Initial thoughts: a little bit of Mudhoney vocals with punk rock attitude and bluesy guitar. Then, track 2 turns into a Kiss hit with a bit of Clutch meets an American version of Ozzy Osbourne. Overall interterpretation: They have an eclectic mix of rock sounds. Although, the first time that I listened to Red Hot Rebellion on shuffle I was unsure if I could take the album seriously with their self-proclaimed ‘evilness’ that is represented by the song titles ("For the Benefit of Evil," "Hellfire," "Devil’s Rope"). But, the more that I listened to them, I found myself re-playing certain...
November 2 - Cleveland - The Grog Shop Detroit, MI - "It helps that we love doing this and love to do whatever it takes to stay on the road," says ELECTRIC SIX frontman Dick Valentine, about how prolific he and his five bandmates are.

1. Mon. 11/1 @ Musica, Akron Eisley is an indie rock band consisting of four siblings and a cousin from Texas. Sweet! This type of arrangement works for groups like Kings of Leon and, ahem, Hanson so what have you got to lose? Musica always throws a hell of a show. 2. Tues. 11/2 @ EJ Thomas, Akron Bob Dylan wrote the book on insightful lyrics over questionable musical talent. He’s playing Akron U’s EJ Thomas tomorrow night and there are still a few tickets left. This guy you gotta see at least once. 3. Tues. 11/2 @ Peabody...
Their biography bills them as “the rock equivalent of a duty-bound pack of Wild West outlaws who've spent the last 25 years on Mars and are now returning to right the musical wrongs of us puny Earth creatures”. When you think of a clever way to fuse rock and punk, yet stay laid-back and funky…but you need some falsetto disco vocals, it could seem like impossibility. Electric Six says no, it’s really not.
