Here’s the full quote:
Here it is! The audio book version of the classic pornographic thriller Chinatown Reacharound!!! I am the narrator. This baby clocks in at slightly over 2 hrs. of thrills, chills, mystery…and gratuitous sex. You wanted it…you got it….best enjoyed with headphones, curled up by the fire, sipping on a bottle of MD 20/20. Only $6.99!!!!!
Dick Valentine has announced on Facebook that a third solo album – entitled ‘Hero Come The Bags’ is to be released in spring.
Including some acoustic tracks and some tracks recorded with William Bates, and even more with John Nash, the album will be supported with a tour in April or May.
You can read the full quote below:
ANNOUNCEMENT! With all the hubub and chatter about my kickass literary career, through the endless requests for info on how to download my party planners and pornographic thriller novel, it’s easy to forget sometimes that I’m an accomplished singer/songwriter. I am pleased as punch to announce that I have finished recording my 3rd solo release “Here Come The Bags!” and I anticipate a release on iTunes and Amazon sometime in the next couple of months.
Though there are a couple straight-up acoustic tracks on this one, this is not a purely acoustic album like the first two. That is to say, there is electricity. Twelve songs….five songs were recorded in New York with William Bates, five songs were recorded in Detroit with The White Wolf, one was written by my good friend Mark Mallman therein which he performed all the music and I just sang the inspirational, yet depressing lyrics that he wrote, and for shits and giggles I’ve done one myself on Garage Band. That’s twelve songs, baby! That’s “Here Come The Bags!” I can’t wait to get it to you. But I have to wait a bit. That’s just how it is.
I am in the process of getting a solo acoustic tour of the UK for late April/early May. At this time you can reach into my bag and grab a physical copy of “Here Come The Bags!”
And remember, when the time comes and you want to throw a “Here Come The Bags!” listening party, I have the perfect party planning guide to help you plan your listening party. Message me for details on how to get it…..

A post on Electric Six’s official Facebook page has confirmed that recording and mixing of the upcoming Kickstarter compilation is complete, with March still pencilled in as the availability date.
See the full quote below.
Crazies…the “Mimcry & Memories” project continues to march toward completion. Recording is done…mixing is completed…mastering is near the finish line. Books have been compiled and ordered. Mixtapes and remixes are in the can. Dinners have been held and private concerts have been performed.
We draw closer to the point we can share all of this with those of you who participated in and supported this project. We’re still looking to be on track for a mailout in March and we’ll keep you posted.
From their Facebook page:
Hey Crazies…Electric Six wanted to let you know that studio album #11 is a go! Work is commencing and you’ll get all the details as to title, release date, etc. as information becomes available. For now, look for a fall release via our friends at Metropolis.
On Saturday 1st November the Strictly Come Dancing band did their own version of Electric Six’s breakthrough hit ‘Danger! High Voltage’ as Pixie Lott and her dance partner Trent Whiddon danced the tango to get them through to the next round of the hit BBC reality dance show.
Watch their performance – and the song – using the link below.
Electric Six have posted a question on their Facebook page, gathering opinion on whether fans would buy a special collection of ten vinyls – covering all the major albums from ‘Senor Smoke’ to ‘Human Zoo’.
The fan reaction seems to have been overall positive.
See below for the full post.
A question for Crazies…if Electric Six were to offer a special, limited edition set of all 10 of the Metropolis era albums (counting “Human Zoo”) on 180 gramvinyl, with unique artwork (so different artwork than the vinyl editions which were released previously in the instances where vinyl was done), is that something a Crazy would be interested in? As a set, mind you, not individual albums. Feedback would be appreciated. Figure around $200-$250 (plus shipping) as a price point for 10 albums.
