Electric Six

When one thinks of Electric Six one inevitably thinks of their hits: “Gay Bar” and “Danger! High Voltage”. Sadly they seem to be two of the only bright ideas the band’s ever had, since their music was strangely dull despite lead singer Dick Valentine’s posturing and endearingly surreal sense of humour. In fact his bizarre rants were the most interesting part of the night, telling funny tales of studying flamenco music in Spain and demanding recognition of his drummer’s Englishness. The band were technically skilled however and were quite ballsy and vibrant, but the songs were lacking and the night was instantly forgettable.
