Six & Out - Legends of Cricket

Six & Out is a one-of-a-kind Australian rock band formed by cricketing legends Brett Lee, Shane Lee, Gavin Robertson, Brad McNamara, and Richard Chee Quee. The group was born in the late 1990s when the cricket stars decided to channel their off-field camaraderie into music, blending their love for the game with their natural musical talent. Known for their cheeky humor and infectious energy, Six & Out captured the hearts of fans with their cult hit "Can't Bowl, Can't Throw," a satirical anthem that humorously highlighted infamous moments in cricket history. The song became a cultural phenomenon, solidifying the band’s unique position in both the music and cricketing worlds.
The band's journey was as unconventional as its members. As professional athletes, their music initially served as a creative outlet and a way to connect with fans on a different level. Despite their demanding cricket schedules, the band delivered memorable performances, showcasing their natural charisma and chemistry on stage. Six & Out’s unique fusion of rock music and cricket-inspired lyrics made them a novelty act with serious talent, earning them a loyal following in the Australian music scene.
After disbanding in the early 2000s due to their cricketing and professional commitments, the band surprised fans with a spectacular comeback in 2023, 23 years after their original run. Their return was marked by a sold-out national tour that reignited the passion of longtime fans and introduced their music to a new generation. Audiences flocked to venues across Australia, eager to experience the infectious energy and humor that made Six & Out a beloved act in the first place. Each gig was a celebration of their unique blend of sports and rock, featuring high-energy performances and appearances by famous Australian musicians who joined the band on stage, further adding to the magic of their live shows.
The band’s comeback story was chronicled in the critically acclaimed rockumentary, Six and Out: The Second Innings. The film provided an intimate look at their history, the challenges of reuniting after decades, and the joy of reconnecting with fans. It captured the essence of the band’s journey—equal parts humour, heart, and passion—cementing their place as cultural icons in Australia.
In addition to the overwhelming success of their national tour, Six & Out’s music continues to resonate with fans, wowing audiences with an energetic mix of all-time favourite rock hits spanning generations with surprise guest appearances by famous Australian musicians.
Six & Out’s story is one of reinvention, resilience, and a deep connection with their audience. From cricket fields to sold-out concert venues, the band has proven that their unique brand of humor, talent, and passion transcends boundaries.
With their triumphant return and the release of The Second Innings, Six & Out has solidified its legacy as an unforgettable part of Australia’s cultural fabric.
