Elevensixes were born in Sept/Oct 2004 and lasted to 2007.
Diane had been writing songs for years and thought the time was right to unleash them on an unsuspecting public! The first intention was to have 2 guitarists, a bassist, a drummer and a singer. Mark and Diane both played guitar and none of them were keen on fronting a band. However, as time spun by, Elevensixes changed formation! Mark ditched the guitar and picked up a bass and Diane became accustomed to singing. All that remained was to find a drummer. This of course, is easier said than done. We auditioned one drummer but it was not to be. We then acquired the services of Mark's friend Andy as a temporary measure until he returned to London for Uni. As we have picked up more gigs, we have used the services of both German Dave and Jim (MacDuff) McDonald for certain gigs/jam sessions. It is Jim's drumming techniques that you can hear on the MP3's.
Elevensixes have now disbanded as Diane awaits the arrival of her first baby.
