unZined - The Six Thirties

unZined is back continuing to promote local music in the North West. An offshoot of Little Indie Night, a night aimed at hosting what is becoming one of the best live music events in the Northwest, Halton Homegrown has been given free run to find local talent find out a bit more about what makes them tick and spread the word around. 

Local bands/artists with serious talent are sprouting fast around the area as we speak and Halton Homegrown's mission to make you aware of them and also encourage others to follow their lead.

A relatively new band from Widnes, indie band The Six Thirties formed 18 months ago and are raring to perform for the masses in the North West. They already have upcoming gigs, one of them at the well renowned Zanzibar in Liverpool. They don't do things by halves and by aiming big and far afield they are sure to be well known in no time.

From listening to their song Annoymous and Midlife Crisis, their sound is plentiful in riffage and up tempo drums. The clean guitar sound is very reminiscent of late 80s - 90s indie rock/pop at its best. The Housemartins spring to mind when listening to them as being a sound-a-like. Midlife Crisis is my fave so far, as it its upbeat and will surely enough get any crowd dancing at their gigs. If they keep up the vibe they have started off with in their future gigs they'll go far.

I posed a few questions to them, and bassist Peter took some time to answer the questions as best as he could, on behalf of the band, to give us an insight as to what makes the band tick. Check out his answers below.

Stoned Love




.... This Friday I am playing some records at The Little Indie Night at The Cellar Bar on City RD in #Chester ... 20 years to the day that I walked into a record shop in Manchester and bought it. 

Expect some Stone Roses ? .... Aye !!! 

Released on Dec 5th 1994, The Second Coming came five years after that album that requires no introduction whatsoever and is arguably one of the best indie albums of all time. 

The Second Coming is the one release though thats missing from my friends mahoosive Stone Roses vinyl collection? ( not that he doesn't like it .. he's seen them play live more than anyone I know, travelling worldwide on the Roses party bus ... he has it on multiple other formats it's just the album took a bit of a back seat ) The whole shabboo surrounding the roses was going around & around & around & around & around for donkeys and still is. We love them though and cant wait for the next release. Anytime soon ?

Five years is a long time in music or anything and especially if your wrapped up in legal battles concerning what you love doing surely stuff around you is going to simmer down a tad and piss the band off ?  I hear things like ... 'It wasn't as good as their first' & 'underrated',  but I for one went out and bought it as soon as I could on release date. Never had it off the record player for yonks. I was working in Manchester that day & its been going round and round ever since .......... 'from the top' ... back to the top ..........

Was thinking of this last night when playing tunes on the radio.

Played some of these , some never got around to. Opted for a few tunes I've not heard for a fair few years.

Gotham would dig ... maybe ?
