Soundcheck

1990s

1990s are an indie rock three-piece band from Glasgow that claim to play music "like a blonde gets out of a car." Whatever that means, they are here in town for this year's CMJ Music Marathon and join us today with a live performance.

I flippin looove 1990s. Just so they know - I've been listening to Voxtrot and British Sea Power forever, but I bought tickets to those shows so that I could see 1990s. Cookies displays a sound that is so distinct yet accessible and is a welcome breath of fresh air to my music library. Thank you Thank you 1990s for amazing music and amazing live performances - talent showcased today with "You're supposed to be my friend." Great song, greatest band, come back soon! Down with Indie rock bands!!

You've no idea what you're on about Charlie. That band is amazing, go listen to them live and find out what the fuss is about, or buy Cookies. Or go and buy Garth Brooks if that's more your thing...x

I was in Scotland back in 2004 & I felt in LOVE with Scotland. I can listen to a Scottish & an Irish dialect forever.

This band is a lot of fun to listen to. I'll 110% BUY their debut CD COOKIES in my next trip.

By the way this company www.linn.co.uk & this record label http://www.linnrecords.com/ are from Scotland. I visited this great company. TOP NOTCH!

Cheers.

Hamid.
