The group formed in Nottingham in 1996 after having played initially under the name „Friends Of…“ since their first gig at the Old Angel in Nottingham in late 1992. After recording several demos and playing gigs, the band attracted record company interest, and played to a room full of A&R men in Leicester’s Charlotte. The room emptied before the first 15 minute song was complete. Undeterred, the band continued to write and record. Bass player Paul Douglas joined later that year.

The band got their break by playing support slots with Rocket From The Crypt and Girls Against Boys, and later changed their name to Six By Seven. The name was taken from the research connected with the Hubble telescope. Sam Hempton came up with the name and described it as follows:

„There was a big debate as to whether the millions of other galaxies in the universe were accelerating away from each other or moving away at a constant rate, or whether they were actually coming back in on themselves. The scientists originally thought that everything would eventually come back in on itself and implode, but what’s actually happening is that they are accelerating away at a rate of Six By Seven.“

In 1997 the band released its first 12“ single ‘European Me’ to critical acclaim, with numerous publications citing them as one of the most exciting new names in UK guitar-based music, leading to a five album deal. Their first album, The Things We Make was released the following year, after which they began headlining their own shows, as well as touring with Ash, The Manic Street Preachers, The Dandy Warhols, and Placebo.

Comment on Closer You Get ‘An’ Album of the Year… 11 years on? by Bere

8. Nov. 2011 | von chrisolley.wordpress.com

You may not compare greatness of an album to it's sales numbers. It IS a great album and still one of my all-time favourites. It's always my first choice when I recommend 6x7 to anyone.
