MEIN 66 was founded by two visual artists / musicians who mutually bonded over music of the band, Cocteau Twins. Once their music styles became apparent of the same like-mindedness, the band was born. D. Lammie-Hanson (Lammie) is the vocalist and primary songwriter for MEIN 66. Her vocal style is an infusion of Bjork, PJ Harvey and the honey of Sade while Georgia native, Ari Meier is an avant-garde keyboardist and composer. Lammie suggested the German word “MEIN” which is “my” in English. Then being influenced by the iconic Route 66, had the idea of morphing it into “MEIN 66” to celebrate that journey which can unite the worlds of East and the West (hopefully the Right and the Le ft) just like the actual Route 66 does in the US. The music is a hybrid of alternative, progressive, indie, and experimental music. This amazing eclectic mix is dubbed “soulternative”. The “soul” part is in reference to the eternal part of the being…celebrating the spiritual existence of the soul and mind. In the early summer of 2009, guitarist, Aaron Simpson joined and contributed his tasty chords, guitar voicings and great ear to the music. A little later, D. David Hensel (affectionately known as Derek), the adventurous 8 string bassist and background vocalist came on board to add his brand to the mix. Derek then brought funky drummer, Daniel Decriscio, a fellow collaborator at City Church-Eastside in Atlanta. Daniel brought experimental and driving force drumming techniques to MEIN 66's sound. Since the completion of the band, MEIN 66 has performed for private parties, art shows/galleries, a bar/restaurants across the Atlanta Metro Area as well as Alive After Five events in Roswell, a large outdoor festival. The band recently recorded its three song EP, entitled “Dirty Physics” . “Dirty Physics will soon be available on CdBaby, Itunes, Rhapsody, Pandora, La La, Napster and many other online music sites by December 2009.
