There are at least four bands and one dj with the name Norman: Norman is a band defined by its surroundings: the green, lush, and often soggy landscapes of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. An aesthetic layered with fields and farms, trees and hills, the valley is sandwiched between two mountain ranges and extends North to Portland, Oregon.

It was the Whit weekend 2007 in Saddleworth, England; two young men in their early 20s dressed in stolen sheep costumes decided to have a wrestle and the outcome - The 99s. The first month was spent writing a set, practicing and recording demos. James and Johnny instantly formed a good songwriting partnership and Adams van had three seats - it was perfect. MUTV hailed the band as their favourite act of 2008 as voted by the public, and the band were soon filmed playing a live session and interview at Manchester’s XFM with the legendary Clint Boon.
