58 was an Americanrock band, a side project involvingNikki Sixx ofMötley Crüe and producerDave Darling, Sixx's former father-in-law. The band name originates from the fact that both Sixx and Darling were born in 1958. The band also includedSteve Gibb (son ofBee Gees'sBarry Gibb) on guitar andBucket Baker on drums.The band described themselves as a mixture of "glam, hip hop, rock, pop, funk and a car crash."[1]
They released one album,Diet for a New America, in June 2000 on Americoma Records, an imprint ofBeyond Music.[2][3]
The original demo for "1958" was recorded in 1996. The demo was produced byScott Humphrey and assistant engineer Brian VanPortfleet. The entire seven track demo was recorded and mixed in two weeks.
