6 Mile High - Homebaker

 

 

6 MILE HIGH

Homebaker

1995 Columbia

 

Notes:

6 Mile High were an electronic-fusion-rock group from Perth, Australia, who released an independent album, Initiations, under the name Yummy Fur in 1994. When they signed with Sony in 1995, they had to change their name as a group already held that name internationally. They released the singles "Homebaker" and "Hallowed Ground" in 1995, both receiving strong airplay on Triple J and locally within Perth - however, failed to succeed commercially outside their home city and subsequently were dropped by Sony. They reverted to their former name, releasing a single "Life" and album ''One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other'' in 1997.

Band members were: Andrei Mazandarani (vocals, programming), Anton Mazandarani (drums, percussion), Julian Ralls (guitar), Travis Calley (keyboards, programming, saxophone), Kiriakos Lucas (guitar) and Jerome Mazandarani (bass).
