In September 1981...I was sitting in my dorm room, and I heard, above me, some slammin' bass guitar playing. I went upstairs to check it out, and introduced myself to my future roommate. Since I played guitar in various HS R&B bands, and so did he, we naturally hit it off. Being roommates during and after college allowed us to begin writing and recording. From the beginnings of using an old Electro-Harmonix drum machine and tape recorder, we went to our first pro session at a $1 per track 12-track studio in Fairfield, CT. From there we put together a group featuring a two females and a male vocalist. Out of that came songs such as "Backslider," "Same Place, Same Time," "Baby Girl," "You're The One," "I Want Your Love" (The Slammin Funk Remix), and "Special Lady."
The mid-80's saw the birth of After Six..(yes, we were formed just a few months before After 7 came out) and submission of a demo to Solar Records, who acknowledged some interest...but nothing came out of it. We then parted separate ways due to employment seeking, etc. Fast forward to 2002, after the development of two home studios, and the relocation of one of us, the idea was to form After Six Productions, whose first studio project was a remix of a song called "It Takes Two." The success of the debut caused us to more formerly pursue a writing/performing/production role...and here we are.
Doug's main instrument is guitar, with bass guitar as a second instrument. Keyboard come third. Dan plays bass guitar, primarily, and keyboards, second.
