Fremont Chic review
It's appropriate that Nine N Out title their CD Fremont Chic: This second CD seems rooted in the kind of lasting influences people associate as classic Seattle music: garage-based rock, catchy lyrics, a driving beat, and guitar solos galore. Fronted by a powerful female vocalist, this also hints at new wave, at least the kind I associate with Blondie, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Like Fremont, this CD straddles both the funky past, and a more chic and modern future....
This five-piece ensemble is a flat out refreshing change to much of Seattle's washed out indie dribble. Huge sound, big hooks and get-off-your-ass-and-dance-or-we'll-kill-you rhythms make a Nine 'n Out show the best cardio aerobic workout you can get this side of a Billy Blank video. JCB says two thumbs up for Slim's Last Chance and for Nine 'n Out's audio Redbull show. Ciao friends, live well. -Jason Childs September 2008

The Roadhead Journal Online Magazine of Art, Anarchy, Literature, and Pop Culture Dumpster Diving
This compendium of illiterations, art, literature and journalism is a compost pile of fermenting illiterati to toss onto the garden of your imagination to further fertilize it to yield a bounty of ideas and free thought. It breaks rules as it does not recognize good grammer in some instances as the final authority over random thought. The words and art herein hopefully fall from an imaginary pinata as delightful and delicious candy
