6gig AND C60 WITH SPECIAL GUEST PHLUX TO PERFORM AT UMM

6gig and C60 with special guest, Phlux will perform February 10, 2001 at 8:00 p.m. at UMM's PAC. Tickets
are $5 for the general public and the doors will open at 8:00 p.m. The concert is sponsored by UMM's
Student Activities Board.
6gig had been together for less than 5–months when Los Angeles-based label Ultimatum Music caught
wind of the band. The label arranged for them to perform in front of tens of thousands of Goo Goo Dolls fans
at a show in South Carolina. The reaction 6gig received was phenomenal.
Ultimatum Music quickly signed 6gig in April 2000. Just one listen to the remarkable album Tincan
Experiment makes it clear that this rookie quartet is indeed destined for acclaim far beyond their native
New England soil. The band credits the diverse music scene and supportive atmosphere of Portland, Me.
as an important part of 6gig’s genesis.
"Portland actually has a very cool scene with lots of bands and clubs that support live music. We were all
in different bands when we first met. I happened to be in one of the same rehearsal spaces as our guitar
player Steve. I stopped in one night and Steve was jamming with Weave (bass) and Dave (drums). Things
clicked right away for all of us. Steve and I have very different guitar styles and influences, but when we
play together, it just seems to mesh," says band frontman, Walt Craven.
Boston-based hard rock band Cobalt 60 originally came together in 1994, and developed a big following in
clubs up and down New England. They won WBCN’s famed Boston Rumble in 1995. They eventually parted
ways after touring in Spain and The Netherlands. A sell-out Cobalt 60 reunion show ("…just for fun…") in
August 1999 prompted an offer from Monolyth Records to record an album and they were back. C60
combine bone crunching guitar riffs with strong melodic hooks that will leave you
screaming for more.
Joining 6gig and C60 as their special guest will be Washington County’s own Phlux. Phlux is a three-piece
rock band with strong roots in Washington County made up of brothers Clint and Cody Phipps and drummer
Greg "Stu" Angus.
The doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets for the general public are $5 each.
For more information or to reserve tickets call (207) 255-1245.
