About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I use this MySpace page to:
1. To discover new music and to spread the word of great music that's not being heard... there's so much out there. People need to lose the blinkers and look beyond whats being marketed at them.
2....And to spread the word of a band I'm fanatical about - SIX.BY SEVEN . They're a band who haven't recieved the recognition they deserve, even though their first single 'European Me' was described as "one of the greatest debut singles of all time".
The late great JOHN PEEL championed SIX.BY SEVEN! So much so he had them on the show for 5 separate Peel sessions.
Six By Seven split up over two years ago, and everybody thought that it was the end of them for good...SIX.BY SEVEN have since reformed with their original lineup of Chris Olley, Sam Hempton, James Flower and Chris Davis! Pete Stevenson joins the fold on bass.
A new album has just been released as well as a Best Of cd/dvd.
GIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
six.byseven will be appearing at quite a few festivals this summer including Glastonbury. There will be more news on this to follow....
The SIX.BY SEVEN Best Of CD/DVD, 'Any Colour So long As it's Black' is out now!
The new SIX.BY SEVEN Album, 'If Symptoms Persist, Kill Your Doctor' is out now and limited to 1000 copies...
Have a listen to some of their songs here on my music player.
Take a few moments to check them out and add yourself to their mailing list: www.sixbyseven.co.uk .

The new download-only album by Chris Olley's Twelve is out now! - 'Houston We Have No Problem'
Also available is Twelve:03
This is a great record, sweeping, beautiful, loops, melodies, and soundtracks.
The album is limited to 500 copies.

This is a classic record and is every bit as good, if not better than anything by the Krautrock greats. It takes the ideas of Krautrock and improves upon them.
"soundtracks and heartbeats in space".
Both albums and more are available in the online shop here: www.sixbyseven.co.uk/six-by-seven-shop.php www.myspace.com/twelvemusic

fuck me USA
“more guns than goodfellas, more cocaine than scarface”
fuck me USA was started in February 2006 (after Chris Olley from Six by Seven went touring with Julian Cope) as a concept, a group designed as an idea: everything, from the lyrics, the notes, the artwork, the instruments and the press shots needed to be in place before a single note was played. What followed was twisted film noir storylines over a 150BPM beat, sung in a style not dissimilar to Alan Vega's from '77’s New York punk scene.
Live, fuck me USA, made their debut at the 2006 Glade Festival. A two-piece, in the same tradition as the pet shop boys and suicide, the two performers are the yin and yang, the shock and awe, of their own American dream. On one side of the stage a vocalist, in peaked cap and black leather, buckled and studded, clutching a microphone in one hand and an American flag in the other, moaning and pleading like a femme fatal who's met her match. On the other side a keyboard player, trailer park red neck, mid western trash, staring out at a disbelieving audience.
fuck me USA hails from the middle of England, the Upper East Side of the Midlands and sounds like Alan Vega, Sigue Sigue Sputnik's 'Flaunt It', and Underworld layered with Velvet Underground guitars.
fuck me USA features six.byseven members Chris Olley and James Flower.
fuck me USA sounds like an electronic version of six.byseven with a dash of spaceman 3 and the velvet underground jamming with Underworld and Iggy Pop in an Amsterdam night club.

Spotlight Kid
Born out of frustration, born out of bad luck or just fate? Chris Davis conceived Spotlight Kid in late 2005. His former band Six By Seven had reached a cross roads and it was time to take a new route and go it alone, well almost...
Having already written an arsenal of new songs, Chris Davis asked long time friend and singer Katty Heath if she would like to join the ride and see what happens. Having fulfilled her commitments with her former band Bent, she agreed and Spotlight Kid began.
Six months and eleven songs later and the finished album has landed.
46 minutes of beautiful epic music that fills your soul with fire, shifting through the hazy drone rock of Spacemen 3 and the velvets through to the uplifting beauty of Lush, MBV and Swervedriver, cutting a glance in the right direction to the great moments of shoegaze, krautrock and 90s psychedelia.
Former Six By Seven members Sam Hempton and James Flower also make a welcome appearance on the album, amongst other friends who chipped in. At the core though is Chris Davis, who always had a clear image of how the record should turn out

The album,Departure, is available now in all good record shops.
