About Me

We are a 2-piece from London. We like mixing live guitars and drums with loops and samples. We like big riffs... We like beats... We like blues... We like to play loud and mix it together... A 2-piece rock'n'roll band that sound like Led Zeppelin remixed by LCD Soundsystem.

The PopJunkie Xmas party - Last gig of the year at Metro with Sixty Second Silence preview and review!!!
Here is a review of us at PopJunkie TV!!!...
"... Anyway, before it’s too late, get yourself down to Metro on December 23, to see one of our current favourite London bands play - indie electro blues duo Sixty Second Silence.
With influences as diverse as Pixies, The Cure, Led Zep, The Small Faces, Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem, they make a hell of a racket for a two-piece.
Just lately, they sound like The White Stripes and Second Coming-era Stone Roses jamming with New Order. Yup - told you they were good.
Sequencer lines and tight as f*** drumming collides with dirty blues guitar riffs, moody, retro keyboard sounds and ’80s overcoat misery. Earlier in the year, PopJunkie described them as:”Indie meets electro in a totally non-contrived way…just wicked little loops, rock ‘n’ roll guitars and banging drums”.
Pray silence, please."

Sixty Second Silence are our new tip for 2008/09. Someone out there could make a load of dosh from these. If you can imagine the Stone Roses reborn as great musicians and then you'd have this lot. The sounds they made was hypnotic and dancey but without losing sight of the tunes. by the time they went on, most of the crowd were hammered and loving every minute of it.

Threats, arguments and filming for a documentary at Club Criminal

We are a friendly bunch and like making friends but after waiting 3 hours to get a sound check we were asked to do just a 20 minute set which didn’t go down to well cause we packed the place out...
