Looking ahead – 2012

Posted by Six to Eight Mathematics on

Throughout this past year, the band has been privileged to be able to play some well-attended shows with good friends, ensuring great nights of music for all. We’ve also been fortunate to have made new friends with bands and organizations who share our ideals of playing music and having fun. We’re happy to be part of this local scene and appreciate all those who come out to enjoy it with us! Some still say that there is no local music scene, but we know different. The many bands who share the stage with us and the great people who come out to support us, make what we do fun and worth it! The reward comes from the satisfaction of a good show and great feedback, and we couldn’t be happier about that.

The New Year should see the local scene continue to thrive, and more and more people paying attention to what’s going on. Bands are bringing their music to listeners in new and innovative ways, and fans are finding it easier to discover and support new music. So we look forward to 2012 and being able to continue to rock the local stages with old friends and make new ones! Please follow us on this web site and all our social network pages, as well as our friends linked to us. Thanks everyone, let’s rock and continue to SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!!

Rocking out at Clash Bar

We’ve been fortunate to have the chance to make friends with certain bands who share the same ideals we do. It always makes for a great night of music. This was the case last Friday, Nov 18 at Clash Bar in Clifton, NJ. We were looking forward to this show since we haven’t played with Ingrid & The Defectors in a while. We’ve known them for years, and always had a blast doing shows with them, so we knew the gig would be fun. And it was! The crowd was incredibly supportive, and we gave it our all on stage to open the night! Ingrid followed us, and rocked it with their brand of garage/punk. We highly recommend picking up their new recording when it’s done.

Making the night even better was being introduced to the pheRamones, an all-female Ramones tribute band! Being a (mostly) female band, we support all female rockers, and these ladies rocked during their set! Not only a great band, but great people! We talked afterwards about doing more gigs together in the future, and we look forward to sharing the stage with them again soon! This is what happens when bands work TOGETHER to make the local scene strong!

Thanks to everyone who came to support, we had fun! See you all in 2012, and have a great Holiday Season!!

Oct 1 2011 Bar 46 – Wrapup

Bar 46 10-01-11
A rare shot of all of us smiling

There are certain shows we look forward to playing just a little bit more than usual. This was the case for Oct 1, 2011 at Bar 46 in Hackettstown, NJ. It was a bill put together by our good friends in the band Fury Within, who have always been good to us. Also on the bill were A Crowd of One, a good band we’ve played with before, and our very good friends The Heshers, a band we have a great history with. All this plus a venue whose patrons and staff have always appreciated us and made us feel right at home, even though it’s an hour away from our home base. We knew going in it would be the kind of night where everything would just fall into place, no egos and zero drama. It turned out exactly like that, but even better!

With an old friend behind the board providing great sound, each band played with energy and enthusiasm spurred on by the strong unity between the musicians that night. This coupled with an extremely receptive crowd made for a great night of music, almost a rarity on the local scene these days. What this proves is that nights like this CAN happen more often, provided bands these days work together to build and strengthen our local scene. When this happens, we all succeed.

Thanks to Fury Within, The Heshers, and Crowd of One for great sets and Bar 46 for providing a great space for local original music. Most of all thanks to everyone that showed up to support! Until next time,
