Señor Smoke

By Electric Six, 2006

There are times when descriptive adjectives such as "dumb" are not meant in the least bit as negatives. In pop music, these tend to be some of the best times you can have, of course: big, dumb, fun times. Throwing garage rock, metal, and new wave riffs together with disco beats and ironic lyrics, the Detroit-based Electric 6 made a pretty big splash with incredibly stupid and fun songs such as "Gay Bar" and "Danger!High Voltage." Nothing on here quite hits with the force of those hits, and the cover of Queen's "Radio Ga Ga" is so obvious it misses the mark entirely.

But by no means have this act gotten serious or boring: like Urge Overkill before them, E6 know incredibly well how to have rock & roll fun with tongue planted firmly in cheek. If you do as well, you could do far worse than Señor Smoke. --Mike McGonigalDetroit's Electric Six quickly made a name for themselves in the UK and US with hit singles "Gay Bar" and "Danger!High Voltage".

"Senor Smoke" was released in the UK in early 2005 to much acclaim. Metropolis, interested in broadening the scope of music they released, signed the band and is proud to now bring them back to their native soil. "Senor Smoke" blends a mixture of disco, garage, punk, and indie rock with clever (but sincere) tongue in cheek one liners.

Electric Six will change the way you perceive rock in 2006.Electric Six return with the follow-up to their debut Fire, with their new album, Senor Smoke. Including the single "Radio Ga-Ga", it also contains the free internet-only single "Vibrator". Senor Smoke is classic Electric Six floor-filling foot stompers topped off with the band's unique wit, which saw them enter the public's consciousness with the likes of 'Gay Bar' and 'Danger High Voltage'.

    "Future is in the Future" is my favorite off this album, but the whole thing completely rocks. Great beats for dancing, too.
