Lance, Mike and Vin, three nice boys from Long Island, NY, started playing
music together in 1989 with various other people in various settings and
styles. Then they started playing music with Kevin, formerly of Beyond, in
the early Spring of 1991, this setting was called 1.6 Band. They
played their first show in someone's back yard in July, 1991.
In the Fall of 1991 they recorded their first 7" record, 'Tongue Family
Style,' with Wharton
Tiers. For the rest of 1991 and the first eight
months of 1992, 1.6 Band played up and down the East Coast of the
US.
Before Vin moved to the Maryland suburbs of DC in September to finish
college, the group recorded their only LP, again with Tiers. Around
this
time, Mike started playing in Die 116 for a short while.
The summer of 1993 brought more short road trips and another 7" recorded
with Tiers, 'Pimpin Aint Easy'. 1.6 Band played their
last show in DC at the Beta-Punks Warehouse in October, 1993.
Lance drives a school bus on Long Island and plays with Straight to the
Moon. Kevin is currently playing with The Last Crime. Mike went
on to become an electrician in New York City and occasionally performs
solo around NYC. Vin was with The Crownhate Ruin for a couple of years and then
The New Dark Age Ensemble before moving on to currently un-named projects.
