Hailing from Detroit, MI, Electric Six quickly made a name for themselves with the hit singles “Gay Bar” and “Danger! High Voltage” in the United Kingdom and United States. Their second album, Señor Smoke, was released in early 2005 on Rushmore/Warner in the UK. Garnering much acclaim with the UK press, the band was brought to the attention of Metropolis Records who were interested in broadening the scope of music they released.
