ANOTHER bright young Warrington band is taking venues across the North West by storm with performances that have earned them gigs in London, Las Vegas and Spain.
Self described electro psychedelic rock group, The 66, have earned rave reviews from music critics, from the Manchester music scene in particular, after a string of popular performances in the city last year.
Now vocalist Daniel Rimmer, lead guitarist Mike Bee, bass guitarist Craig Harman, keyboard player Paul Glover and drummer Ian Wilson, have their sights firmly set on conquering the UK and even foreign shores.
Their biggest up-and-coming gig is a performance at Maps Festival May, but at the end of April, The 66 will perform in Warrington with a specially invited band from New York.
It’s off to Spain for the South by South Coast gig in June, before entering the winter months with a trip to Las Vegas in November for a House of Blues solo slot.
This has been somewhat of a meteoric rise to prominence for the band who only formed in August and whose influences include Sex Pistols, Oasis, Primal Scream and Pink Floyd, to give them a distinctive sound that has seen them build up a substantial following from Warrington and other towns.
