Fresno, CA-based Six Ounce Gloves was named the National Independent Hard Rock Band of the year award at the Hollywood Fame Awards (www.hollywoodfameawards.com); the ceremony for the Awards is being held on November 28th. Recipients were selected by people who make their living working with and booking bands at venues all over the United States. Says band drummer Chad Brummer: “We have worked very hard to get to where we are. This award is important to us – it lets us know that our work has been recognized and it also reminds us that we have a lot more work to do in 2008.”
Additionally, the hard-working band has been nominated in one category at the L.A. Music Awards (www.losangelesmusicawards.net): Best Rock Group of the Year. The event is being held on November 29th at the Music Box Theatre in Hollywood. They’ve also made the ballot for the South Bay Music Awards (www.southbaymusicawards.com), where they were nominated for Best Rock Group/Artist of the Year, Best Live Performance, and lead singer Mitch Gordon was also nominated for Best Male Vocals.
Six Ounce Gloves released its debut album, “Timing Is Everything,” last year, and the band continues to tour extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest and California, much to the pleasure of its growing fanbase. The band has harnessed an energy that is completely raw live and often includes the audience in the performance, with fans being invited on stage to sing along. Their shows boast an energy that is both palpable and contagious. Bringing melodic riffs and harmonies to their aggressive rock anthems, Six Ounce Gloves sets itself apart as a band to watch. After getting a big break when they opened for Korn after winning a local battle of the bands, Six Ounce Gloves quickly saw their song, “Where Do I Go” become the #2 requested song on the Fresno hard rock radio station 103.7 KRZR. Since then, they’ve been asked to open for Papa Roach, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, and Taproot, among others.
Six Ounce Gloves is: Mitch Gordon (vocals), Chad Brummer (guitar), Mike Bass (bassist), and Darren Badorine (drums). The band can be found online at www.sixouncegloves.com and www.myspace.com/sixouncemusic.
