18crown6 formed in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, with Eugene McDonnell as the singer and songwriter. Their sound was built around synths and vocals that didn't quite fit what was popular at the time, so it took a few years for them to find an audience. Things shifted in 2004 when they put out their second album, 'White Rabbit,' which included the song '400,000 And One.' That track got some radio play and gave the band its first real break.
After that, they kept making records every few years. 'Disconnected' came out in 2006, followed by 'Mindscape' in 2009. The band's lineup stayed mostly the same, with McDonnell writing and singing, Dominic Cramp on guitar, and Chris Dedrick handling keyboards and programming. They worked quietly for a while, then took a break in the mid-2010s. McDonnell has done some solo work since, and the group still plays together occasionally.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
