THE 4th ALBUM
After three successful albums, 'Vagabonds' is the new T-99 record. It contains 13 original tracks treated with the well-known T-99 formula: a blend of rootsy, rockin' and bluesy elements, flavoured with some exotic melodies. This new album by T-99 lures the listener inside a musical sideshow where geeks, freaks, fire eaters and human cannonballs hold sway. The band signed for production themselves and the album has been released by their old habitat, the label Cool Buzz.
FORMER ALBUMS
With the release of the album "Coo-Coo" in 2001, T-99 introduced itself as being the most promising new band in the Benelux blues and roots scene. After a few member changes in 2003 the band released another album in 2004 titled "Strange Things Happen". Partly recorded in Amsterdam and Tucson, Arizona it has guest appearances of Teddy Morgan (also production) and Dave Gonzales of The Paladins. The third album "Cherrystone Park" which was released late 2005 showed besides more catchy songs also a psychedelic side of T-99 that lead them to an even larger audience.
HISTORY
Through the years T-99 showed itself as being a constant factor on (pop) festivals and stages across Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Great Britain and the US. In its existence the band has played among others at Noorderslag, North Sea Jazz Festival, Waterpop, Popkomm (DE), Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival (Peer, BE), Oerol, De Parade, Noorderzon, and Eurosonic. The band also functioned as successful support for Chuck Berry, Dr. John, Los Lobos and Little Feat. Music by T-99 is being used in several TV-shows and programs like NOS Studio Sport, Keuringdienst van Waarde and AT-5 and the trio has done several performances on national Radio and TV. In May 2008 the band was invited by radio DJ Mark Lamarr to make exclusive recordings at the London BBC studio's for the popular radio show 'God's Jukebox'.
OOR Magazine: "...most exciting and renewing roots band in the Netherlands and far beyond..."

Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară
Ratata, ratata, ratata
Iubirea ta imi lasa semne
Acum apari acum dispari
Cum e sa nu ma mai ai?
Am incetat sa imi fac filme
Dar stii ca am multe deja
Se spune ca pasiunea trece
La mine a ramas cumva
Sun la S.O.S.
Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară
Ratata, ratata, ratata
Dansul tau intens
Que sera sera
Sun la S.O.S.
Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară
Ratata, ratata, ratata
Dansul tau intens
Que sera sera
Tu voiai doar sa ma ai
Cred ca de asta nu m-ai iubit
Pentru ce stiam in pat
Tu te enamoraste de mi
M-ai lasat cu amintiri din care
nu mi-am revenit
No me conocíste yo a ti
Ai plecat si te-ai intors
fara sa zici salut pa pa
M-ai lasat cumva pe jos
chiar daca sunt deasupra ta
Si acuma viata mea-i pe dos
nu te cunosc esti cineva
Totu e misterios
Si vreau sa sun la
Sun la S.O.S.
Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară
Ratata, ratata, ratata
Dansul tau intens
Que sera sera
Sun la S.O.S.
Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară
Ratata, ratata, ratata
Dansul tau intens
Que sera sera
Suna SOS, sunt pe DND nu vad apel, vorbim din mers
Si poate imi lipsesti dar nu te sun ca fapt divers
Sau suna-ma tu cand esti singura si ai chef de s…
Hai las-o asa nu mai conteaza ce am zis
Conteaza doar ce vrei vino ca-ti fac viata de vis
Te invarti in capu meu de zici ca esti piesa pe disc
Hai zi-mi daca se merita sa stiu daca ma risc
Sun la S.O.S.
Puls aritmic
Cand te vad otra vez
Chiar de ma omoară

The lyrics to T-99's song "Sun" describe a turbulent and passionate relationship that has left the singer with emotional scars. The title "Sun" is a reference to the song's chorus, where the singer calls out for help by sounding an S.O.S. signal. The pulsing rhythm of the song creates a sense of urgency, reflecting the singer's emotional distress.
The first verse of the song explores the pain of unrequited love and the confusion that comes with mixed signals. The second verse delves into the aftermath of a failed relationship and the lingering feeling of attachment to the person who caused the pain. The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's desperation for help and the intense emotions that come with love and heartbreak.
The lyrics also make use of Spanish phrases, such as "otra vez" meaning "once again," and "que sera sera" meaning "whatever will be, will be." These phrases add to the emotional depth and complexity of the song.
Overall, "Sun" is a powerful and introspective look at the highs and lows of romantic relationships, and the emotional toll they can take on a person.

Acum apari acum dispari
Now you're here, now you're gone - inconsistent and unpredictable
Cum e sa ai inima rece?
What's it like to have a cold heart? To be immune to the pain and passion of love?
Cum e sa nu ma mai ai?
What's it like to not have me anymore? To move on and leave me behind?
Am incetat sa imi fac filme
I've stopped dreaming and fantasizing about a future with you
Dar stii ca am multe deja
But you know that I have many memories and feelings already
Se spune ca pasiunea trece
They say that passion fades over time
La mine a ramas cumva
But for me, it's still there in some way - the love and pain linger
Tu voiai doar sa ma ai
You just wanted to have me, to possess me and control me
Cred ca de asta nu m-ai iubit
I think that's why you didn't truly love me - it was just a game to you
Pentru ce stiam in pat
For what I knew in bed - our physical connection was the only thing that mattered
Tu te enamoraste de mi
You fell in love with me, but only for a moment or a season
M-ai lasat cu amintiri din care nu mi-am revenit
You left me with memories that I can't recover from - scars and wounds that won't heal
No me conocíste yo a ti
You didn't truly know me, even though you thought you did
Ai plecat si te-ai intors
You left and came back, adding to the confusion and turmoil
fara sa zici salut pa pa
Without even saying goodbye or farewell
M-ai lasat cumva pe jos
You left me behind, abandoned and alone
chiar daca sunt deasupra ta
Even though I may have had the upper hand at one point
Si acuma viata mea-i pe dos
And now my life is turned upside down
nu te cunosc esti cineva
I don't know you anymore, you're a stranger to me now
Totu e misterios
Everything is mysterious and uncertain
Suna SOS, sunt pe DND nu vad apel, vorbim din mers
Call out for help, I'm on Do Not Disturb and can't see your calls - let's talk on the move
Si poate imi lipsesti dar nu te sun ca fapt divers
And maybe I miss you, but I don't call you just for the sake of it
Sau suna-ma tu cand esti singura si ai chef de s…
Or you can call me when you're lonely and in the mood
Hai las-o asa nu mai conteaza ce am zis
Let's just leave it like this, it doesn't matter what we've said
Conteaza doar ce vrei vino ca-ti fac viata de vis
What matters is what you want - come to me and I'll make your life a dream
Te invarti in capu meu de zici ca esti piesa pe disc
You're always spinning around in my head, like a song on repeat
Hai zi-mi daca se merita sa stiu daca ma risc
Come on, tell me if it's worth it - if I should take the risk
