Mouse Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 "After surviving a name change, a rotating lineup and an exhausting quest for a record label, Electric Six are back and stronger than ever as they gear up for the release of a new album and a hectic tour schedule.Electric Six released their sophomore album, Senor Smoke, in North America and supported it with tour dates in February. The album was released in the U.K. a year earlier, so the gap in between Senor Smoke and its Switzerland follow-up isn't as small as it appears. The band recorded Switzerland early this year and it's scheduled for a September 12 release via Metropolis."It's all new material," says the band of the album on their website. "And for the first time, none of the songs have the word 'dance' or variation of 'dance' in the title."But fear not. We have songs with 'drugs' and 'girls' and 'tonight' and 'night' and 'louder' and 'party' in the title, so we haven't given up on our philosophy just yet."The Detroit-based sextet (originally named The Wildbunch) fuse metal, disco, rock and new wave to produce a high-energy, genre-blurring sound. The Electric Six are comprised of singer Dick Valentine, guitarists Johnny Na$hinal and The Colonel, bassist John R. Dequindre, keyboard/synth player Tait Nucleus and the aptly named Percussion World on percussion.Electric Six tasted their first success following the re-recorded release of "Danger! High Voltage" from their 2003 full-length debut, Fire. The single, which featured backing vocals by Jack White of The White Stripes, propelled its way to #2 in Britain. The success was cut short by roster changes, which saw the departure of original guitarists Rock And Roll Indian and Surge Joebot as well as bassist Disco. To make matters worse, the band was dropped by XL Recordings and forced to search for a new deal.Electric Six will begin a two-week tour in July, followed by a seven-week jaunt across North America in the fall. Several Canadian dates have been announced, including two dates as part of the Dog Day Afternoon Festival also featuring Metric, The Secret Machines and The Fiery Furnaces in Toronto on July 15 and in Montreal on July 17."Looking forward to this. 2006 is going to have been a great year for albums (Strokes, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Mars Volta, Kings of Leon...)

Metarie Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 aww, i like them. They're not the most profound band ever but they're fun, stupid and sound like they're having a great time, plus they're ace live. And I still think that Dick Valentine is a sexy bitch.
