"Sex 66 is a local band from right here in Sacramento, CA. I recently stumbled upon this CD from a step-child of backup singer and Organ Player for the band, Paul Wells. Upon putting it into the CD player in the car, I was instantly hooked. If given the chance, I feel this band could have gotten as big as another local giant, Cake.The CD is a wonderful blend of slow smooth melodies and fast jams, all coming together in a wonderful package. The energetic vibes of several songs will wind you up, only to lead to a wonderfully slow sweet melody, titled California. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good new band to turn on to.Personally Recommended Tracks:
4. Pennies
6. My Dying Day
7. Numb
12. CaliforniaI truly hope that my review has helped you, and will lead you giving this wonderful album and band a try.-Sam Rasmussen"

ANOTHER OF SACTO'S BEST KEPT SECRETS

"THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FABULOUS ALBUMS OF '99. It is a must have for any Sacramento music scene fan.. Jimmy Self and Mike Farrell have done an outstanding job of putting together an album that has such wide appeal to music fans of many genres. Lyrically fantasic...musically superb! This band is destined to be another of Sacramento's greatest...and well deserving so..WE LOVE 'EM!"

The best band you've never heard

"I've probably seen this band live no less than 20 time over the course of 10 years. And you know what? I never get tired of them. Some of the most forward-thinking songwriting set to some of the most deeply rooted alt-country styles. Mike Farrell's guitar genious/showmanship would be enough to carry the band, though he doesn't have to, thanks to Jimmy's affected, yet forgiveable swagger and Paul's seering Hammond organ - not to mention an extremely tight rhythm section as well as horns, spooky steel guitar and castanets to boot. Definitley not one to miss, especially if they play in your town. They will be one of the bands who come around and you wait until next time and then the next time, their huge and you'll tell all your friends, "I had a chance to see them at a tiny club once." Serious."
