Electric Six, a pre-bailout phenomenon from Detroit, launched their three month "Rent is Too Damn High" tour in Grand Rapids, MI on September 15th, 2010.
Their blend of rock, disco, and r&b with hip hop sensibilities has been a huge hit in the right circles for some time. They are very genuine, unique, and creative. Between Dick Valentine's stage antics and the musical prowess of the group as a whole, a night with E6 is a very pleasing and entertaining experience.. filled with a dirty danger that is hard to find anywhere else.
I highly recommend an Electric Six show anywhere to anyone looking for something new.
