Colchester Free Festival

We are proud to announce that we will be playing the Hollytrees Stage at Colchester Free Festival this year.

They have picked some great bands for this years festival including Cav Ok, Ady Johnson and Broken Heads so we suggest making a day of it and engrossing yourself in the music and the fantastic atmosphere.

We also have one other Festival to play this year, the Mersea Island Scooter Rally. It is a national event that sees Mod's, Punk's, Rudeboy's and Vintage Scooter fans descend on the small island of Mersea for a whole weekend of live music, dancing the night away and general tomfoolery. Details for this event will follow next week.

Kelvedon Review and Our Weekend Escapades

What a weekend!!! The band played the Essex Rocks Stage @ Kelvedon Festival on Saturday 9th July, followed by a last minute set at great little charity event called the Blues & Rock In The Garden Festival.


It all kicked off with our storming set at Kelvedon to rapturous applause. Online blogger the 'LP Project' reviewed the gig and wrote some very endorsing words "The 633 delivered a pounding performance and some interesting hooks, particularly in 'All That I Need'. The two Vocalists worked well together and the music took risks, changing direction to add interest." 


We then decamped and made our way to a very large garden to play a last minute gig. The Event was to support a charity called Building Futures In Malawi, it supported all sorts of projects to help people in the deprived country of Malawi. We performed an acoustic set as we believed it would suit the nature of the event and was the second storming set of the day, it was a pleasure to be involved and we met some great people.


Thank you to everyone that supported us throughout the day and all those that made the effort to come and have a chat with us.


Here is a copy of the Set List for the Kelvedon Free Festival 2011:

Kelvedon Festival with The Blockheads

The Sun is shining, the weather is sweet and this Saturday The 633 will be playing the Kelvedon Free Festival. Also playing will be The Blockheads, Animal Noise and We Are Embassy. Come on down and get involved, we will be on the Essex Rocks Stage at 1:15.

It will be our first gig since mid-May and we will be showcasing the material that is to be released on our New EP in September. Sponsors of the event are Long Track Studios where we recorded the EP, if you are in a band it is well worth going and having a chat with Nathan and Sarah at their stall.
