Queen City Rocks 

       With our demo album recorded and the band back up to "gig ready" status, we were pumped and ready to take the stage to compete in The Wolf's Queen City Rocks battle of the bands competition. The day of our performance run off, we learned the bitter-sweet (but mostly sweet) news that our guitar player (Mike Watt) and his wife were in the hospital awaiting the birth of their first born! After quick assessment, the call was made to drop out of the competition as we all agreed we did not want to disservice our fans and The Wolf by limping through our performance shorthanded. Mike's baby was born at 8:03 pm, literally only a matter of minutes before we were slated to take the stage. So unless one of the other bands in the competition suffers the same fate as us, we will have to wait till next year to compete. Nine Gates will be on the scene though! Stay tuned for information on upcoming shows, and thanks again for the continued support!

Nine Gates on The Wolf! 

     Only a few days after our songs made the airwaves for the first time, we hit a little closer to home by landing a spot on the 'Homegrown' section of The Wolf's top 20 countdown. This is a pretty big step for the band. Making it onto a mainstream radio station like The Wolf will hopefully create many more opportunities to get our music out there!

 Nine Gates hits the airwaves! 

   As of January 15, 2014, Nine Gates has achieved one our greatest successes thus far. At approximately 10:00PM (Cental), our songs were played on internet radio station Broken Neck Radio, making it the first time our songs would be played on any type or radio station.

   The songs have actually made it into rotation and are played more regularly than we could have anticipated. They are also available to be requested on the station.

   Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, and to our fans for the continued support.

 Big News Coming Soon

   Today is Good Friday. This is important because Good Friday 2 years ago marked the release date of our 3 song demo album. As you may have noticed, there has not been much activity on this site for over a year now. I assure you, however, we are not dead. Stay tuned for details on what we've been up to and what we're excited to reveal!

Nine Gates And Mike Watt Part Ways

    Here is a message from Mike. We would like to offer our gratitude, love, and respect to Mike for being a brother and for everything he has contributed to Nine Gates.

   "It is with great sadness that I announce my departure from Nine Gates. This decision was a very difficult one for both myself and my brothers in Nine Gates. I've loved every minute of my time in this band. I've co-written some amazing tunes, played some wicked shows, and met a lot of cool people. I wanna thank Tim, Chad, Kenny, and Bevan! I couldn't have asked for better guys to play in a band with. I wish you all the best carrying forward.

Keep it Metal \m/

Mike Watt"
