Six Syllable Sin
Description: “Somewhere along the way we became a band” bassist Bruce Cook said during a Six Syllable Sin rehearsal break in mid December of 2007. No one in the band can say exactly when that happened but it did somewhere between late July of 2007, when the band first got together and December of 2007.

Six Syllable sin is a three-piece rock band rooted in the backcountry of small town mid Michigan with Scott Schmitt on guitars and vocals, Bruce Cook on bass and vocals and Jeff Smith on the drums. All are veteran musicians that have been in many local area bands over the years until they came together in 2007 to form Six Syllable Sin. Their music is edgy, melodic and memorable.

The Dardanelles
Description: The Dardanelles potentially existed when S. Ellison and B. Thomas met in a bar. Then there was C. Csont. He said that he played bass and he did. There was another drummer, but he vanished. Then there was another, who drowned. Haley forms auxiliary ranks but must now telecommute from the NYC. She knew S. Ellison beforehand, and met B. Thomas during other people's music. Now there is an accordion, but it doesn't get much play. S. Schaefer has now joined the ranks along with her fishtibuns. There are six of them now and many songs, because of music. There is intonation, dissonance and mellifuousness. There are also a great many allergies--far too many, but some are improving. They play in a basement and sleep in their own lodgings. Individually, most of them have attributes.
