Electric Six + Kitten + New York Rivals

Detroit's Electric Six celebrates pop music's primal virtues, with a sense of humor. The band's brand of balls-out disco-punk often attracts the novelty label; but while there are laughs to be had on every E6 record, this band's style and virtuosity resist joke-rock oblivion. Put on your dancing shoes and expect to hear from the just-released Heartbeats and Brainwaves.
