S I C K E R T Formed in the fall of 2009 in Austin Texas, Sickert is the latest and best incarnation of the critically acclaimed and influential psychedelic - rock quintet 7% Solution. While never achieving huge hometown success, 7% was highly regarded throughout the US and European press as one of the best bands out of Austin; charting at #20 on the CMJ charts, conducting several successful and popular national tours and SXSW showcases, selling over 5000 albums, and garnering lavish praise from major music publications and critics - all from a home-recorded and self-produced product that never had label support! Don't believe it? Google the name and see what you find sucka! Through constantly changing and diverse influences, 7%'s sound began evolving into a more and more song-oriented format that directed the member's eyes and minds upward from the tops of their shoes through the haze of singer-songwriter mediocrity and finally into the ether beyond. As the sound grew and matured, the band felt that it needed further songwriting diversity and added female singer-composer Lisa Lipkin to the existing lineup and renamed itself Sickert. Sickert has since been recording and engineering a catalog of 25+ fantastic new songs while waiting for the world to work out how we're all going to listen to and buy music in this bold new millennium. |
