Have you ever seen the music video for “Body Shot?” If not and you don’t know much about Electric Six I recommend you check out the music video here. I was definitely excited to see Electric Six, just from the lyrics and the style of music you knew it was going to be oddly fantastic; and it was! Sound check began with a check, check, check Syphilis, check, check, check Slut; that’s something you don’t hear everyday.
Things started off with I know its Friday night in Spokane and you had a lot of choices but let me tell you… you made the right one. I agree with that statement. Electric Six has a new album out and they pretty much said we need you to buy it so we can make it to Montana! Therefore they played a song of the new album and went to the hits. Playing 18 songs total with a two song encore. Fabulous!
All of the songs were a blast and kind of naughty or as the band said; this is the first all ages show we have had in six years… but we figured kids are human too. The BLVD was fairly full, by the end of the set all of the chairs and booths on the bar side were pushed out of the way because everyone was itching to see what was going on. Pretty sure it was a fire hazard. It was an array of personalities and the band has a following because kids were singing along and busting out some interesting moves. Their was a lot of bouncing and dancing going on, on the stage and on the floor – very energetic feel throughout the room. Made you have fun no matter what kind of mood you were in.
This was the bands first time in Spokane (the city known for Vision Quest and fixing their synthesizer) and I hope they come back because I would love to see the show again. It was packed a punch like Mountain Dew with real sugar and I am pretty much used to disco dancing to their music now.
