Electric Six
Electric Six has done it again. For the eighth time in nine years, we are releasing a full-length record. This year's record is called "Heartbeats and Brainwaves" and it will be released this fall by Metropolis Records in North America and Too Many Robots in the UK and Europe.
"Heartbeats and Brainwaves" marks a turning point in Electric Six's self-imposed continuum. We have often said that 90% of our songs are about nothing. On "Heartbeats and Brainwaves", 100% of the songs are about something or someone. Electric Six is finally taking a stand. Electric Six will no longer sit idly by and say nothing. We are saying something here. Finally.
You need to come see us on our "Hello, Destructor!" tour this fall. We will be selling copies of "Heartbeats and Brainwaves" not just to make money for ourselves, but so we can finally tell you how we really feel. The tour dates are listed on this site. Look and see which one is best for you.
This album is our finest hour. It is less than an hour long, but it is fine.
Now we are finished with that, we turn our attention to mall bitches. They are everywhere. They are at the Oakland Mall right now. They exist only to cause problems, to create fundamentalist chaos. A young girl is abducted by monks and goes through a candlelight ceremony known as "The Bitchening" where she is transformed by radical priestess and fundamentalist clerics into a mall bitch. She then spends the rest of the summer at the mall hating....constantly hating. Why does she hate like that?? Answer...she's a bitch now. She has gone through a radical transformation known as "The Bitchening" with robes, chanting monks, metal slab, skull, bottomless pit and ambient lighting. She will spend the entire summer at the mall....bitching. Daddy's little girl is gone forever. She is now and forever...a bitch. And she will grow up to be a radical fundamentalist bitchwoman, taking men's jobs, emasculating society from the outside in. The mall...is their hive.

Little Hurricane
As a weather pattern forms its shape and sound out of the unknown and invisible into something tangible and rare, so does the dirty blues force "little hurricane". This storm began when CC hung up her chef knives for drumsticks and turned to Craigslist for collaborators. Tone, a songwriter and audiophile could see something different in her drumming and energy. Together they began their musical outlet crafting songs in CC's living room that within months thousands would relate to and appreciate.
Staying true to the living room vibe, the pair sets the stage with vintage furniture (complete with built-in speakers), microphones, instruments and lamps. You can almost feel the warmth from the tubes emanating from the ratty old suitcase guitar amps. Their equipment's expanded in the many months since—CC even started singing alongside spare bursts of mandolin and harmonica—but the San Diego duo's bruised sound is still rooted in restless rhythms and heated hooks on their self-released debut album, Homewrecker. That goes for everything from the seamless call-and-response choruses and windswept strings of "Give Em Hell" to the curlicue chords and doomsayer drums of "Crocodile Tears." And then there's "Haunted Heart," a single that's already landed on modern rock stations and Gossip Girl telling a story of love from beyond the grave.
As for how all of this sounds onstage, you might want to ask the fans who've been floored by Little Hurricane's dirty blues sets in the past year, from dust-kicking festival crowds at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits to more intimate, buzz-stirring residencies in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz. That's when the band's raw power truly kicks in—when you're in their sights and they've got every last amp cranked alongside shabby thrift store finds and moody lights.
"By the end of our set the 'home' we've created on stage is literally wrecked," CC and Tone explain, "with both of us dripping in sweat and looking like a hot mess. It's more rock 'n' roll than the record. With all the rattling that comes from our homemade speaker cabinets, you really feel the dirtiness live. We give it all we've got, and we never hold anything back."

Starwood
S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D: Sociopathic Time Altering Robot Warrior Of Organic Design
Sent back in time from Planet Vitrus moments before the planet’s destruction in the year 2776 A.D, Gabriel Starwood was created to alter the time continuum in an attempt to control the ever expanding Human Race: intergalactic cosmos devourers and the eventual destroyers of Vitrus. As an advanced cyborg capable of entering and controlling the human body via nanotechnology, Gabriel has inhabited historically influential Earthlings since the dawn of man, from Jesus Christ and Joan of Arc to Angela Davis and The Marquis De Sade.
Accompanied by a small, yet crucial team of Vitruvian Androids, the Propaganda Performance module of the S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. mission has taken form as a “Cyber Rock” quintet. Raising the awareness of mankind for the sake of the cosmos, a typical S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. performance centers on the values of the Vitruvian species, their eventual destruction at the hands of the expansionist hordes, and the S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. prototype’s mass manipulation of the Human race.
The quintet is comprised of a classical pianist, an effected bass guitar, an analog synthesizer, looped and effected vocals, and drums. Theatrical in presentation, primal in execution, and psychedelic in nature, the resulting sound is equal parts burlesque, electronic, avant-garde, and classical.
