Six60

As a band, Six60 originally formed in Dunedin in 2008. Inspired by the vibrant culture of soul, rock and bass-heavy electronica that defined late 2000s student life down south, they began jamming out at their infamous flat, 660 Castle Street. Pressured into recording a demo EP by friends and family, they sold their music online through their website and set up some fan pages on various online social networks.

Sitting at, prior to the release of their self-titled debut album, a locally unprecedented  75,000 plus fans on facebook, Six60 also have to their credit two platinum selling singles 'Rise Up 2.0' and 'Don't Forget Your Roots', and have toured nationally to sold out crowds for several years now, playing at consistently larger venues every cycle. Along the way they've scored prized timeslots at key summer festivals such as La De Da, Rhythm and Vines, Splore, Homegrown and Big Day Out, topped the commercial singles charts, and built a strong, robust audience on both sides of the Tasman.

Blending soul, rock, dubstep and drum and bass, their music is as dynamic, versatile and unexpected as their back story.

Extended singer/songwriter jams incorporate dubstep sections as bridges, hardrocking guitar-work duels with robust synthetics and thunderous low-end bass over vibrant percussive rhythms, and in both voice and instrumentation infectious melody consistently shines through.
