Released in March 2015, Six60 (II. the Colours album) debuted at #1 on the NZ album chart and has remained in the top 40 ever since, breaking the previous record held by Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

No strangers to breaking records, this is a new level of domination for the kiwi band.

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best-selling albums of all time having spent a total of 297 weeks in the charts since its release in 1973. Amazingly, SIX60 have surpassed that feat (reaching 298 weeks in the charts on November 14th, 2020) in consecutive weeks in less than six years, which makes this new record that much more astonishing.

The record comes less than two weeks before the release of their new film SIX60: Till The Lights Go Out in cinemas nationwide on November 26th, 2020.

Produced by Notable Pictures and directed by award-winning director Julia Parnell, the film tells the story of New Zealand’s biggest band, revealing their untold story of ambition and creative vulnerability. Harnessing the fighting spirit of the rugby field, the film shows how SIX60 transformed a desire to win into musical domination, previously unseen in Aotearoa.

It was always going to be special when two of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters announced they were teaming up to release their first ever album together.

Country artists, and husband and wife duo, Adam Eckersley & Brooke McClymont today celebrate their debut album ADAM & BROOKE charting #1 on the ARIA Country Album chart and Top 20 on the ARIA All-Genre Album Chart and announce additional shows to their already extensive ‘Highway Sky Tour’.  

“This is just the best news so thanks to everyone that is supporting us.” Brooke commented. “We didn’t know what to expect when we decided to do an album together but we did know that we love the songs and the recordings and you can only hope that if you love it then other people will too.”

The self-produced, 10-track album has been praised by fans & critics alike with Country Update Magazine stating “It is a body of work in a class all of its own and may well be the best Australian country duets album ever. I can’t think of a better one. It is a treat for the ears – lyrically and in terms of real people making real sounds playing real instruments really well, with no BS bells and whistles!”

The five-month long ‘Highway Sky Tour’ will take the duo across the nation and they’ll be taking some of the brightest emerging talent with them.

2018 Toyota Star Maker winner, Brad Cox will support on the majority of newly announced shows with Imogen Clark, Melanie Dyer, Tori Forsyth, Andrew Thomson, Blake O’Connor and Brad Butcher supporting on various dates for the rest of the tour. “Most of these shows are Brooke & I with a couple of acoustic guitars, a stomp box and a bunch of stories & songs.” Adam said. “It’s so much fun and we’ve got a great bunch of artists joining us, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing.”
