The other night I was getting my monthly dose of Hell & brimstone Good Ole Religun from St. Paul (Janeway) & his Birmingham Broken Bones. One of the songs, "The Last Dance" put me in mind of Electric Six. I used to binge on their music back in the early Aughts but haven't listened to them in years. I guess none of their later releases grabbed me like their first two & I just drifted away. I dug out Danger! High Voltage & Fire & indulged in some rock nostalgia.
Electric Six are essential American hard rock. They are definitely the Hell & brimstone to St. Paul's salvation, but Dick Valentine (Tyler Spencer)'s vocals grab me like Paul Janeway's & the Electric Six create music on par with the Broken Bones (a sadly much under-rated outfit). For any of you who haven't visited the E6 in a while, here's two to you.
