Background
For those of you with a liking for hi-tech pop/AOR then a tour up 9th Street might just be your bowl of latte. Signed to Frankfurt based Bellaphon Records, this British outfit play in a similar style to bands such as Channel 5, Modesty, Valet Parking and Go West. There's a bit of Toto to be found here too. Of the personnel, guitarist Keith Beauvais has played with many artists, including Gary Numan, Tom Jones and Take That. The others all have a background in studio work. Their image would seem pitched at the hi-tech dance/pop scene, but a closer listen sees 9th Street taking up position at the gates of AOR and melodic rock. The saxophone work of Chris Margaray also adds hints of Norway's Private Eye
