INDIE BAND OF THE WEEK: THE SIXXIS
The name, The Sixxis, was born when the Atlanta ensemble began creating music together as a band on June 6th of 2006. Starting off initially as a college band, The Sixxis has gone through both lineup changes and style experimentation, until reaching what they are currently today. The Sixxis music merges progressive rock with different influences that each member has, for example: blues, jazz, funk, gospel - altogether making their sound unique, bringing the listeners original and powerful songs with a distinctive vocal style, amazing guitar riffs and emotional lyrics.
