Nine Days Wonder recording first album
By Layne Lakefish
Emerald Entertainment Editor
The story, or better yet the song, be
gan many years ago.
At a bring-your-own-instrument party
in Eugene, five men joined farces. Five
years later. Nine Days Wonder was
born.
And by March, the band will have
more to show for its music than local
concert posters. It will have an album.
The recording of the band's first al
bum (in the form of cassettes and com
part discs only) has had its ups and
downs, but the musicians are working
long hours to create a professional, pol
ished product.
“I'm going to listen to it in my ear
phones while I’m silting on my couch
and I want to like it," said Dave (loev.
bass and vocals for the band. “1 don't
want to hear wrong notes."
The group has also recognized the
other end of the spectrum, calling the
recording experience tiring, tough and
grueling.
"We're a live band." said Mike Walk
er. the band's Hammond B-3 and piano
player. "In the studio, the whole men
tality is different.
"On stage, you try new things and
take r fiances, but in the studio you can't
do that.” he said.
The group has been in the studio
since the beginning of November and
will wrap up tin: whole project at the
end of January after taking a month off
in the middle to tour the Rocky Moun
tain area.
The cassettes and compact disks,
when they hit the stores, will tell the
whole musical story
In the lieginning, the band called it
self Help on the Way. Within the lirst
year, it had a earned itselt a gig at Tay
lor's. lost a member, gained a member.
and changed names.
"Taylor's always gets credit for giv
ing us a chance." said Phil White,
drummer, "even though four of the five
of us were only 18 years old."
"We were the Wednesday bar band at
Taylor’s." said Ben Sturgill, guitar and
vocals.
Because Taylor's opened its doors for
Help on the Way. it’s only fitting that
Taylor's was an inspiration on other lev
els as well.
"We were sitting outside the bar on
the sidewalk making posters for our
show, and wo said ‘Ok. fine, we’ll do
it.’ " Coey said. From that moment on.
the band became known .is Nine Hays
Wonder, and the group started gaining
fans all over Eugene.
"We were pretty much an instant hit
in the college community." said Peter
Bach, guitar and vocals. "People wore
looking for a hand they could relate to."
Nine Days Wonder spent the next few
years impressing audiences in Eugene
and Portland, and then split for a year
in 1985. With the break, the mem tiers
weren't sure it they would ever get hai k
together. Luckily for their tans, they
did
In 1986 they reunited, started finetun
ing their style and started to practice se
riously. Then, last summer, the hand fi
nally stopped out of the Eu
gene Portland area and hooked dates
through the Rockies and into Colorado
and t huh.
Now the group has a reputation across
the country for its indescribable sound
And with dates booked all the wav
through March, it shows.
"We have a fresh, original West Coast
sound," White said. "I'm talking origi
nal rock 'n’ roll .”
For Coey, it’s a slightly different type
of rock "We plav organic, western boo
l.iH a! band Nina Days Wonder is sat
lu release its first album in ManJi.
gin rock." hi? said
Hut, Bach said. the music contains an
even larger conglomeration of sounds
"Them's an element of country it* it."
he said, "but its not tvvangy. It's more
folk
"Basically vve start out at urban folk
and then move up to in-your hu e
psychedelic tarns." Sturgill said
"We're very dvnamit
So it’s a veritable melting pot of musi
cal genres Hut there's even more to it
than that
"Our music is honest," H.h It said, ex
plaining the psvr fiologii .il end of their
music "It's not <i lot of show. It x a lot
of integrity
"Overall, it's intellectual rock 'n' roll
with a hell of a lot of soul," lu* said

defined, it will be available soon at local
