Ninepages
Ninepages is the result of two bands formed around January 2005. Eliot Webb, Russ Martin & Francois de la Rouviere met over various band forums and message boards and formed a melodic rock/metal band called Keyaro. James Brown parted ways with Chapter at the end of 2004 and started looking for a new band with his friend and bassist Alex Bowness. Eliot had been a fan of Chapter and took the opportunity to have a session with Alex and James, with Russ filling in as a session drummer. Both bands we're off to a great start so Eliot suggested that the two separate bands have a session together, which turned out to be a great success. The newly formed 5 piece argued for about two months on a band name across nine pages of posts on their personal forum and it just seemed apt to adopt the Ninepages moniker.
Alex departed from Ninepages at the end of December 2005 but the band found an excellent replacement in the form of Dave Pennell, who has had years of experience in gigging and touring. The newly formed 5 piece have started 2006 by writing some new material for their up and coming gigs in February and March.
The members all have very different tastes and influences which contribute to the Ninepages sound. Influences range from Sikth, Deftones, Seether to Meshuggah.
The band recorded their first demo in May 2005 and subsequently played their very first gig at the Mean Fiddler in Tottenham Court Road London. A second demo was recorded, entitled "Walking through Timelines", in November 2005, which so far have received great reviews. The drum recording on the 2nd demo was done at Moon Studios with the rest including the mixing, and production being done by Francois at home. The third demo, as yet untitled, was recorded in the same manner as the previous demo and was released in April of this year.
