Artist History Six Going on SevenŐs current lineup first appeared in 1995 under the name Puppet Show. Clearly, the band had seen Spinal Tap. The name Six Going on Seven was inspired by drummer Will BartlettŐs nephew, who happened to be six years old going on seven at the time. It was a humble beginning, but with the first show under their belts and armed with a new name, the Sixes were hungry for more. The next gig was with big deal indie rockers Girls Against Boys, a considerable step up. That show led to a seven-inch on Boston based Hydrahead records. Word of this great new band soon spread to New York, and caught the attention of Some Records, a then incipient label started by Walter Schreifels of Quicksand, Sam Siegler from CIV and friend Matt Pincus.
