in 2003 with the song 'Danger! High Voltage,' and their debut album Fire, released the same year, earned them a major cult following with tunes like 'Dance Commander' and 'Gay Bar.' From that point on, musicians would come and go from the Electric Six lineup and the proportions of electronics to guitars would shift back and forth from album to album, but their essential formula of dance-friendly rock brimming with bombast and lunacy would never change. After winning a local following as the Wildbunch, Electric Six scored a major hit in the U.K. They found international success through a relentless touring and recording schedule and an unerring commitment to their over-the-top style, delivering energy and absurdity in equal measure. Mixing garage rock, disco, punk, new wave, and metal into cleverly dumb, in-your-face songs celebrating hedonism in multiple forms, Electric Six emerged from the same late-'90s/early-2000s Detroit garage-punk scene that produced the White Stripes and the Dirtbombs.
