SK6ERS JUNE NEWSLETTER
Ohhh, Canadaahhh! The Sixers have brushed off the mighty maple leaves and returned to the US of A.
FALL TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT:
And speaking of the US of A, we are going to be celebrating our five year anniversary this fall with a national tour. Details will be announced soon for our "Celebrating 5 Years" tour, keep in touch with us, and come join the party this fall.
CAN'T WAIT! SUMMER DATES:
If you can't wait till September, we will be rocking VA this weekend with our friends in Toad The Wet Sprocket. We will also have our own show in Roanoke on Saturday. For all you travelers and festival-goers, we have some festival dates in CO, IL, WY and PA this summer. Information on all these dates as well as how to get tickets can be found below.
HEADCOUNT:
This fall, we will be working with a nonprofit organization called HeadCount, registering voters and raising political consciousness. We encourage all our fans to Register to Vote and get involved by volunteering for HeadCount. To Register to Vote, volunteer, or learn more, please visit HeadCount here .
NEW JAMS ON THE WAY:
Lest you think we could ever be afflicted with writer's block- fear not. We have been working on a boat load of new material, and will begin work on our new album this summer. Slow down? Never.
Keep your hands to yourself, get your head out of the clouds, and tell 'em The Sixers said so.
Cousin Jessica for Team SK6ERS.
SK6ERS MAY NEWSLETTER
Hello New Friends and Old Alike.
So we're about 5 weeks deep into our tour with Hanson, four nights to go. It has been an incredible experience from playing AC/DC tunes together (can I get an amen for 80's metal) to playing pin the tail on the donkey for birthdays (we call it rock n' roll regression- the need to act like a kid all the time while touring). We're down South now with two headline shows at the end of this week (Charlotte, NC & Atlanta, GA), before we head off to the logical next tour for us to be on...George Thorogood and the Destroyers in CANADA! You heard right, it's our first international tour and we'll be out supporting blues legend GT. "Sixers Vs. Destroyers" sounds like a Hockey Team. Look for me, the goose and boots driving our Van across the frozen tundra in search of Canadian Bacon. As always thank you for all the support.
See you later, See you Soon.
SK
P.S For those of you looking for our beloved Kyle, he is on Broadway in NYC playing the lead in "Spring Awakening". We look forward to playing again when he's done acting like a crazy sex crazed german teenager in front of people (-=

SK6ERS APRIL NEWSLETTER
We have Spring fever, and the only cure is a tour with Hanson! Our first dose of Hanson medicine is April 9th in La Crosse, WI. We have a sweet 6 pack of headline dates to get us out there. Things kick off tommorow in New Haven, CT and we hope you'll join us on our last tour with Kyle Riabko before he starts his stint on Broadway (not even kidding). All details on these shows are at the bottom of this love note.
Speaking of young master Kyle, he is trying to get in touch with his childhood celeb crush Amanda Bynes. Help him out and enter to win one of his guitars on songforamanda.com. Is it stalking? You be the judge.
Now, we are going to go pack for tour. It's a new season and we've got some new songs on the way...and remember, support SK6ERS, support the troops and support each other.
xoxo
