"If a recording of two improvising horns in fug-mind gut interplay is not jazz then the form is dead. We say it is more alive than anyone in moldy fig land will ever know at this point. SLITHER is excellent reed street waste. Today’s jazz for today’s playboys." [Thurston Moore / Sonic Youth]

Little is known about Bay Areas SIXES with limited releases, cryptic interviews, and next to no documentation. Nothing but a bloodied trail of live miasma can peice together a 15+yr hellish trainwreck. Dating back somewhere around the late 80's under the nom de guerre, AZOG, years of venomous scum electronics thrust upon the west coast underground denizen were greeted with aversion. Most notably in San Diego, where SIXES' lineage can be traced back to an early incarnation of avaunt-doom act Physics & rhythm / noise assault outfit CRASH WORSHIP through the 90's. Organ, guitar, horns, tapes, homemade circuits served as vehicle in exploring nothing but total sonic hate while melting heads with walls of amplifiers.
