专辑简介
Who is AM60?
If you're American and you haven't heard of Chris Root and A.M. Sixty, don't worry. You didn't miss the boat, it's just that the boat has been busy traveling the world.
Chris Root's band A.M. Sixty was born when major labels here were awfully shaky. Chris, determined for his baby not to be listed among the casualties of the seismic stateside shifts, sent A.M. Sixty's demo across the pond and signed with a tiny label in the UK. It was a small deal that made big noise. Both singles from A.M. Sixty UK release were picks of the week on BBC Radio One, both singles charted and A.M. Sixty was invited to record live sessions for the immortal Beeb DJ, John Peel. Sir Peel was not the only spinner smitten. In fact, DJs across the Kingdom rallied around A.M. Sixty and Chris found himself and the band twirling through heavy rotation and a European tour. Next stop, the Empire of the Sun.
A.M. Sixty's record was released in Japan and they opened for Dreams Come True on a stadium tour playing to crowds upwards of 50,000 a night. There was just one problem. Mosquitos, a band that Chris started in his spare time (sitting in airports maybe?) got signed to Bar None in New York. Again, the little engine could and did. Mosquitos toured for a year selling out small rooms and playing with the likes of Air, B-52's, Sugar Ray, and even the Doobie Brothers. While Chris was touring with the Mosquitos, A.M. Sixty's record just wouldn't behave. Tracks from the record found their way into commercials in the US and Europe, the soundtrack of MTV's The Real World, independent films, and the list goes on. All this without having been released in the US. Now of course Chris was happy his baby was making money, but what he really wanted for A.M. Sixty was new friends here in America. He wanted a U.S. release so that folks here could get behind the music that has already translated into smiles between headphones all over the globe.
Well, A.M. Sixty's day has come. On October 12, 2004 V2 Records will release A.M. Sixty's Big As The Sky. Chris and the band really and finally feel at home with V2. Root says, "We like the people there and the work they have done for their bands." When asked about the success of A.M. Sixty abroad, Chris said simply, "We make music inspired by sunshine, the beach, love, heartache, and other good music. Everybody gets that. We're just glad people here can get it now."
Coinciding with their record release, A.M. Sixty will debut on MTV's "You Hear it First" on October 12th. They will be touring the East Coast in October and plan a full US tour in the New Year.
