Electric Six

Detroit disco rockers Electric Six do their best to start a nuclear war in Edinburgh with an explosive celebration of their classic debut album

Electric Six came to Atlanta's The EARL

One can usually tell how a night is likely going to play out through several different indicators. One – the type of music; two – the general vibe of the venue before the show begins and three – the median age of the punters.

Playing through their 10 track set (including intro) with included tracks from the EPs and a personal favourite of mine , second last song OCD.

One of the members of Electric Six missed the boat. Literally. On this night, Electric Six performed as Electric Five. The musicians were vocalist Dick Valentine, guitarists Tait Nucleus and White Wolf, bassist Herb S. Flavorings, and drummer Dr. J. There was no power shortage, however.

In 2003, Detroit six-piece, Electric Six, became a household name in the UK with hits from their debut LP, Fire, including Danger! High Voltage, Dance Commander and lest we forget Gay Bar.
