I seem to be one of the only current Electric Six fans. Anyone else out there...? I'd love some recommendations, and any other similar bands. [lol]

For the record, my favourite tracks are "Gay Bar", "American Cheese" and "Jimmy Carter".

I really like them.

I only have "I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Becoming The Master" but plan to get a lot more of their stuff.

They strike a good balance between silliness and conviction.

"Senor Smoke" is pretty good. "Pleasing Interlude 1" cracks me up every single time I hear it. It's like 48 seconds long, but you cannot help but laugh. [lol]

They were the most recent "real" concert I went to *

, so now I've seen them twice, and both times were pretty fun. I guess I'm sort of a casual fan as I've only heard a few albums in full (Switzerland, Zodiac, and of course Fire), but I enjoy them.

"Dance Commander" is great and probably the best of Fire's singles.

"I Buy the Drugs" is another great single.

I only recently started getting into them, they're playing in Glasgow on the 28th of November and I really want to go. It seems like it'd be a great time.

From Wikipedia.

In the clean version of the song, the words "nuclear" and "war" (in the line "let's start a war, start a nuclear war") are cut out and a whip lash sound is used instead. A Japanese radio version exists in which the same lyrics are replaced with "let's do an edit, do a radio edit".
They should do this for every radio edit from now on.

Radio edits are always gonna be jarring you might as well make it funny.

Okay, so Electric Six had a kickstarter a while back and one of the high tier awards was this

Ever wanted Electric Six to cover a specific song but have been frustrated by their complete unwillingness to cooperate? Now you have a chance to remedy this. Electric Six will deliver unto the purchaser a CD-R containing their requested cover. It will be licensed to the purchaser.

One of the backers just received their cover and it's awesome.

[up] That's a cool idea for a kickstarter award, and may be the perfect cover choice for them note .

Six other people got that reward so I'm hoping to see some other people sharing their's.

Man, I don't know what I'd do with all that power. [lol]

These guys are brilliant. Everything I've heard of theirs (which is most of it) has at least been good, IMHO. smile Also, they have an album called I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being the Master. That alone would make them awesome, but they actually have the songs to back it up. I'm most familiar with Fire, though. Classic album, listened to it MANY times.

"Dance Commander", "Improper Dancing", "Naked Pictures Of Your Mother", "Gay Bar" and "Danger! High Voltage" are my favorites songs of theirs. tongue

Okay so Electric Six is releasing a two disc set called Mimicry & Memories. Memories will contain rarities and Mimicry will contain covers.

Kinda interested in the Mimicry track list.

1. One (Harry Nilsson)

2. The Warrior (Patty Smyth and Scandal)

3. The Look (Roxette) - Smorgasbord selection

4. Ah Leah (Donnie Iris) - Dick Valentine selection

5. Buckingham Green (Ween) - Da Ve selection

6. I Got The Six (ZZ Top) - Tait Nucleus? selection

7. Do You Love Me? (Kiss) - Percussion World selection

8. Girls Want To Be With The Girls (Talking Heads) - Johnny Na$hinal selection

PLUS up to 4 additional songs to be determined by pledgers

"Ah Leah" works so well as an Electric Six song it's not even funny.

That kickstarter got me thinking what would be good for them to cover in their unique disco-metal style. here are some ideas.

The Doors - Changeling

Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

Nick Cave - Red Right Hand

Dio - Holy Diver

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - FIRE. grin

I'd like to see them cover "Burn" by Deep Purple

It's an awesome rock song, and we get to hear Dick say "Deveal's sperm".
