Six Pack (film)

Six Pack is a 1982 American comedy-drama film directed by Daniel Petrie, and stars Kenny Rogers, Diane Lane, Erin Gray, Anthony Michael Hall and Barry Corbin.

Plot

When race car driver Brewster Baker (Kenny Rogers) is stopped at a gas station, parts are stolen from his race car. Then while in a diner in a small Texas town, he sees some people stealing parts from another car, and chases the thieves. When the thieves' van goes into a river, Brewster rescues them and discovers that they are orphaned children. The kids were stealing auto parts for "Big John" the corrupt county sheriff, who jails Brewster for breaking and entering, larceny, resisting arrest and speeding. After the kids help break Brewster out of jail, Brewster reluctantly takes the children with him. Eventually, they form a friendship and bond. The end of the movie features real race footage from the 1982 NASCAR Coca-Cola 500, held at Atlanta Motor Speedway and won that year by Darrell Waltrip.

Six Pack (band)

Six Pack is a Serbian punk rock/pop punk band from Smederevska Palanka.

History

1990s

The band was formed in early 1993 by Branko Mitrović (guitar), Milan Radojević (guitar, vocals), Dragan Bojić "Bojke" (guitar), Saša Bogdanović "Bogda" (vocals), Miloš Novaković (drums) and Vladimir Čupić "Čupa" (bass), and got the name by the Black Flag song of the same name.

The band recorded their first eight-song demo during the late 1994, and released it independently on the compact cassette Berza bez granica (Stock without Borders). On April 1995, the band performed in Athens and Thessaloniki, meeting bands from punk rock scenes of other countries, and, encouraged with the experience, they started recording their debut studio album. Pretnja ili molitva (Threat or Prayer), produced by Bojan Antunović and released through Kontra Kultura records, featured ten songs, including a cover version of a Mutha's Day Out song, with lyrics in Serbian language entitled "Vodite me" (Take Me).

On early 1996, guitarist Bojić left the band and was replaced by Milan Radojević. The new lineup recorded the band's second album, Fabrička greška (Factory Error), produced by Pacca The Zoom and released by Start Today Records. The album included a cover version of the Culture Club song "Karma Chameleon" and the song "Crveni makovi" ("Red Poppy") featured the lyrics of a patriotic song written by Nikola Hercigonja. Fabrička greška, and, a year later, the second album was rereleased on CD by ITTM records. The material from both the first and the second album was released on CD by the Croatian record label Dirty Old Town.

Six Pack (ZZ Top album)

Six Pack is a compilation album released in 1987 by the American blues rock band ZZ Top. The compilation encompasses the first five studio albums by ZZ Top plus El Loco into a three-disc set. All of the albums, except El Loco, were remixed with 1980s percussion. This was done due to the success of the albums Eliminator and Afterburner, on which the band had found success by using such instruments. These were used for the single CD versions of the albums as well. Many fans disliked these remixes, complaining the band had sold out, preferring the raw blues sound of the originals.

In 2006, the original mixes of "Tres Hombres" and "Fandango!" were released on CD. Several tracks from the remaining albums appeared on the box set Chrome, Smoke & BBQ, and the 2CD compilation Rancho Texicano until 2013 when the albums were re-released on CD with the original mixes restored.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave it 2 stars out of 5, stating: "Six Pack gathers ZZ Top's first five albums, plus El Loco ..., with the added 'bonus' of new drum and guitar effects, all added to contemporarize the sound -- to make it sound a bit like Eliminator, then. If Six Pack just delivered the original albums, it'd be a good investment, but the studio tinkering makes this a disaster."
