Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits. In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60. The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said. Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2. To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets. If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album. It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.
