9Bach announce forthcoming live album ‘Ar Y 9’
Following a series of single live tracks released from their 2019 10th Anniversary UK tour, Welsh band 9Bach have announced a forthcoming live album, set for digital release on Friday 17 July 2020.
The album is titled Ar Y 9 —a phrase which is the equivalent Welsh expression to “dressed up to the nines”— and reflects the band’s feeling after the addition of Andy Gangadeen to the line-up, whose more electronic sensibility and unique drumming style are evident in the recording.
Today, another preview track from the album ‘Pontypridd’ is available to stream and download, and anyone pre-ordering the album on iTunes will receive the track immediately.
Following their successful series of #GigsBach9Bach live stream performances from their home in North Wales, Lisa and Mart will be playing a gig for The Live Room on Friday 7 August, at 8pm.
