Enjoy volting ambition

From the South Wales Argus, first published Friday 25th Feb 2005.

"IT'S got a good beat, and it fills me with some anxiety," says Dick Valentine, frontman of psycho torture disco band, Electric Six.

Falling from the same cloud as The Pebbles psychedelic hits series, with a bad batch of Abba on the brain, the Electric 6 seem dead set on resurrecting the 60s and 70s.

Their slick, manicured Electric Prunes/Byrds image matched with pristine vintage guitars straight from the High Street sets the tone for the rock 'n' roll reprisal.

The fact that they are from Detroit adds vintage Motor City spice, with synths and doses of punk attitude stirred in for extra cool.

Electric Six play Cardiff Uni Thursday, March 3. Tickets are £12. Dial 029 2078 1458 for info.
