\"\"<\/a>25 years on from its release,\u00a0‘Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)’<\/strong>\u00a0remains a key entry of the US pop-rock canon, expertly delivered by Long Island, New York group,\u00a0Nine Days<\/strong>. To celebrate its impact and the band’s ongoing legacy, Nine Days will be touring Australia\u00a0for the first time<\/strong>\u00a0in November, hitting East Coast venues for a series of unforgettable shows!<\/p>\n

The tour has been a long time in the making and now, Australian fans who have been with Nine Days from the beginning, will have the chance to connect with the group via their catalogue of heartfelt songs and unbeatable performances.<\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0MRG Live<\/strong>, Nine Days’ debut Australian shows \u2013 celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)’ and their breakthrough album\u00a0The Madding Crowd<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 are ones the band are incredibly excited to finally undertake.<\/p>\n

“We have been waiting 25 years for this opportunity! Over the years, fans from Australia have reached out to us wanting to know when we were going to make it there to play some shows. Well, now we can finally give them an answer \u2013 this November!\u00a0 I collect all the cool things that Sony Records put out for the band, and I always loved the CD single they pressed back in 2000 that had some “bonus” live and unplugged recordings we did in Seattle.<\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, Australia was the only country where these CD singles were sold. For some reason, this fascinated me. This year we celebrate 25 years of The Madding Crowd album, and “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” and I cannot wait to finally make it down under to hopefully meet some of those people who’ve been waiting for quite a long time to see the band; and if you happen to have one of those CD singles, please bring it with you. See you in November!”\u00a0<\/em>JOHN HAMPSON, NINE DAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Released in 2000, tearaway hit ‘Absolutely (Story of a Girl)’\u00a0 became a track that brought the band global notoriety. In Australia, the song peaked at\u00a0#31\u00a0<\/strong>on the\u00a0ARIA Singles Charts<\/strong>, and has been a mainstay on commercial radio ever since. Along with being an instant classic of the US pop-rock music, the success of the song earned Nine Days a\u00a0double-Platinum\u00a0<\/strong>certification and in more recent history, it has accumulated over\u00a0175 million streams<\/strong>\u00a0on Spotify alone.<\/p>\n
