Another jolt of electricity

I used to really like Electric Six ... back in 2003, when their ridiculous disco-rock schtick was still fresh. Six years later, they're still mining the same territory on their sixth album, Kill, but frontman Dick Valentine and his pals don't care what I, or other former fans, think.

"Electric Six is done trying to not sound like their first record Fire," reads their MySpace page. "Electric Six wants to sound like their first record Fire. Electric Six wants big loud guitars and fuzz basses intertwined with the occasional r&b jam."

Electric Six also wants to return to Edmonton. The Detroit rockers will perform Friday, March 19 at The Starlite Room. Tickets are $14 plus service charges at Ticketmaster, Megatunes, Blackbyrd and Freecloud. On sale: Friday, Dec. 4.

Valentine and his Sixers made their first local stop in 2005, after clearing up some pesky legal issues. At the time, the band was on their second record label. "We're just going to get worse, and eventually, no one will want to sign us," Valentine jokingly told The Journal.
