Shri Gurudev Mahendranath (1911–1991) used the number 999 as a nickname, possibly in tribute to his friend Aleister Crowley, who used the number 666 in a similar manner.
Interest in the band was immediate and constant gigging around London brought with it critical acclaim and a hard core following of supporters from Southall, calling themselves The Crew.
Early 1979 saw the band embarking on their first US tour, which was an achievement in itself as they were still without a record deal in America at the time.
Response to the band was ecstatic with all the venues being filled and import albums being sold in a rush of enthusiasm.
