Genre: SWAMP ROCK Is it necessary to introduce the legendary Brisbane band Six Ft Hick? Maximum Rock'n'Roll meets Mad Max since 1995. Whether you first heard of the Hick as the road-ravaged visceral Australian band in ABC doco SixFtHick: Notes from the Underground, or through their 22-year assault on oz cities' greatest toilets du rock, you'll know they guarantee broken hearts and bleeding noses wherever they roam. With a live show as hot and sticky as Shitsville, Queensland itself, the Hick quickly found themselves sharing bills with The White Stripes, Rocket From the Crypt; The 5,6,7,8s; New York Dolls; Nashville Pussy; Link Wray; Fugazi; Boss Hog; Jesus Lizard; Reverend Horton Heat; Supersuckers; Southern Culture on the Skids; Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Hot Snakes and Andre Williams, as well as Australian simpatico acts like The Johnnys, Beasts of Bourbon and Cosmic Psychos. Through long time stables Spooky Records (Melbourne) and Beast Records (France) four albums and a slew of E.P's and 7"'s followed, filled with amphetamine addled swamp, Bukowski-battered odes to ruined marriages and the delights of high-balling through red light districts in every shitty one horse town.
