Saw The Electric Six on Wednesday night in Camden.
Was concerned that they were a novelty act with 1 song and would do that for an encore after 30 mins of bland rubbish I didn't like.
Well, I'm happy to report I was wrong.
They played for an hour and it was one of the best gigs I've been to for a while. I would say that High Voltage is one of their weaker songs, picked up for a radio single because it's catchy etc etc, but the others they played were much much better.
A lot more rock than I was expecting, the standout songs for me were "Improper Dancing" and "Naked Pictures of Your Mother". The guy in the video snogging the granny is the singer, not a fan who won a competition at all. He's a superb frontman, with the rest of the band being cool as only American's can with shades, cigarettes and geetars slung low.
Encore was Radio Ga-Ga by Queen, complete with the handclaps from audience and screaming Brian May solo, conducted with one foot on the monitor and lots of "my guitar is a machine-gun" audience pointing from baldy shades-wearing guitar man.
Thoroughly recommend seeing them if you get the chance and I'm looking for the album, because they're definitely *not* a one-joke band with a novelty single.
Oh, and whoever said it was a remix-version in the chart? Rubbish, they played it note-perfect 20ft from me.
"I'm a Superstar in the gay bar"

I've heard "Gay Bar", I think it's called. Wasn't too impressed, but it's not exactly a lot of songs I've heard.
And it's supposed to be the voice of the lady who is a fan, not the man. The voice that sounds like Jack White.

Its odd. there is something really sexy about straight men kissing each other.

I just imagined you in a gay bar dressed up in a pink velvet suit and ordering babycham.
It created a huge mental conflict.

It had better be, as it's pure junk.
