What do other people say about 9 Days' Wonder?
All at once this trio from Tilburg is going very fast. Their combination of dance and pop is appealing. (Interview, Brabants Dagblad, June 28th 2001)
9 Days Wonder has delivered a powerful set at Boschkilde festival. A well thought-out building up, fat beats and emotional vocals sung in key. The band said they would support Kosheen in the sold out venue 013 the following night. That programmer should be very glad having them. So should we. And clapping our hands too and dancing, because that was very well possible. (Xander 77, Popcall, Juli 2001)
