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.

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

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.
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.
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.

The Doors - Changeling
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Nick Cave - Red Right Hand
Dio - Holy Diver
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - FIRE.

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".

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