Anybody who knows the Scottish music scene will tell you that Mickey 9s are one of the most exciting bands to see live. The irreverent four piece from Glasgow combines elements of dance, punk and disco into a blistering, genre-defying groove that sends crowds into a frenzy. They are previous Best Live Act Winners at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.
After releasing their third album, Modern Kunst (in 2021), Mickey 9s found that their heaviest work to date was also the most popular amongst their (now cult) following. Since that albums release, they have had six sold-out in a row Glasgow gigs in The Garage, Room 2 (twice), King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, SWG3 and Saint Lukes, multiple tours around Scotland and the release of their fourth album in May 2024, Impressive Snake.
The band have just played another 400 sold out hometown Glasgow gig on Saturday 30th November in Room 2. 2025 is the ten year anniversary of the release of debut album, The Party Manifesto, with plans afoot to celebrate that.
