@loughnan: I have no problem with your perception of the music. It's not my job to convince you otherwise. However, I think calling something 'retarded' & 'misguided' is indeed personal. Just cos it's in the public domain does not mean open season for abuse, as nicely exampled by odoggmofo.

Please, state your opinion but I encourage you to not weaken your argument by resting on base character assassinations.

@odoggmofo: If I meant shit I would have said shit.

I have removed the posts from this vid as I am not interested in this site being used for personal abuse of any sort. Purely personal and abusive comments will be removed.

This decision has nothing to do with any of the members in these clips.

The point of this site is to provide a space to present some of the more adventurous music performed at FREDS.

Not a space for anonymous keyboard warriors to show of their bravery.

Wtf is this? I don't even like Six60 but this 'music' is ridiculous. Simon, stop talking out of your arse. THIS is what's wrong with music - artiste wankoff poseur sessions with no cohesion or sense of basic melody. GTFO off your music journo pedestal and actually create a song.

Tosser.

[JonoNZ021]

and Simon you have a problem with Six60 and co? This is the worst thing I've ever heard.

this is shit

Lol..for the first minute I thought they were tuning up, then I read the comments! :D So this is New Zealand Jazz! They have some pretty cool grooves going on in there...somewhere.

A 'destruction' of folk is not adventurous. NOT ENOUGH SPACE. Tell your banjo player he's not Derek Bailey.

Thumbs up if Amanda Palmer sent you here

[DuckmanProductions1]

Wow....do you even have ears? Im sorry to be so harsh....but you are a music critic and rip out other bands....and you think this is good? Wow....just wow. No.

[NarwhalsArePimps]

About half of the music I listen to could be considered "pretentious hipster unlistenable experimental wank". Some of my favourite bands consist of abstract, atonal, noisy, scratchy, lo-fi, ambient walls of sound.

And I still think this is tripe.

[ChesterJSellars]

What the actual fucktits. And this guy experimenting with percussion talked shit about Amanda Palmer? Okay then...

[dotpivotal]

Read the review of six60 and couldn't agree more. Then I came here and I really hoped to like it... Sorry man it's fucking terrible.

Now the acid is really kickin' in! aaaahhhh

[MrBastardize]

Open your minds dudes and dude-esses! it's experi-mental dude and I like to smoke pot and take lashings of acid and listen to this. Don't bring me down you Six60 bangers. Don't put a cap in my ass mofo or I'll do a drive-by and buy some fried chicken.
