In the words of a certain dear friend of mine, Jerry Schollenberger, who also just happens to be among the most noted of '60s rock historians within a CD compilation of my.our music... and I quote:"For nearly five decades, Chicago's own New Colony Six have long reigned as the undisputed leaders of the Windy City's 1960's Rock Revolution. With the release of their self-penned single, "I Confess" in November 1965, NC6 became the first Chicago-area group to place a hit record on both local & national charts. Utilizing their vast, well-honed musical skills, the Colony achieved a string of 14 more local & national chart victories that lasted well into the mid-1970's. #1 hits & gold records, "I Will Always Think About You" (1968) & "Things I'd Like To Say" (1969), were both Billboard "Top 20" smashes. As a result, the band earned a staggering total of nearly 200 weeks on the local & national surveys. National TV appearances ensued - The Mike Douglas Show, Upbeat & Lloyd Thaxton's "Showcase '68", along with dozens of syndicated regional & local programs. In 2002, NC6 was honored with induction into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Further, immense fan loyalty resulted in the release of EIGHT retrospective compilation CDs- w/releases from Japan, England and the USA to date. The UK’s Rev-Ola label released the 8th compilation CD, “SIDES”; rumor exists that a 9th is in the works!"Today, New Colony Six continues to amaze, dazzle & delight fans of all ages in concert throughout the Chicago area and Midwest. The Colony recreates all their well-loved hits, along with faithful renditions of songs by '60s peers - positive proof that more than four decades later, the magic of "Colonization" STILL runs rampant!"Singing superbly crafted tales of truth, love & joy... Breaking through the walls of mediocrity with profound creativity and diversity that is second to none... A precise and dedicated approach to their music that swings, but is not afraid to cry... Welcome to the exciting sounds of The New Colony Six.”Pretty cool, eh?
