thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good Article]] nomination 

message: I think the first section of the article gives the wronge impression the music:
"Electric Six is a six-piece Detroit-based rock band that plays a mixture of "garage, disco, punk, new wave, and metal."[2] "
This gives the impression that they play some garage, some disco, some metal and some punk. This is a misapprehension of Heather Phares biography of Electric Six at allmusic.com. What she says is and I Quote:"Electric Six mix garage, disco, punk, new wave, and metal into cleverly dumb, in-your-face songs like "Danger! High Voltage," She means that they have mixed all the music genres, and made songs like "Danger! High Voltage"
And the first section should therefor be changed to:
"Electric Six is a six-piece Detroit-based rock band that mix "garage, disco, punk, new wave, and metal."[2] into energetic music"

thread_title:  Genre 

message: During live shows in the Fall of 2007 Dick Valentine has taken to erroneously reporting the death of Larry King as he opens the set.  Saw it tonight (Nov 30) in Dallas and it's been reported in other locations as well.
: in STL, he reported the death of Larry Flynt. Stage banter doesn't make for encyclopedic data, tho.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.135.236.246 (talk) 07:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Former Members 

message: Is electric six considered an important enough band to make lists of what members were in the band over which periods of time? Is there someone who can do this? I simply don't know enough about who left when, and who changed which instrument at what time. Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.189.108.178 (talk) 21:47, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Previous band members 

message: I've removed the section on the live album, mainly because it doesn't have a source. As someone else on this page said "Stage banter doesn't make for encyclopedic data."
I have heard them saying the same thing in Belgium, and over there I just assumed it was a way to excite the audience (it worked). Not saying my quote should be included, it's original research.

thread_title:  Live album 

message: The dates given for the band's early career (in the section "Formation and the Wildbunch Years") are clearly inconsistent. It states that the band was formed in 1999, but played "throughout the later half of the 90s" and had a "temporary split at the end of the 1990s." Unless the band was playing before they were formed, it sounds like (at the very least) 1999 is the wrong date. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a reliable source that states when the band was formed; wikisix.co.uk says they formed in 1995 as The Wildbunch, but since that's another wiki I can't very well cite it as a source. Does anyone know when the band was actually formed, or if there's a way to mark the dates as "wrong" (to alert readers of the article) without knowing the correct alternative? --Mad Scientist (talk) 02:06, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
