Angels Are Falling: The 6Bit Interview
6Bit is Nails(vox/amalgam), Gimp (guitars) and Justin (drum abuse)
They've become one of the most played bands on The Genocydal Empyre v2.0 and many industrialites have fallen head over heels in love (or lust) with this band's sound. This small crew from Hurricane Rita-ravaged Abbeville have bared thier teeth and snarled at the world. It's a world of frustrations, venting anger, solemnity and an unapologetic middle finger to those who would oppose.
Their collective name is 6Bit and this machine is unstoppable.
They arrived on Sunday Night and we conducted a prerecorded interview, managing as best we could with the mics. Nails was the first to arrive at the steps. Tall, willowy and somewhat reserved, contrary to his musical persona, I was glad to finally meet him in person. There were five of them that arrived. Nails, Justin, their respective girlfriends and Gimp. We all piled into the bedroom that doubles as my studio and everyone got as comfy as they could, most of them piling onto the bed and Gimp preferring to stand.

My co-host, Rayne, didn't ask much during the interview. I found that of all the people doing the talking, it was mostly down to Justin and myself. We'd all agreed not to go live that night, instead we opted for the recording. Better hype that way and much better in terms of sound.
Giving The Salute
We talked about everything from their upcoming CD "First Period" to the legacy of abuse towards band members that have proven to be a hinderance. Anecdotes about the band's worst live disasters were shared and the interview had become more of a conversation.
Everyone's personality quirks were exploited in moments that were beyond hilarious. While the subject of Rita came up, we all made light of it by cracking jokes that included many sexually tilted remarks about Gimp's guitar being submerged in the floodwaters.
Justin had many wiseass remarks of his own to make and it only contributed to the intense humor that was flying at mach 9 and threatened to nearly never end. Gimp and Nails even took their shots here and there and each of the band members had gone into their own battles of wits with each other.
Gimp Showin His Ass
Quite contrary to the image they present, they're not hostile. They're not aggressive. They're just three fun-loving, laid-back guys from the swamps of Louisiana with their own brand of bayou magick melded into their music.
At the moment, I'm currently editing the long tracks to exclude the outtakes that won't be featured...ever but the interview/conversation went wonderfully and, next to the Fred Brito Interview, I still consider it one of my best thus far.
The photos you've seen dispersed throughout this entire blog were taken that night, and, as you can see...it was anything but "conventional."
6Bit is currently looking for serious bassists and keyboardists. Anyone wishing to apply, contact them. Anyone wishing to check out their music that's already available for free, contact them. You can get it all from here:
