So, with the music, it’s obviously funny. Just like when we were calling ourselves The Wildbunch, we had no idea that there was another Wildbunch out there, you know what I mean?ĭ: We just spent a lot of time sitting around and laughing at ourselves, not really worrying about what other people were doing. There were a lot of things that I didn’t know about at all. W: (laughs) There is a fan of yours that has a site dedicated to you, and it says its for “.Dick Valentine of Electric Six, not the bad actor.”ĭ: Yeah. And I thought, “There’s a cat that could lead a big band, and maybe be involved in some kind of voodoo ritual, as well.” So I was trying to think of a great name, and I just came up with Dick Valentine. Then I watched Angel Heart, and I liked that 1920s crooner type of thing. I had been going by Jackson Pounder at the time, but then I grew very tired of that. W: Is Dick Valentine different than Tyler (Dick Valentine's real first name)?ĭ: Yeah. We’re all terribly weak people, so we need something. W: So, with the band, it seems like pseudonyms are important for you guys-ĭ: Well, it’s a kind of escapism, I suppose. when you took the year off?ĭ: I got offered a pay raise at the company I was working for- I was working for a wire service. And now we have the current line-up, which we see as permanent, and we’re looking forward to the future. Then three people ended up quitting anyway. But nobody really disliked it enough to quit. So, our bass player at the time said, “Well, I was in a band called Electric Four when I was ten years old.” So we just decided on Electric Six, and nobody really liked it. And we sat on that for two or three months, trying to come up with the perfect name, but nobody liked any of them. We got a record deal with XL in 2002, and we were forced to change the name. We started in 1996 as The Wildbunch, and we basically were a local band in Detroit for five years, with the exception of one year, when I lived out in L.A. Wayne: Why don’t we just start by talking about how the first band, The Wildbunch, gave birth to Electric Six.ĭick: Sure.
