I can say, without any doubt, there is really no band out there like Electric Six.  There aren’t many bands who can keep putting out familiar yet distinctive albums on a regular basis either.  While their newest CD Kill isn’t quite as good as last year’s Flashy, I applaud them for some solid moments (including auto-freakin-tune on “The Newark Airport Boogie”).
