Hailing
from Detroit, Electric Six formed in 1996 and were originally known
as The Wildbunch. Before they tasted success they were forced to
change their name due to a legal dispute. The band rejected names
like The Carbohydrates, The Sex Stars of 1977 and The Turkeys in
favour of their current moniker.
Led
by frontman Dick Valentine, the band features an ever changing lineup,
which may well include Tait Nucleus (keyboards), John R. Dequindre
(bass), Johnny Na$hinal (lead guitar) and The Colonel (guitar) and
new drummer The Next Level.
After
playing on the local scene for years, the band finally hit the big
time. With the help of fellow Detroit native Jack White, they scored
a number 2 UK hit in 2003 with 'Danger! High Voltage'.
More
outrageous video antics followed with 'Gay Bar' and third single
'Dance Commander', both taken from their album 'Fire'.
Now
the band return for a tilt at the Christmas number one, with their
cover of Queen's 'Radio Ga Ga'. The track is released on 13 December
and a new album at the beginning of 2005.
The
prize
A pair of tickets to see the Electric Six at Wolverhampton Wulfrun
Hall on Friday 25 February 2004.
