Tom and Tom from video production company Mad Habit Creative join us to talk about their work in progress which is a mockumentary about local band The Electric Six.  They stopped by the podcast on their way to the Freep Film Festival where the film is entered.  Electric Six member Tyler Spencer adds some very colorful commentary via phone from Brooklyn.  Find out how he lives on 350 calories a day.

This is the pilot episode of Playing Rock Star, a show about living the rock and roll dream, over and over again. In this episode, host Joel Frost “joins” Electric Six as an extra member and plays their hit “Gay Bar” live, with the band, at their show at The Middle East, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

A video dating from 2012 has been found on YouTube by members of our Electric Six Facebook group.

The video – a pilot for a potential Kickstarter campaign – doesn’t appear to have led to a full video but you can see the pilot online now.

You can now listen to two tracks from Electric Six’s upcoming album over on ReverbNation.

We’ve also updated the lyrics now for Roulette! and Electric Six!.
