Six60 in LA recording new album before beginning world tour

Iconic Kiwi band Six60 are in Los Angeles soaking up all the inspiration they can find to generate a brand new album.

The band have been recording for the past few weeks and are gearing up for a mammoth tour around the globe this summer.

Now over a decade since they first burst onto the scene, they've decided to spice things up a little, with drummer Eli Paewai featuring on the mic for the first time.

"We're confident in what we dig, they'll [Kiwis] dig," keyboardist Marlon Gerbes said.

"We're being true to ourselves, so that'll come through."
