CHRISTOPHER WADE - VOCALS ,,ROBERT GEISER - LEAD GUITAR,, BRIAN MARQUEZ - RHYTHM GUITAR,, Scott Sorenson - BASS GUITAR,, Matt Conley -DRUMS-------------- April Sixth got its start on the local music scene in Riverside, California. Wade was playing a solo, acoustic show in 2001 when he had a chance meeting with Marquez and Geiser. “They were walking past the coffee shop after an argument with a friend, and decided to stop in,” Wade recalls. “When I finished my set, they came up to me and asked me to join a band they were forming. When I said yes, they asked me if I could give them a ride home too.” The trio spent several months writing songs and rehearsing in a barn at Robert’s house. After recruiting a bassist and drummer, the band tested their new songs at a few gigs at local high schools before booking their first club gig. At one show, the band caught the attention of Dan Estrin, guitarist of Hoobastank. Dan passed their demo to Benson, who like the band so much that he began working with them in 2003. A year later, the band signed with Columbia Records and began recording IN MEMORY. April Sixth will be on the road this summer in support of IN MEMORY.
