It was bound to happen. And now it has. It shouldn't come as any
surprise that the advancements of modern science have reached the
music world and the ramifications are only the tip of the iceberg.
What I am referring to is the world's first genetically engineered
band. This will give new meaning to the term musical genome. A result
of a highly secret project that goes back to the 60's, all of the
members of Buick 6 were chosen at birth from a process which starts
with in a highly intensive nationwide screening process of millions of
newborns. The simplest way to describe it is to say that each baby's
DNA was carefully studied; first for the musical gene, then for how
their musical genetic makeup then interacted with others. In other
words, looking for the perfect musical match. Consider the number of
possible combinations, which are almost infinite; the odds are
staggering that it would come down to these four individuals
collectively now called Buick 6. Yes, it seems preposterous- almost
Ray Bradbury like in its concoction. It stunning to think it could be
true.
And it isn't.
About as likely is that I own the Brooklyn Bridge and just put it up
on Ebay. My apologies if your leg feels pulled--all in good fun--which
was how this record was made. Far from being hatched in a petri dish
or under a microscope, this record was banged out in one week in an
exhiliarating burst of raw, improvisational creativity at ChessVolt studios in the
lovely San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. And yet, while
the above paragraph has not a shred of the truth, the point here is
that after you listen to this record you almost think it could be-
because the real chemistry between the four musicians is simply
undeniable. They hope you enjoy listening to it as much as they
enjoyed making it.
hey i seen you guys at the brown theatre in louisville awhile back and it was an amazing show, i have been to a quite few shows and festivals and heard some trippy and pyschadelic bands but you guys are just as rockin as them and aquatic hitchhiker puts me on cloud 9! it has an unreal feel and vibe that is just something you have to hear live otherwise you cant get the full experience! much love and peace out my friends
Your profile pic brings a smile to my face each time I see it. I love the humour. The Toronto concert the other week was great. Buick 6 and Lucinda are so smooth and comfortable with one another. It was a great pleasure to see and feel the performance.
Thanks for the add! Saw you guys @ the Lucinda show in Charlottesville, VA. Ya had me with the 1st song covering Radiohead. Twas a phenomenal performance! I gotta get your cd dammit! Peace and love.
Hey Buick 6, thanks for considering us worthy of your friendship. We'll try not to let you down. Please do visit our profile and comment about how we're doing. Read about recording in our blog!
FRIGGIN AWESOME SHOW IN LOUISVILLE!!!! Loved the energy! YOu guys put an effort into your shows that really comes across to the audience. We are def watching you guys to see what's next. We have always said that Lucinda Williams picks the cream of the crop to work and tour with and that proves true yet again!
buick six blew me away at the byron bay blues and roots so much soul backing lucinda williams .it was my highlight of the 5 days at the festival.what great band!!!!!!!!!!
I caught your show at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. I was an immediate fan. You guys did a terrific job backing Lucinda, and I wanted to hear even more of you at the front of the evening. I look forward to hearing more from Buick 6 in the future.
Saw you in Houston last weekend - you ROCK! Bought your CD the next night (for those of you looking go to www.lucindawilliams.com to buy it for $10 +s/h!!! sooo worth it!) got it just days later and have been jamming to it ever since. Would LOVE to be able to use some of your songs on my myspace playlist please! Would also love to buy a live jam session CD as it was HOT in Houston!! Apologies for the rude dude behind us that didn't appreciate your opening act. YOU ROCKED!!!!! And good to have you 'home' too Lucinda! ;o)
