post-punk/new wave scene of the early 1980s and injected jittery, amped-up attitude to their brand of blues rock. Fronted by Dennis Greaves, they built up a loyal following in their native South London and kick-started their own mod revival with second album Don't Point Your Finger (1981), recorded by The Rolling Stones producer Glyn Johns. They appeared on cult TV show The Young Ones and had a small hit 11 + 11, but the band split after third album Third Degree (1983). Reformed in 1990, Nik Kershaw co-wrote several songs on Ice Station Zebro' (1994) and they went on to tour the world with Squeeze and play with Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Gary Moore and Ray Davies. The band celebrated the 30th anniversary of debut album Live At The Marquee in 2009 and are still recognised as a staple of the British blues rock scene.
