|---|
Sixty Watt Shaman is an American stoner metal band based in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] They recorded and released their first studio album in 1998 and reportedly broke up in 2003. They are active on MySpace and played at a small festival April 28, 2007 at the Ottobar in Baltimore, Maryland for a reunion show.
History
The band was formed in the mid 1990s by lead guitarist Joe Selby and drummer Chuck Dukehart, both formerly of Supercreep, after teamed up with vocalist/rhythm guitarist Dan Kerzwick and bassist Jim Forrester.[1] The band released their first album, Ultra Electric, in 1998 on Game Two Records.[1] With one release behind them, in 2000 the band were signed by Spitfire Records and released Seed of Decades. Seed of Decades has been compared to the 70s hard rock sound of Aerosmith and Grand Funk Railroad "with a more modern harder edge".[2] For their 2002 release, Reason to Live, Dukehart was replaced by drummer Pete Campbell.[1] This album received a mixed review from Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic who compliments their technical proficiency but laments that there is nothing to distinguish them from their contemporaries.[3]
