Electric Six

Simply a great band that plays well live. Great punk disco rock!

This band puts on a great show. Lots of rock and disco grooves. The whole place was dancing and singing. Great fun, highly recommended!

Good, but I wish we could have heard the vocalist! We all knew the words anyway, but still... Same problem last year, but always entertaining. Love Electric Six!

The Bowery Ballroom was one of the best club venues I've been to, from the between-set tracks picked by the DJ to the lighting and architecture, and the bands that filled the space were well-chosen to play the same stage. Fake Problems delivered decent rock riffs that seemed to flirt with punk and post-hardcore in their style, while delivering a vocal intensity that I haven't seen in a while, and The Constellations and Electric Six exceeded my expectations, even given that Electric six is one of my favorite bands and I could sing along to every song. They threw a party in the purest sense of the word, and as we danced on that dance floor, there were no politicians or celebrities to put us down. The most charisma I have seen in an entire band act in a long time, and a good sense of comedic timing to boot.

This is my second E-6 concert and again they rocked the house. This time, they had two great opening acts with them - "Fake Problems" and "The Constilations". All extremely impressive. Venue worked well for us and it was a great evening out. I'm sure I will not be disappointed in watching another 6-six concert. Great job guys.

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.

great show, strong performance, electrifying overall

Electric Six is fantastic, so high energy - it will not disappoint! Dick Valentine is a fabulous front man being sure to entertain you with his wit just as much as his awesome vocals! If you like rock music and great live bands you owe it to yourself to check out Electric Six!

You haven't seen them? Are you effing kidding me? You must see Electric Six. I have seen them 2 times at First Ave in MPLS, and will go again this November. There is so much energy, Amazing guitar, the music MAKES you move. Love love love the guitars... everybodys doin what they SHOULD be doin. The lyrics are pleasingly witty, and the crowd is a good mix of every kind of human being you can think of, maybe a few more gay guys than other shows, but they make it even more fun. Dick Valentine Rox my Sox. Looking forward to the next show.

Opening bands were awesome. Wanted to enjoy the Electric Six show, but the Grog Shop crowd decided that an all-out mosh pit was necessary, so instead of watching them play, I was forced to have sweaty druk tattooed men bounce off of my chest all night to the tune of "Gay Bar."

It was tottally awesome, i would highly reccomend it to anyone.

Electric Six + Paper Lions was so good! If you have the chance to see them, do it! Its a crazy time and the music just makes you want to move! So good! Electric Six was super together and put on a great show. See it!

it was an ok show. i liked teh first two bands but a 3 opening band show was a little too much...i had to leave after 2 songs in during E6 set because i had to go home to go to be so i could get to bed for work in the morning.

The band was wonderful, it was the first time that i have seen. I would of course see them again. I wanted them to play a little more but due to time they couldn't play much longer. That is the only thing that i didn't enjoy is that they didn't even start playing till after 1130 almost. That is the venue, should have scheduled the show a little earlier.

Millions of Brazilians, The Gay Blades, and Electric Six were all amazing bands. I would recommend them to everyone.

Electric six sounded great and were hilarious!!.... my ears are still ringing with echos of high voltage!

What a great show! E6 always rocks but they played an extra-long set of all their best songs.

Electric Six really tear it down, they have tons of material and just play for an hour straight. Its hard to tell where the pit is at an E6 show because the whole place is dancing and grinding. Great experience. If you like their music even a little bit I wouldnt miss them.

E6, as the hardest-working band in rock and roll today, is always, always on point but this show was especially good. They decided at the final second to scrap their entire setlist and make up a new one for Halloween... after a devil/demon trilogy of Devil Nights, Hello I See You, and When I Get To The Green Building, they dropped the entire album Fire from beginning to end, which they NEVER do. Then they finished strong with a few other "hits." Impressive that they can just reach back 10 years to tunes they probably haven't played live in about that long. The new member Da Ve was doing a great job as well, though of course we all feel a little torn lest we dis the Colonel. Obviously I'm a bit of a fan, so consider that when deciding for yourself. My friend, who digs the occasional listen of an E6 song or two but hadn't seen them before, was totally blown away. My sister, who probably likes a bit more Serious Art in her music, was entertained but not converted. She was in the bathroom for "Naked Pictures (of Your Mother)" and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. That uncertainty is part of the Electric Six essence.

What a great show. New member Da Ve fit right in and the band was up to their usual antics. Lots of energy despite playing at Mercury Lounge two nights in a row. Place was nice and organized, packed but not too much that you were squeezed in.

amazingly funny and an overall great time. wanted to go back to see their second show the next night but had already made other plans.

Each and every time I've seen Electric Six, I have had so much fun, and this concert was no different. They should be far more famous than they are!

A took a while for the show to start (doors @ 7:30, opening band started nearly 2 hours later) but both the opening act, Little Hurricane, and the headliner, Electric 6, absolutely rocked the place. Both bands really seemed to be enjoying themselves on stage. They had a great stage presence, had smiles on their faces most of the show, and had a phenomenal sound. The venue itself, the Basement, was pretty fitting as well. Just a typical rock & roll kind of bar, but it made for a great place to hang out & see some outstanding bands.

As a long time fan of E6, I can say they're still on top of their performance. To music fans unafraid to risk listening a band that combines rock, funk, disco, electronic and whatever they happen to enjoy: you must see them live (and buy their albums)

I saw Electric Six with Andy D and Kitten in Cleveland on November 2nd, so I had to take the drive to Toledo. Dick Valentine had some issues with his voice, but made it up in the way of playing their biggest 2 hits 2 times each ('Gay Bar' and 'Danger! High Voltage'). Andy D tore up what little stage there was, and was hilarious. Kitten was a great band to open for Electric Six. They may have moved up to one of my favorite bands, and I will be highly anticipating their upcoming release. Loved the whole show! It was a great time. I wish I could do it all again!

in my opinion, the most overall entertaining band in the world right now. hit after monster hit - its a crime these guys aren't selling out MSG or NJ's Giant Stadium. they have more talent, drive, & integrity than anything on top 40 radio aside from the Killers- that would be a great show! but i have to admit, i treasure the intimate crowds, but don't be fooled! intimate does not mean timid, arms folded, goatee scratching art intellectuals (although i've seen them rocking out too) - the audience knows how to rock almost as much as Electric Six - but there can be only one - do yourself a BIG favor & see these guys anywhere you can, buy their album doesn't matter which one, they're all great. but even if you know zero songs going in, they win win you over live i guarantee. my name is zompork, & i am a bonafide E6 song-junkie

4th time seeing them and they are stil the best live show around.

Crowd was great and the band played plenty of hits. Quick set up and no problems during the show.

I went to this show for the sole purpose of seeing E6 and they performed just how I dreamed with a 17 song setlist of pure awesomeness. Wasn't familiar with Kitten, they were okay, the female singer seemed really sexual so that was entertaining to watch I guess (lol); but Mark Mallman was hilarious! He put on a show that was truly memorable and was pretty cool for a two man band. But back to E6. There were technical difficulties on the bass players' amp (or something) so Dick Valentine played Jimmy Carter as an acoustic bonus and played synthesizer at the end for a apology for the delay. (I know they were extras because the drummer gave me his setlist) They were all engaging and super fun and I would IMMEDIATELY go see them again.

Show was awesome, I LOVE Electric Six! The guys at the door were kind of rude though.

Running down this list of openers: School Knights, the only thing worse then their cliche name was thie rmusic. They are not fit to carry other peolple's much less play their own. Mark Mallman, combine Freddy Mercury, Elton John, Bonnie Tyler, Jerry Lee Lewis and Meatloaf into one sorta talented but entertaining dude... Kitten, they get some miles behind them and they should be good. I would have liked to see them for a full set and ditch School Knights. Electric Six was awesome. Bassist had an amp blow out, which probably cost us a song. Not the first time I have seen an amp blow out in the venue... might be worht while checking wiring. Sound at The Blue Bird is okay, it sounds a bit run down as compared to The Gothic.

Yes! Dick and the boys were up to their usual greatness. Guitar madness. Hickenlooper. Utah. Synthesizer insanity. Funky-ass bass. Longmont. Zany skins. One Republic. Spencer. Kitten pounding her tamborine on her ample chest. Flashbacks of Christina Amphlett in the early days. Little girl is gonna get whiplash. Pure RnR!

Best concert I have been to in awhile, hands down. They were great, and the opening acts rocked as well. Great job at Birdy's! Recommend them to ANYONE!

Andyd rocked everyone's world. He has so much energy and so few reservations. He definitely won some fans that night. The Constellations were the most relaxed band and they were a very nice ensemble. They had things that were funky, soulful, and chaotic all in one show. The Electric Six might have had the least energy of the night, but their star power was apparent. They were crowd pleasers and the lead singer was an involved showman, cracking jokes and interacting with the crowd.

Electric Six is a great concert to go to if you want to have a fun night out with your friends. We went as a group to celebrate birthdays, and we couldn't have had a better time! The opening acts were fantastic, and all the bands provided a fun-loving atmosphere where I could dance and drink and have a blast. They were personable, and for that I am thankful.

Electric Six at the Grog Shop was an insane show in a wonderfully intimate setting. The three bands preceding Electric Six ranged from alright (Fawn) to amazing (The Constellations) and did a great job of getting the crowd pumped to see Electric Six (I'm sure the ample amounts of Pabst Blue Ribbon didn't hurt either...). There were a lot of drunkards getting into mosh pits which, at first, was frightening, then exhilarating. Once Electric Six started playing some tunes familiar to everyone at the show (like Gay Bar), the whole place erupted into ecstasy. The venue was small, but it was great because of the intimate feel. I was even able to touch members of the bands they were so close. Not only were the bands close during their performances, but afterwords almost all of the performers could be met out on the floor walking around and talking to everyone who stayed. All in all, it was an incredible show.

Bouncy, naughty, rowdy, energy....Electric Six is always a ton of fun!! They played quite a bit of their new album, it's as good as the rest of them. Paired with The Constellations, the night was a perfect capsule of party music to dance to. Super fun!

They played an extended set that was marvelous. The show was high in energy and the music was excellent. I will definitely be going to any more of their shows that pop up in this area.

great music, great time. the grog shop is an awesome place to see a show.

great show. shit box jimmy and the constellations were fantastic opening bands. they could've done without fawn (they were awful) but the opening bands made the 1.5 hour wait for *anything* to start seem a little better. electric six was incredible. would definitely go see again.

I thought the band did a great job. They were talented and entertaining. However, I am disappointed in the lack of security. I was being mauled by a drunk/high guy on the floor and apparently no one else cared. I couldn't fully enjoy the show because I was worried about the safety of my nose ( I can't help it these men were huge!). Plus the concert took forever to get started. I assumed it would start at 9, not 10:30 or however late it actually was. Guess I'm a party pooper.

Good show. Lead man is funny, music was nice and loud. Only downside? They didn't speak any Detroit love. As an away-from-home detroiter, I was disappointed by that.

Excellent! Always a good show with Electric Six, never been disappointed!! And the Culture Room is a small, intimate and excellent venue!!!

Awesome. Blond fuzz was easily forgetable, but the constellations were great. Electric six rocked.

i absolutely loved Electric Six live, they really know how to perform and make fun! will definitely go again!
