This week's feature artist is... Sixth Avenue!
Located in the northern suburbs of Perth, WA, Joel, Kenji, Cody and Daniel make up indie punk four piece 'Sixth Avenue'. Likened to acts such as 'Slowly Slowly' and 'Sly Withers', Sixth Avenue are part indie, part emo, a mix that has hit a nerve as audiences fall for their frenetic live show.
Since releasing their debut EP 'So Temperamental', the boys have kept busy playing consistent shows in and around Perth supporting punk legends ‘Yours Truly’, 'Late 90s' and ‘Pot Plant House Party’, also knocking off headline shows at the Indian Ocean Hotel, Amplifier Bar and Rosemount Hotel. In May 2022, the boys played an opening spot at the annual festival 'Sidefest', a three day event put on by manager and promoter Simon 'Skinny' O'Leary (Sly Withers, Old Mervs) feat uring nationally acclaimed artists Sly Withers, Ruby Fields, Beddy Rays and many more.
The band has just released a new single and music video for the track titled 'Sometimes I Get High, And Think About You’, produced by Matt Templeman (Birds of Tokyo, Sly Withers) and video directed by James Kilian (Shangrila, Idle Eyes). Previous singles ‘Lost’, 'Satellite' and 'You're Wasting Your Time' have received airplay on shows 'Home and Hosed' and 'short fast loud' on triple j, accrued a total of 30,000 streams on Spot ify and have reached a peak position of #3 on the triple j unearthed charts. The band is now currently gearing up for their sophomore EP release due early 2023, backed with a new live set on display, in which the final single, ‘Bleach’ is an explosive track with an infectious punk rock energy, paired by the intricate lyricism which has grown to become the band’s trademark.
