About Me


Zoo poster created by DANIEL FORD (myspace.com/divorcefever)
HI
WE'RE BUICK SIX, A BAND FROM BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. OUR SOUND IS A FAMILIAR, YET UNIQUE BLEND OF ROCK, GARAGE AND BLUES.
ONE DAY, SOME ONE SAID SOMETHING NICE ABOUT US:
"A suitable Wednesday night Zoo crowd greeted the opening act Buick Six. They are a Brisbane trio in a garage rock vein, they sound like they’re drawing on proto-punk influences like MC5 and some 70’s hard rock guitar. Their set was energy-packed and hghly rocking and they put forward a very impressive performance. They had their own sound and lighting guy, who for some reason made the whole set overly loud, painful for the ears in some parts, but the lighting was incredible and for the most part the set sounded brilliant. Buick Six are a great band and have a solid future. A lot of Australian groups are doing this sound at the moment but Buick Six do it a lot better than the standard."
- fasterlouder.com.au (5/10/08)

WE LIKE TO THINK THAT THAT IS A FAIRLY ACCURATE SUMMARY OF BUICK SIX...
THIS YEAR WILL SEE US RELEASE SOME NEW TRACKS (SOON!), PLAY INTERSTATE WITH SOME GREAT BANDS AND WORK TOWARDS THE RELEASE OF OUR DEBUT LP (LATE 2009)... HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE CAN SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT US SOON! x
