Originally conceived as a side project to Six By Seven, due to the delay of the record company putting out their new album and a lot of songs in danger of being shelved (the first album - also called this - is effectively a pseudonym Six By Seven album).
Chris expanded on the concept with a true solo follow-up album in 2006, featuring more ideas exploring the electronic krautrock soundscapes and moving away from the guitar-heavy shoegaze indie noise of Six By Seven.
Twelve's first ever live performance came in February 2012 (11 years after, effectively, forming) at a Klub Motorik krautrock night at the Windmill in Brixton, London. It was also recorded and released as a free download album and in limited quantities on physical formats.
