Editor's review
From Toronto to Los Angeles they came. Six Foot Daisy, an intriguing female lead voice held aloft by an eclectic band of minstrels, all trained in the vibrant Toronto scene. Gwen Stefani, Sheryl Crow, and Jessica Simpson had better watch their Pilates-trained backs. These rockers from up north are here and they're clearly rising stars.
Biography
Six Foot Daisy are an infectious new band which formed in Toronto’s eclectic music scene and is now based in Los Angeles. Blending rock, pop, reggae, ska and even some jazz influences, Ashley Saunig’s powerful vocals are complimented by the guitar of Mike K, and by the seamless rhythms of bassist Dave Carreiro and drummer Randy Cooke. Since each member of the band comes from different musical styles and backgrounds, the unique dynamic between Six Foot Daisy allows them to write and perform songs that blend each style with complete musical fluency.
“We are all different people and I think that’s what makes our music what it is,” says Ashley. “Six Foot Daisy’s music is a good representation of where we’ve all been and where we are now.”
All members of the band take part in the writing process, adding their own insight and ideas for the music. There are no boundaries for this band. Rather than live by boundaries, the band strives to set new ones. Being different, influential and not conforming to the current trends are building blocks for Six Foot Daisy’s progression.
“There’s nothing wrong with making everyone happy, but in the end, we have to play the music and we have to be happy with it,” says Mike. “People pick up on that, that’s how you get fans and that’s how you keep fans - by having musical integrity and being yourself.”
Even though the band’s chemistry is evident in their studio work and live show, there’s still a lot of learning that goes along with the development of this new band. Getting to know each other musically, defining their sound and developing their style are all ongoing processes. Each time they write a new song or play a live show, the path that this band is taking becomes more and more clear.
“How people receive us is very important on a fan level and on an industry level, but the core of it is how we ourselves receive it,” Ashley explains. “It’s not worth it if we’re not happy with it, and if we’re not growing because of it. As long as we’re happy and our music is a reflection of who we are, we will be successful.”
