Review by: Esali Dot

The group famed by the hit “Gay Bar” and “Danger High Voltage!” have struck gold yet again with their new album Heartbeats and Brainwaves. The album as a whole is versatile by nature, venturing out from the previous album Zodiac. One of the characteristics of Electric Six is they never fail to bring in diversity, and Heartbeats and Brainwaves brings just that.

:Interview: theSTART

This interview was conducted back on August 18th, 2007


Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller of theSTART are great people. I just wanted to state that.

We were supposed to conduct our interview before the show started but some scheduling conflicts got in the way. I saw Aimee between their set and The Birthday Massacres’ set but she was busy greeting fans at the merch booth so I figured we could wait. Once the show was over I made my way back to the merch booth and asked Aimee if we could do the interview. She graciously agreed, grabbed Jamie to drag along and off to the backstage area we went.

So, without further ado, here’s the interview.
