Editor's note

16th Avenue's indie-soul sound from the 2000s

An indie-soul band whose 2006 single '06.18.06' still gets played by people who remember that mix.

If you're going to listen to one thing, make it '06.18.06'. That single really captures what they were doing.

Their song 'Check Your Life At The Door' had that soulful feel that fit right into what was happening in indie music at the time. They worked with artists like Floetry and Talib Kweli on some tracks, which gave their sound a bit of reach beyond just their own records. '06.18.06' from their debut album 'City of Champions' became the song people remembered them for.

They put out their debut album 'City of Champions' in 2006, then followed with 'The Beautiful and the Damned' in 2008 and 'Nocturnal' in 2010. Around 2009, they left their label and took a break, after which the members went different ways, Aneesa Sheik started solo work, Joe Bermudez kept producing, and Eric Schlesinger and Matt Boudreau formed Bird Brain.

They released a couple more albums after that, including 'The Beautiful and the Damned' in 2008 and 'Nocturnal' in 2010.
