It took something special to knock Adele off her perch after a 26 week run at the top of the New Zealand album charts, and that special thing was the self-titled debut album by Six60. Within a week the album was Gold and the group – who formed in the infamous student flat at 660 Castle Street Dunedin that gave them their name just three years ago – were firmly established as not just one of the most exciting young bands in New Zealand but one ready to rumble with the best of them, bringing Tiki Taane in to produce their debut. 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, hard rocking 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. If you like your New Zealand dub stepped up a notch away from the bbq end and you are one of the few not to have joined Six60’s Rise Up revolution, don’t wait a moment more, the party starts at this year’s Big Day Out.
