the "fun boys" of 6 feet 10
Marc: 5 string electric bass
With a bass in his hands since some time in 1996, Marc has constantly been striving for the perfect groove. Marc loves the groove. Gospel, Motown, Mayer, Funk, Soul..he loves it. The an utterly unreal musical creativeness Marc has helped fuel and take over on many musical fronts as a rock-solid bassman provides the unrelenting bottom needed to make all the tunes in 6 feet 10 take off.
BEST KNOWN FOR: Assuming the John Entwhistle stage position, ripping on his 5 sting bass; So damn cool.
FAVORITE PASS TIME: TBA... (playing bass, watching movies? Marc's world remains a mysetery)
IN THE CD PLAYER: Various Gospel Compilations, Fred Hammond, Yolanda Adams, Destiny's Child, JT, Xtina, John Mayer, Al Greene.
Nick: vocals and guitar
Known by some as a drummer and my others as a guitarist Nick fronts up 6feet10 with the excitement and fervor of a 6 year old.. though he actually is 10 (subliminal.. we think so).
Nick heads this trio of professional musicians with a laid back go-get-em attitude with a sense of urgency... this urgency: to show the world what makes him tick and to let them get their boogie on!
BEST KNOWN FOR: Wishing he was Sting or Vinnie. Wishing he was John Mayer. Happy being himself. Tony Cliffton impersonations, Bro impersonations. Carries the dreaded foot in mouth disease
FAVORITE PASS TIME: Walking around signing in a high-operatic-falsetto tone. Movies, Irish Pubs and of course MUSIC.
IN THE CD PLAYER: John Mayer Heavier Things and Room For Squares; Counting Crows AAEA, Steely Dan Aja, Sting Ten Summoners' Tales, Blink 182, The Police Every Breath You Take the classics, Wayne Shorter JuJu, Jusin Timberlake Justified, Supertramp Crime of the Century, DMB Crash and Busted Stuff. Led Zeppelin.
Dusty: drums and backup vocals
Ripping it on the drums, this busy man has helped conceive and develop many of the grooves in the repertoire and has taken his role of falsetto backgrounds to the next level.
BEST KNOWN FOR: Whipping out the sweeeeeet Licks and bringing that sexual machismo to the forefront of drumming. That's not sweat you're smelling its testosterone.
LIKES: Intimate Walks on a starry night. Frappecinos with ice. Freshly Picked Roses. Drumsticks.. The soft kind. Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Rocking all Night Long.
DISLIKES: Jailhouse Showers, Shit Music, Butch Women.. unless they put out, "what the kinds are into..."
IN THE CD PLAYER: Yellowcard, The Used, The Roots (all), the jazz, the lots of other things.
history
One day in 1982 Nick was born and he knew he wanted to be a rock star. In 2002 He invited his friends from previous bands and from Vanier College to join his band which he intended to be made up of two guitars one drummer and a bass. After losing out on a guitarist from the select list of two, 6 feet 10 became a trio. In April 2002 the boys got together and jammed the songs from nicks home made 4-track demo of 12 songs, to which many newer, better songs have been added. The connection was made, and a new sound was born.. get ready to crap your pants!
the name
If you like Sting as much as these guys you can figure it out.
