1.Quit your job, 2.Write songs, 3.Travel to South America, 4.Make a band – That’s what Indie outfit ‘TENSIXTIES’ decided to do…

Randomly ending up in Buenos Aires, they quickly caught on in local music scene, playing regularly with up and coming local bands. After 6 months of gigging within Argentina, the guys went on a mini tour of the States (ATL, AZ, NYC) recording some tracks with Scott Norton in Headgear studios (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Headgear_Studio). ‘Los’ TENSIXTIES are a ‘highly mobile collective’ of musician known for their up-tempo live performances, outfits, and cheap theatrics. They have released 3 EPs to date: “Alto voltage sessions”, “Swine flu hype” and “Five o’clock mate” a split EP with Argentine band Hyperknox (http://www NULL.hyperknox NULL.com NULL.ar). The guys are currently in the middle of recording their first LP and preparing an upcoming tour..

“TENSIXTIES have a refreshing and optimistic background, that correlates right alongside they’re material. Gibbs, an Englishman sick of doing things the UK way, travelled to Buenos Aires and formed the Indie group. For such an alternative undertaking of location and strain of marketability the 1060s are under, they’re product is extremely catchy and swift in winning your heart.” Ryan Daniel Wood, Wooden Words – Read the full article here (http://ryandanielwood NULL.wordpress NULL.com/2011/05/18/lets-go-songfari-new-musical-shoutouts-6/)

“No te pierdas a TENSIXTIES un grupo lleno de condimentos extras que se complementan a un sonido rico y atrevido. Desde el vamos es una propuesta atractiva ya que; en 2009 el inglés Gibbs se cansó de su trabajo como IT en Reino Unido y viajó a Sudamérica. Se enamora de Buenos Aires e instalado en San Telmo, retoma su pasión por la música y la composición” Marcelo Basaure, El Altillo Under – Read the full article here (http://elaltillounder NULL.co NULL.cc/the-1060s-tensixties-entrevista-exclusiva/)

“I don’t know what “John Was Wrong” is all about, but that opening bass riff, and then the stabbing synth lines speak to me in place of too many lyrics, and have had me hitting repeat just to hear he first minute of the song!” Constant Gardner, Pigeons and Planes – Read the full article here (http://pigeonsandplanes NULL.com/2011/08/the-tensixties-john-was-wrong NULL.html)

“Los TENSIXTIES anclaron en San Telmo, después de varios años de intensa búsqueda: “nuestra pasión en la vida es la música, no sabemos hacer otra cosa”. Y desde entonces, no hacen otra cosa que hacernos mover frenéticamente, en shows interactivos de extravagantes vestimentas y colorido maquillaje, donde el baile y la fiesta son los protagonistas principales. Bienvenidos a este nuevo rito de indie–rock-soul-electro.” Anita Catania, Conga Mag – Read the full article here (http://congamag NULL.com/2011/07/13/the-1060s_entrevista-por-anita-catania/)

“The undoubted gem of the EP is ‘Red Door’, the bar where some of the band members met. Everything about this track is so right, from the fast-paced drums, the quick alternation between main and backing vocals and the lyrics which tell the story of a fictional, Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship… This song is guaranteed to have you hitting the repeat button again and again” Anna Hill, Argentina Independent – Read the full article here (http://www NULL.argentinaindependent NULL.com/reviews/theconsumer/the-1060s-musical-history-in-the-making-/)

“Repasando sus temas, encontramos tintes claramente ochentosos, en cuanto a sonidos, efectos de voz y ciertos arreglos, así como también influencias de bandas de estos últimos tiempos, como The Killers. Con un bombo marcando en negra y un bajo constante nos llevan por este abanico musical que TENSIXTIES sabe explotar.” Germán Guarna – Rock.com.ar – Read the full article here (http://www NULL.rock NULL.com NULL.ar/blog/20119729/estos-son-los-1060s/)

¿Tus obras poseen vivencias personales o son hechos externos e imaginarios a tu vida diaria? Para componer me baso en la vida misma. En gente que quiero, sonidos, recuerdos. A veces la gente no se da cuenta de qué dicen las canciones, muchas de ellas tienen letras oscuras, pero como suenan tan upbeat, el concepto se torna difuso. Me gusta ese contraste…” Outsider.com – Read the full article here (http://www NULL.outsider NULL.com/news/the_1060s_tensixties-43)
