Six60’s Chris Mac on the band’s future, the myth of balance, and why it’s time to ditch tall poppy syndrome
Six60 have been soundtracking Kiwi summers since ages ago - and they’ve got the accolades to prove it.
The lads have spent a staggering 586 weeks on the New Zealand Singles Chart and a massive 1,232 weeks on the Albums Chart.
In this episode, Chris Mac - the wildly talented, theatrical bassist - shares how five very different musicians (and personalities) have become one of the most successful bands in Aotearoa’s history.
There have been plenty of ups and downs along the way, but Chris believes the best is yet to come (cough new album cough).
Kiwi Yarns
Welcome to Kiwi Yarns - those yarns you have where you sit down, put the kettle on, pour a whiskey or crack open a beer I honestly don‘t mind. Anyway! We‘re sitting down and we’re yarning to some great New Zealanders, their back stories, their front stories, even stories where they went sideways, we will go there. It’s a place where we celebrate the great people of this glorious nation.
