One of Amie Street's first indie bands is making it's mark...

New Jersey based rock/pop quartet Never The Nines is picking up speed and moving at a remarkable pace. Within one year, the band performed as part of Bamboozle at The Meadowlands, was rated one of the top 3 bands at the Midpoint Music Festival in OH, was featured at an industry party at SXSW 2007, and will soon play opening night of the New Jersey Devils play-off game!

While at SXSW, Never The Nines' guitarist, Austin Briggs, played on stage with Robert Randolph and the drummer from 'Moe', Vinnie Amico.

The band plays piano heavy rock with contagious pop hooks and an edge that other bands in the piano rock genre lack. Noted for their deeply moving songs, high energy, and theatricality on stage, the band is a staff favorite here at Amie Street. We know they are headed for the top. Now, the band makes Amie Street the ONLY place to download two new favorite tracks: What You Did (

), a creepy song about a scorned lovers revenge, and Devious Things (), a dark, smooth serenade.

Never The Nines will be playing a huge show at The Knitting Factory Tap Bar (74 Leonard St, NYC) on Saturday, April 14th at 11pm.

Do not miss the opportunity to see this band live, they will not disappoint!

Amie Street is proud to present its fourth installment of its Showcases series. This Friday, December 15th, from 7:00pm - 8:30pm, Amie Street favorites Rob Drabkin and Morgan Rogers will play Arlene's Grocery (95 Stanton Street, NYC) . For those unfamiliar with Rob Drabkin's music, you got to check out Sweet Things and The Way You Look Tonight - two great songs which illustrate Rob's sick guitar skills and sultry voice. For the Dave Matthews fans out there, be sure not to miss this. Rob is currently on tour with Tim Reynolds.

And for fans of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and any man who can play a harmonica, we have Morgan Rogers; a timeless Amie Street artist who is best exemplified by his tracks Backwards and Drunken Words . Both songs exist as true throw-backs to the glory days of acoustic rock in the 60s and 70s. The show begins at 7:00pm and ends at 8:30pm. Despite featuring two artists, tickets are only $10 (a great deal). See you then.

This Saturday, November 25th, Amie Street will be showcasing a great NYC talent: The Bones Royal at Crash Mansion (199 Bowery St.). Hailing from The East Village, The Bones Royal embody rock n' roll in its music, its attitude, and its dress. Drawing large local crowds on nothing more than its live shows, The Bones Royal is situated well within the the current NYC "up-and-comer" movement.

Crank up the headphones and check out Marie . You'll want to buy it. Listen for the chorus as it shouts "Can't get her out of my head." After hearing the track, you'll have to agree.

Crash Mansion, a NYC landmark, has played host to artists ranging from The Spin Doctors, Usher, Wyclef Jean, The Fray, and George Clinton. We're proud to be a part of the madness with such an incredible band. The show is an hour long and starts at 9:00pm. Tickets are $10 (and worth every penny). Come. Tell friends.

Like Dave Matthews, Damien Rice, and/or Jack Johnson? Turn up those speakers and check out Rob Drabkin - an unbelievably talented guitarist and songwriter. Don't like those artists mentioned? Check out Rob anyway, he's worth it. Already a success in Denver, Rob has gigged with Tim Reynolds (of the Dave Matthews Band) and was recently invited to play for former president Bill Clinton. Rob's song Sweet Things is currently in rotation on Sirius Satellie Radio's Coffee House.

Amie Street fans took to Rob's music immediately, and within 48 hours of posting his music, Rob's songs were bought almost 100 times, and REC'd 10 times. Check out She Comes and Goes and The Way You Look Tonight before the next rush.

Listen to Ron Drabkin!

"An unbelievable night of music," said Gabe Goodwin, an Amie Street user. "The bands were unreal. Looking forward to the next one."

All fans attending Amie Street's first showcase in New York City this past Friday night shared these sentiments as the music flowed from the Cutting Room stage well past 2am. Over a hundred people listened as Andrew Fox and The Emergency opened the show with Love Letter to Calypso , a beautiful arrangement of earthly folk and playful soul.

Joe Whyte followed, changing the musical direction more towards acoustic folk rock. The crowd felt it, as fans sang along with Amie Street favorites such as Let Me Down and Best Of Me .

Never the Nines closed the showcase with forty minutes of unrelenting rock and left everyone wanting more. NTN's set included Amie Street tracks Liar and Out & Through , as well as newer, more groove-based songs. The Amie Street Showcase was a great success, both in attendance and musical contributions. Thanks to everyone involved. Stay on the block, live cuts from the showcase are coming soon.
