Warning! Danger! High Voltage! They want to take you to a gay bar, gay bar, GAY BAR…Back once more in York for your annual dose of the Electric Six raucous, funny, slicked-back pop juggernaut. Utterly joyous. And who the heck else other than Detroit’s Electric Six can write about their favourite cleaning fluid, the joys of being a graphic designer – or just Switzerland?
