Six Figures: A funky rootsy blues rock band (with hints of psychedelica and soul) from Claremont, CA.

Mostly written via jamming the songs out in one take, the music of 6 Figures relied heavily on fluid funky basswork.

 

Guests: Erik Thor Shumpert, Steve Salveson, 

 

Six Figures commenced their studio work with the production of FAST CASH in 1997 in Venice Beach, CA. Then over about a decade the band's members met once a year to chisel out the hardbody of work that stands handsomely flexing before you today.

 

Just dig those lovely crystal clear and dirty vintage guitar tones. Snap your fingers to those fascinating rhythms (if you dare!)  Some of it rocks, some of it swings, some of it sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom stall at The Rainbow Room but the energy and musicianship shine through.
