Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Sleazy but wry, cowpunk / hard rock that has some similarities to bands like Nashville Pussy and The Cramps but is more tongue-in-cheek.

Know for their ferocious live shows, SixFtHick, portray their hometown, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as if it was a separate country, with co-lead singer Geoff Corbett playing the role of a parochial Boss Hogg. The other singer, his brother, Ben Corbett plays the role of a disturbed Iggy Pop with an emphasis on physical self abuse. The other members of the band, Tony Giacca on bass, Dan Baebler on guitar, FRED on drums deliver tight, tough non-verbal support.

Lion Nathan Brewers successfully sought an injunction against SixFtHick to stop them selling tshirts that featured the cartoon mascot of Queensland’s XXXX beer with the face of notorious Queensland premier Joh Bjelke Peterson imposed on it. The character was holding a shotgun and had the caption “Don’t Fuck With Queensland”. That tshirt and a groove-heavy pyschobilly sound are SixFtHick.

Released albums On The Rocks, Chicken, Lap Of Luxury and Canetrash. They have also released two EPs Cousins and Daddy’s Home.

Members of SixFtHick are in numerous other bands, most notably The Tremours and Gentle Ben and His Sensitive Side.

Pure genius!
