The story and history of Nine Black Alps is forever etched in UK grunge-rock folklore. 2014 however was the year when they released their 5th album ‘Candy For The Clowns’. Signed to the newly formed Leeds label Hatch Records, the album was a far more distorted and rockier affair that harked back to the likes of Everything Is and Love/Hate.
For a band 12 years into their career ‘Live from The Wishing Well’ marks their first ever live album. Set for release on May 4th it features a full length Nine Black Alps performance captured on 14th December 2013.
The show, taking place at Gorilla in Manchester was a special concert to celebrate 10 years since the band formed. Nine Black Alps ran through a set that covered the full breadth of their career from early singles ‘Shot Down’ and ‘Unsatisfied’ to recent releases like ‘Supermarket Clothes’.
At just under an hour in length, the album showcases the band’s fiery live sound with no production trickery and even features a special guest appearance by ex-bass player Martin Cohen.
