| ‘Vagabonds’ is the title of the new T-99 album. 13 Original zesty and sizzling tracks treated with the well-known T-99 formula...: a blend of rootsy, rockin' and bluesy elements, flavoured with Eastern European and North African influences. This new album by T-99 (known for their eclectic approach) lures the listener inside a musical sideshow where geeks, freaks, fire eaters and human cannonballs hold sway. An album that can’t be missed by those who enjoy the unexpected and prefer to steer clear of clichés… The Amsterdam-based trio uses besides uprite bass, guitar and drums colorful instruments like mandolin, ukulele, boxes and buckets. The magical interaction between vocalist/guitarist Mischa den Haring, vocalist/drummer Martin de Ruiter and upright bassplayer Donné la Fontaine is downright impressive. The strong, mostly self written originals are tasty, provoking and headstrong at the same time. T-99 has proven to belong to the absolute top of the European roots scene of today. With the release of the album "Coo-Coo", their debut CD in 2001, T-99 convinced the Dutch- and foreign press which resulted in a non-stop flow of shows in The Netherlands. With the release of the partly in Amsterdam and Tucson, Arizona recorded CD "Strange Things Happen" in 2004 - with guest appearances of Teddy Morgan (also production) and Dave Gonzales (The Paladins) - the press could not find enough superlatives to recommend this album. The third album "Cherrystone Park" which was released late 2005 put T-99 definitely on the European map. Through the years T-99 showed itself as being a constant factor on stages across Holland, Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland in the past few years. "Vagabonds" is the title of T-99's fourth album. In its existence T-99 has played among others at Noorderslag, North Sea Jazz Festival, Waterpop, Popkomm (DE), Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival (Peer, BE), Oerol, De Parade, Noorderzon, Eurosonic, Moulin Blues, Blues Passions in Cognac (FR), Cahors Bluesfestival (FR) and was support act for Dr. John, Los Lobos, Little Feat and De Dijk. |

Music:Member Since: 12/28/2005Band Website: T-99.com Band Members: 'Sun' video Sounds Like: T-99 (Amsterdam/The Netherlands) has proven to belong to the top of the alternative European roots scene of today. With their eclectic mix of rock 'n' roll, blues, country, surf, punk together with a touch of eastern European and north African influences, they tour all over Europe since 1999. T-99 are three young bohemian characters and an old dog, playing on vintage and weird instruments with wild energy and a high dose of passion, carrying out an original blend of musical styles what could be defined as the T-99 sound. THE 4th ALBUM After three successful albums, 'Vagabonds' is the new T-99 record. It contains 13 original tracks treated with the well-known T-99 formula: a blend of rootsy, rockin' and bluesy elements, flavoured with some exotic melodies. This new album by T-99 lures the listener inside a musical sideshow where geeks, freaks, fire eaters and human cannonballs hold sway. The band signed for production themselves and the album has been released by their old habitat, the label Cool Buzz. FORMER ALBUMS With the release of the album "Coo-Coo" in 2001, T-99 introduced itself as being the most promising new band in the Benelux blues and roots scene. After a few member changes in 2003 the band released another album in 2004 titled "Strange Things Happen". Partly recorded in Amsterdam and Tucson, Arizona it has guest appearances of Teddy Morgan (also production) and Dave Gonzales of The Paladins. The third album "Cherrystone Park" which was released late 2005 showed besides more catchy songs also a psychedelic side of T-99 that lead them to an even larger audience. HISTORY Through the years T-99 showed itself as being a constant factor on (pop) festivals and stages across Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Great Britain and the US. In its existence the band has played among others at Noorderslag, North Sea Jazz Festival, Waterpop, Popkomm (DE), Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival (Peer, BE), Oerol, De Parade, Noorderzon, and Eurosonic. The band also functioned as successful support for Chuck Berry, Dr. John, Los Lobos and Little Feat. Music by T-99 is being used in several TV-shows and programs like NOS Studio Sport, Keuringdienst van Waarde and AT-5 and the trio has done several performances on national Radio and TV. In May 2008 the band was invited by radio DJ Mark Lamarr to make exclusive recordings at the London BBC studio's for the popular radio show 'God's Jukebox'. OOR Magazine: "...most exciting and renewing roots band in the Netherlands and far beyond..."
