But what they do present is a well-honed celebration of everything that's sacred and truly great about timeless rock 'n' roll - image, energy, and a tanker-load of unbridled performance. We obey, and the soiree soon settles in a sheer state of utter disappointment that it had to end so suddenly (after forty or so minutes).īut they've proven all they needed to the Electric 6 may not mark a band of political-righteousness (well, aside from disparaging onstage remarks regarding their president and Chelsea Clinton), nor a group of individuals with a consensus to change music.
With an encore-break ensuing and a rousing cover of Queen's 'Radio Ga Ga' marking their return - complete with audience claps in the correct timeframe - it ends in a blizzard of turgid guitar-noise and synth-indoctrination as we're ordered to bellow after our leader, 'I'm a demon and I love rock 'n' roll'. 'Continue.' And so it does) serving as 'amusing' to say the least. Elsewhere, the material proves often as rapturous and as proudly fun-loving as their previous triumph, with Dick's interruptions mid-song to point out where solos are to kick in, or where the music is to halt and soon reconvene ('Stop,' he announces in a momentary bout of silence. Electric Six - 'Yah Mo B There' (Official Music Video) Watch later. Obviously, you'd think that they'd be stuck aside from this.
It's, of course, the moment of the night, not even counting the hilarious instant where Valentine removes his suit-jacket and shirt, revealing underneath a modest vest which declares, 'Sexy & Rich'. Cross-Dressing Voices: You know who the female backing vocalist on the studio recording of 'DangerHigh Voltage' is Jack White. The floor shakes as hundreds jump in unison and the band try distinctly hard to hold back the smirks of glee. Creator Backlash: Although they dont hate the song (as Dick once said, 'it pays his mortgage'), 'Gay Bar Part Two' is a clear, tongue-in-cheek attack on the fans that are only interested in 'Gay Bar'. And none more so can come as partied-up as their sole hit, and debut anthem, 'Danger! High Voltage' - a track received so ecstatically that the roars surrounding its arrival prove dumbfounding and ear-distressingly deafening. Musically, it really combusts amidst the frantic heavy-metal of upcoming single, 'Gay Bar', the audience finally igniting the mosh-pit we all needed, thus ensuring that this whole affair wouldn't be too much of a head-scratching, arms-folded assessment the band aren't about analysis: they're conjurers of shameless party music. Immediately launching into the humped-up flare of 'She's So White', Dick Valentine and his back-up consortium of (genuine) characters (just look at sunglasses-clad guitarists The Rock 'n' Roll Indian and Surge for such evidence) are in porn-director sleaze mode, smoking seedily and flailing around in a fashion that would make Elvis scream. This evening, a sell-out weeks in advance, sees hundreds of Oxfordian students perplexed and eagerly keen from the outset (notably warmed up by fascinating, bust-a-move support-act Zongamin, also on the 6's XL Recordings imprint). Whereas anyone else currently riding the US-resurgence wave of crossover guitar-dance would find it quite impossible to generate hysterical reactions such as the one willingly swung over tonight, the Detroit sextet seemingly produce such a reaction night-after-night.
