Cashier No. 9

about

For several years now, Danny Todd has been an accessory to great music from Northern Ireland. A gifted guitarist, songwriter and producer, he has featured with Skint recording artists Alloy Mental, recently showcased on the Gran Turismo 5 soundtrack. He’s on the upcoming David Holmes album and he’s recorded with Corrigan, an act that combines the darkness of Johnny Cash with the angst of Samuel Beckett. Danny has lent his skill to a network of other artists from Belfast and beyond, an exciting community that’s on the rise. Happily though, Danny has now traded in his deputy badge to front his own music. To make ends meet as a teenager there was less inspiring work in a coffee shop, where he was appointed as Cashier No 5. That didn’t scan so well, but with a minor change, it provided an identity for the new band: Cashier No 9. Cashier No. 9 have made sporadic appearances in the past, but having expanded into a live act that includes life-long friends James Smith on guitar, Steven Quinn on drums and Stuart MacGowan on bass, and with a committed management team in place, it’s now emphatically their turn, the chance to reveal a clutch of songs that have been disgorging from Danny’s head into his laptop over the past year and a half. It’s also an opportunity for the listener to hear a bunch of influences that range from Captain Beefheart to T.Rex, by way of Syd Barrett, Paul Simon and Pavement. “I don’t want to pin myself down to one sound,” Danny modestly reckons.
