Six Foot Sloth takes cables and attaches them to instruments. Then they plug the cables into amplifiers which, true to their name, amplify the sound of the instrument. It is at this time that they effect the instruments in such a way that sounds are produced. Naturally, the sounds are combined in a harmonic fashion, creating music.
****************************************************************
This music ranges from the sparse wanderings of an acoustic guitar and piano to the unrestrained romp of a full band stabbing, twisting, and turning in a dynamic cloud of sound. As if that weren't enough, clever lyrics are sung atop the thriving mass, making the sound not only harmonically pleasing but intellectually stimulating and, in some cases, just plain sexy.
*****************************************************************
Iam the curator of this sound called Six Foot Sloth. I have gathered friends from near and far and placed them inside the basement of creation, where they please me with their undulating rhythms. I have found joy in this realm of Sloth and wish to share this sound with the world.
****************************************************************
Help make this sound a reality for all people by contributing your gift of time, energy, and connections to the group who will be known as Six Foot Sloth.
****************************************************************
Singing-The Jed: Son of a Baptist preacher man. Montana raised and grain fed. A nature lover, song writer, and a carpenter, like Jesus.
****************************************************************
Bass- Amanda Mason Wiles: Daughter of crime. Boys want to kiss the soft supple lips of this bastion of the bass guitar.
****************************************************************
Guitar- Zac Stanley: What is this Child? How can I express the happiness and simultaneous sorrow I feel when this boy plays guitar? I can't.
****************************************************************
Keyboards- Adam Sullivan is a Bminor chord away from making me mess my pants right now. He's 50% hooks and 50% looks.
****************************************************************
Drums- Derek Lewin: Keeper of all time, but not Father Time
-it's his lady's kid. The best drummer yet, and we've seen a few.

No no that is not our stool! Our stool has four legs like a dog, not three legs like a....uh....a three legged dog! If I could I would post a picture of a three legged dog here but I don't know how but it doesn't matter because I don't have a picture of a three legged dog. But look to your left at the fine picture of what I assume is a four legged dog and you will start to get the idea of what our stool looks like. Very important: our stool does not have a wig!
All that I can say is wow... These songs are amazing, I have to run out at lunch and see if the local indie record shop has your stuff and if not, order it, immediately. Come East, NJ is in dire need of good, live music. Please, save us from cover bands and bad emo acts and bad metal bands and club music, please!
