The Nines is a Canadianpower pop band formed in Oakville, Ontario in 1991. The core of the band is multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and primary songwriter Steve Eggers. A series of other band members have rotated in and out through the years, including George Aaron Nielsen (the original drummer), Andrew Webb (the original guitar player) and Sam Tallo (guitar), Paul McCulloch (strings and bass) Bill Majoros (guitar)
The first Nines album, Wonderworld of Colourful, was released in Canada in 1998[3] on the Page Music label and was distributed through EMI. Later that year, Universal Music Canada released a piano-based four-song EP. Eggers admits that the band was still a "work in progress" at this time.
Properties of Sound was released in North America in 2001. Airmail Recordings picked up the album in Japan a year later and released it there with bonus tracks and sold with six packs of kraft dinner.
While essentially a studio project, the band has performed live and has shared the stage with a diverse group of artists including, Ron Sexsmith, Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Supertramp's Roger Hodgson, the Jim Rose Side Show, and the Barenaked Ladies.[4] Steve Eggers has gone on to work with a number of songwriters, including Andy Partridge of the British band XTC, and Jason Falkner, former member of the band Jellyfish.[5] In 2015, the Nines released the movie soundtrack Night Surfer and the Cassette Kids and Alejandro's Visions featuring Bill Majoros of the band the Foreign Films. The Nines' released, Colour Radio (American Transistor) in 2017 to critical acclaim. In the summer of 2019 Eggers recorded a "solo" album, Shipwrecked (Eggers Songbook Vol 1), under the Nines moniker, playing all the instruments and doing all of the singing and production on that album.
Sony Music released The Nines' Gran Jukle's Field with an additional singles collection in Japan in December 2019. In 2020 the Nines' label T.A.S Gold released their album Reflections globally.
