Six60 was the first band that caught my attention here in New Zealand. Their song "Don't Forget Your Roots" played around the clock on Kiwi radio stations. It's a cool, mellow song that has a slight blues feel to it - I loved it. Youtube gave me the chance to check out the rest of their album and I was hooked. I knew for sure their CD was coming back home with me.
But fate did me one better, because on Tuesday I got to see Six60 perform live at the Waihi Beach Hotel. It was my first Kiwi concert and it didn't disappoint. The band killed it and everyone was really into it. Some more than others. (Read: ALCOHOL)
Aside from the music, my favorite part of the night was watching random people climb up the metal beams that were holding up the tent. One dude made it all the way to the top (it's all in the core) and the ones who struggled were booed and had cans thrown at them. (Read: ALCOHOL). This must be a common occurrence because 1. No one stopped them and 2. Those poles didn't move.
There aren't any serious pictures, chief photographer Jen's camera malfunctioned and the bleary ones she took from her phone are not making it on this blog.
So instead, I've posted some youtube videos of Six60's songs: ENJOY!!
