Flathead 6

About Me

Flathead 6 is a classic American band delving deep into the roots/rock of Americana with just enough twang to keep them teetering on the edge of country. Drawing influence from The Rolling Stones, Steve Earl and Wilco, the band's sound has been said to have a retro vibe in a fresh package. From the roadhouse romp of "Bad Spell" to the yesteryear sound of "Radio Days (Hey Mama)" and the driving rock of "Hands Down", the sound of American blues and southern twang are thick in the rock and roll music of Flathead 6. The band has shared the stage with: Webb Wilder, Reverend Horton Heat, Savoy Brown, Jason & The Scorchers, Cheap Trick and many others. Their first CD is now available on the 99man label.
