There are several ways for bands to gain notoriety. Some play showcase events like the NxNW and SxSw events, others tour relentlessly, living in the back of a beat up '82 Chevy van. All of them hope to gain one thing- buzz.
Word of mouth can make or break a band quicker then the quality of the riffs they string together.
Lux 66 is a band doing it the old fashioned way. They haven't toured extensively but they play around town and have created quite a loyal fan base. When you get down to it though, it's the music that counts. Lux 66 comes through here too, with strong pop songs delivered with good timing and solid movement. Ames Friedman is the lead singer and the glue that ties the band together.
