VIRUS. 9 started back in the spring of 1996 in a small city known as Medford Oregon, As a four piece band playing weak, One minute songs that envolved no talent, And practicing in Mike's living room while his mom was at work. VIRUS. 9 pressed on after 3 short lived bass players and 3 different short lived drummers, Mike and Josh (The only original members) Decided to get serious and find people that would be dependable and be willing to add a little flavor to the style.....Slowly but surely VIRUS.9's style and creativity emerged and progressed. VIRUS. 9 (Now a 5 piece) Found themselves getting more involved with stage presence as well as props and gimmicks. With Mike Virus (Vocals) Running around on stage in a straight jacket and the rest of the boys in gasmasks. VIRUS. 9 Has developed a combination of fast, Unleashed, Heart stopping Punk Rock, With a mixture of Hard-core and Ska-core to bring back the Oldschool that once lived in the hearts of kids all over the world! VIRUS. 9 is fast becoming a staple in the world of the "Independent Punkrock scene" and has just released a 7'inch vinyl record on Mental Records, entitled: VIRUS. 9 -'51 at Enewetak-,They have also released a self produced DIY cassette "VIRUS. 9 -The Welfare Society-, Which was recorded in Mike's living room about 3 years ago and it really sucks (And is long since sold out and also out of print) But could be considered a mile marker on the road of VIRUS. 9's development as a young Punkrock band! Now new and improved with Mike Virus on vocals, J-Dubb on guitar and backing vocals, Fingers on guitar and backing vocals, C-Dogg on bass guitar, and Aaron on drums and backing vocals, You can look for VIRUS. 9 causing Wide Spread Panic in a town near you!
