Hará como año y medio que descubrí a esta banda. No paraba de escuchar su canción Leave this world una y otra vez. Ayer según parece fue el día de edición de su trabajo Cheers to the bitter end. A ver si hay ocasión de escucharlo, el tema mencionado y su canción gratuita Mistakes like these, me gustan bastante.

Mighty Six Ninety is a familiar phrase to many people in Southern California. It is the name of a border-blasting AM radio station in the Tijuana area of Baja California, Mexico that was one of the most popular top 40 stations in the San Diego area in the 1980s. The Mightly 690 was an inspiration to many aspiring musicians at the time, including Rich Michalowski who grew up in a rural area outside of San Diego.
The radio station was Michalowski's first taste of commercial pop music. He used to listen to the radio station and started learning the guitar soon after. He began obsessively rehearsing the instrument for 8-10 hours a day. Fast-forward to 2006, Michalowski named his new band Mighty Six Ninety as an homage to the pop radio station. The quintet includes Rich Michalowski on vocal/guitar, Jeremy Castillo on guitar, Benjamin Herr on bass, Reade Pryor on drums and Camouflage on keyboards.
The band is preparing the release of their debut album "Cheers To The Bitter End" on July 17. The group's catchy tunes are polished and fun to listen to. It echoes the sounds of many of the artists that inspired them, including New Order, The Cure and The Smiths. Michalowski and his pals layer melodic synths with rippling basslines, soaring guitars and yearning vocals.
Even though Michalowski was inspired by '80s new wave and pop, he writes me he doesn't consider Mighty Six Ninety an '80s band. "We're influenced by pop music from the early 90's and late 80's. Some of our favorite albums are from 80's band's who continued to released material well into the 90's," Machalowski writes Arjan. "However, it would be unfair to call us an '80's band. After all, we don't wear make up."
One of my favorite tracks is "Mistakes Like These" that has a special meaning to Michalowski. "I was terribly depressed and wrote half the song on the edge of my bed late one night," Michalowski writes me. "It was more about a feeling than the lyrics. Jeremy and I later finished the chorus and pre-chorus together over the phone and during a few studio sessions. We wrote most of 'Cheers To The Bitter End' in this same way."
