TENSIXTIES… Conceived in England… born in the Americas… raised in Argentina…

Back in his native Liverpool, singer/songwriter Gibbs (http://twitter NULL.com/gibbs_i) started performing as ‘Tensixties’ with some friends, playing small venues in the north of England and dreaming big dreams. Tired of his day job and searching for adventure, in 2010 he decided to travel around South America. Wanting to continue with music and after meeting a bunch of like-minded fellow musicians on his travels, the Tensixties collective was born.

Basing their operations in the inspirational city of Buenos Aires and concentrating on up-tempo live performances, they quickly caught on in burgeoning local indie music scene. After six month of intensive gigging within Argentina, Gibbs and some of the guys then went on a mini tour of America recording some tracks in New York with Scott Norton at Headgear studios (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Headgear_Studio) (Brooklyn).
