The Chuck Dukowski Sextet (or CD6 [1]) was a band featuring former Black Flag bassist Chuck Dukowski. [6] The band was called a sextet even though they only have four members. [7]
History
Dukowski wanted to start playing again so he began playing with a drummer in December 2012. [3] [2] He invited his wife, Lora Norton, to contribute vocals [3] and after a few years his step-son Milo Gonzalez [1] joined as guitarist at the age of sixteen. [2]
Dukowski has said that CD6 is the most collaborative band he has been in since Würm with each member having a say in songwriting [1] although Lora handles the lyric writing. [2]
The band's first album, Eat My Life, was released on Dukowski's own label Nice & Friendly Records. [8] A second album, Reverse the Polarity, was also released on Nice & Friendly Records. In 2010, Jeff Bowers of ORG Music persuaded the band to join his label. [1] After joining, CD6 released a split 7-inch with Mike Watt + The Missingmen. [1] [9] A third album, Haunted, was released on ORG. [1]
