   About 99 Men

Mike Caviezel is the founder, producer/engineer, guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of 99 Men. He started 99 Men in 2004 as a creative outlet not afforded by his other job of producing soundtracks for video games and television. Mikes original music productions have appeared in such television shows as MTVs The Real World, Tough Enough and Live Through This, as well as NBCs Providence and the WBs Jack and Jill. As a producer and engineer, Mike has worked with many Seattle artists, including Fall From Grace, Denny Porter, Running With Scissors, Rorschach Test, Subminute:Radio, Willis, and Subpoenaed Lemur. Mike holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Music and Audio Technology from Indiana University.

Guitar became an obsession for Rick at the age of 13 following the birth of "Master of Puppets". He was fascinated with music from his earliest years recalling memories of attempting to locate the band by disassembling the speakers. After spending too many late summer nights glued to the television anxiously awaiting Ricki Rachtman and the next "Headbanger's Ball" it was time to hit the stage. Having spent some time fronting the local rock trio Mojo Hand through the 90's he now brings his experience to an already finely focused 99 Men.

Sandys earliest memory in life is enjoying a PB&J with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds as the soundtrack. He began crashing around on pots, pans, and Tupperware around age 6. At age 14, he purchased his first drum kit. Shortly after this purchase, his longtime next-door-neighbor, Mike Caviezel, picked up a guitar and amp, and their first rock band was formed. Many evenings and weekends were spent massacring Rush, The Cult, Duran Duran, INXS, Van Halen and Judas Priest(!). In early 99, he was asked to audition for the band Porter, and got the job. When Porter disbanded mid 2000, Mike and Sandy decided to continue the pursuit of music which brings us to 99 MEN.

Shawn Chambers "Osh" is the newest member of 99men. He picked up his first bass in middle school when he joined the school band, and never looked back. With an ecclectic taste in music, he's found himself playin in all sorts of bands.....from Heavy Metal to Pop to Irish Folk. After looking all over the South Sound for someone to play with, Shawn came across an ad for 99 MEN..... and here he is.

This is a super special comment to let you know that RADUMUS is playing down at Studio Seven on Monday May 12th.

I'm not sure the exact set times, but the doors are at 7 so I don't imagine it will go too crazy late. If you wanted to come down, that would be probably be pretty alright with me... ; )

$10 / all ages/bar with ID / five good bands / Doors at 7pm

If you haven't checked out the video "Radumus in 120 seconds", you should check that out on the bands page.

Studio Seven is at:

110 South Horton
Seattle, WA
98134
