I don’t know what that 10% is about, any more than the 90%. This is how I figure it: I couldn’t write 100% about anything, even if it’s nothing, so that 10% is just a margin of error. What are the other 10% about? The other 10% is just process of elimination… I don’t analyse what they’re about. You, on the other hand, have been quoted as saying ‘90% of our songs are about nothing at all’. Wikipedia says that your songs are about ‘Macho flippancy, hypersexuality, fire and fast food’. Caught somewhere between fire, fantasy and flat-out parody, James Harle converses with lead singer Dick Valentine, on the road for his current solo-tour. Far from being a one-hit-wonder, however, the garage/disco/punk new-wavers have been touring and releasing their own distinctive and uncategorizable albums for over a decade.

Detroit-based six-piece band Electric Six are probably best remembered for their 2003 singles Gay Bar and Danger! High Voltage.
