Dick Valentine Intends to Play a Few Shows in June
BROOKLYN, NY, May 15 -- While Electric Six is dormant in the month of June, Dick Valentine is getting out there a bit. You can catch his one-man acoustic act on June 26th at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA and on June 28th at The Black Cat in Washington, D.C.
And for something completely different, on June 14th at T.T. The Bears in Cambridge, MA, he is debuting The Dick Valentine Band, featuring three members of an E6 fave...Boston's own Mighty Tiny. The DV Band will be playing Valentine's original songs from Machinima's TV show "Bite Me". Many of these songs sound like Roky Erikson and/or Scorpions, so, you know, you need to be there.
Just Because....A Video for Psychic Visions
Electric Six is happy to present its first official video in 3 years for the song Psychic Visions. This is a song off of an album we released 8 months ago for a song we've never played live. Why are we doing this? Just because. Because some songs tell stories. This one sort of does, so we went with it. Also because we are a band that is used to doing something all the time and when we took the winter months off for the first time in 6 years, we panicked and decided to do something, even though we had planned on doing nothing at that time.
This video was shot in Portland, Oregon and was directed by Justin Lowe who was part of the team that did our video for "There's Something Wrong With Us (So Let's Go Out Tonight)" many years ago. Enjoy!
