State of the Six Address: Happy Valentine's Day, Bitches! 
BROOKLYN, NY, Feb. 14 -- The following can be attributed to Dick Valentine:Hello! Happy Valentine's Day from Dick Valentine! LOL! I love getting to say that every year! Honestly, what could be radder than a Valentine's blessing from Dick Valentine! I'm the fly-ass pimp from the Rubber Rocket video!!!! You know from that video that I know all about love! My hopes for you on this day are twofold. If you are in love, I hope you love your lover lovingly. If you are not in love, then I hope you stay at home and listen to our records!!! LOL!!! We'll be there for you, no doubt about it!!!! LOL!!!!! Speaking of our records, we are in the midst of recording our seventh studio album right now. Say it with me now....ELECTRIC SIX IS MAKING A SEVENTH RECORD.....WOOOOOOOOO!!! I have to say it is turning into a very positive and happy record. I'm really happy about it. A month ago, I had no idea what the record would sound like. It's a huge relief to know now what it sounds like. And for the first time since the second record, it looks like we will have a cover song on a record. It's a song we've talked about doing for a while now and we are finally doing it. It's a wonderful time to be in Electric Six. What else? Well, besides the fact that Tait Nucleus? is looking more and more like Gene Hackman every day, we are about to travel to Canada for the first time in a while. Canada is second only to North Korea in terms of degree of difficulty for bands to enter. Wish us luck! Oh yeah, we didn't do a Frequently Asked Questions this year because every year we do, people we know always think we are passive-agressively making fun of them on our website and they stop talking to us. Let me assure you that we are cowards, evil cowards, and we only make fun of people we've never met. The last thing we want is for the fragile egos of our paranoid friends to be shattered because we weren't ripping on them in the first place. So, that's the update. Everything is moving along splendidly. We are receiving such wonderful emails these days. It's really wonderful. The outreach. Your thoughts. Your musings. The contact. It's what keeps us going.

Dick Valentine is back and Red Eye's got him
Tune into Fox News LATE Thursday night/early Friday Morning at 3AM Eastern for Dick Valentine's latest appearance on Red Eye. His first three appearances on this panel talk/comedy show have been among the best television he's ever done in our humble opinion, so this is a must see.UPDATE: Due to a scheduling conflict, this appearance will be postponed a few days. Dick Valentine's next Red Eye appearance will be the wee hours of next Monday night/Tuesday morning, Jan. 25/26 nether region.
Canada? Canadone!
Guess what? After 15 long years (or 3, give or take), Electric Six is happy to announce its return to our great neighbor to the North for an extended run of dates in March of 2010. We'll also be hitting select American cities as part of the same tour...check to the right for a list. There will likely be another two or three shows added to the itinerary shortly, so if you don't see your town and you think it should be visited by Electric Six on this tour, close your eyes, spin around at least 42 times, blink, and look again. Repeat as needed until you get the desired result.Oh, and for the record, that is NOT a misprint, Calgary. Electric Six will play not once but twice in your town. Why, you ask? It's either that Broken City cannot possibly contain just one Electric Six show, or certain band members are hoping to run into Lanny McDonald in order to garner some facial hair grooming tips. One of those for sure...
American Troubador to Go All British and Shit
CASPER, WY, Nov. 18 -- Dick Valentine is pleased to announce that he will be performing his one-man solo acoustic version of himself once again at the Blue Cat in Stockport, UK on Thursday, Dec. 10. The performance will take place at 7 p.m. a couple of hours before his band Electric Six (whose site you are currently visiting) plays a gig at the Academy in nearby Manchester.This will be Valentine's third performance at the Blue Cat. Valentine will be UNREHEARSED and NERVOUS AS HELL, which makes him extremely vulnerable and compliant to riduculous demands. Come see the American Troubador in England one more time. Double down on Valentine. You might have a real good time.
