ELECTRIC SIX – US disco-punk act return to the UK for ‘Born To Be Ridiculed’ tour

They’re back. Again. Electric Six, the Detroit based ‘disco-punk band at the end of the world’, arrive in the UK next week for their annual autumn tour bonanza, with frontman Dick Valentine stating of this latest visit:

“They say the only constant…is change. But, ‘they’ are wrong….because Electric Six has been up on you constantly…and nothing has changed. You know you need to attend this year’s Electric Six show in your town because you know deep down that Electric Six is the only band that has completely re-written the rules of time, change and rules.

Nineteen albums into this dirty business, Electric Six brings the year-end party to you….it is a constant…and it will never change. Come witness the BORN TO BE RIDICULED tour as Electric Six changes nothing about it’s tried and true formula for a good time! You might even touch Dick Valentine’s sensual hand.”
