Artist History Sex 66 was formed on the Ides of May, 1991 from the scattered pieces of the Earwigs and FMK, two seminal Sacramento Bands. The next few years saw the rise, the fall, the rise, the additional fall, and finally the subsequent rise, of Sex 66 in the Sacramento music scene. Sex 66 recently released their new album, Grew Up Down, on Nevada City's Fire-Ram Records. The record is in national distribution and available at a record store near you.

Press Reviews Definitely the best thing to ever come from Sacramento, Sex66 fuse West Coast-inspired Country Rock with subtle surf sounds and old fashioned Rock and Roll to create their own version of Cosmic American Music. Lazy pedal steel, grinding Hammond B3, brazen horns, airy flute, dynamic drumming, elastic bass, and the hellfire hypnotic guitar playing of six string samurai Mike Farrell collectively enrich and add texture to solid songwriting and vocal harmonies. Those lucky enough to catch a Sex 66 live show will experience something almost otherworldly -- imagine if Peter Fonda and Keith Richards threw a Laurel Canyon party in 1968 and Gram Parsons dosed the punch before Dick Dale crashed the scene and started pushing people in the swimming pool.-- Review from Listen.com
