660 Castle Street, Dunedin is possibly the best recognized address in New Zealand with Kiwi music lovers.
In 2006 best mates Matiu Walters and Ji Fraser moved into a student flat in Dunedin along with some friends from University College. The two boys had previously spent time jamming in their rooms and thought it’d be good to flat together and get a band going. As the band formed and they started playing shows, they became known as the ‘660 Boys’. They soon had a following with students around the country and their performances drew increasing numbers of enthusiastic fans. When it came to releasing their first EP in 2008, they decided to call their band Six60, in homage to their Castle Street flat, because it was a place that meant so much to them. “That’s where it all began,” Ji told a reporter, “that’s where I wrote my first song, it’s where we had our first practice together. It was the beginning of everything.” He also added that student flats are a rich source of memories and experiencing life there is a special time for many ex-students.
