The following year the group signed to XL and re-recorded “Danger! High Voltage,” this time adding backing vocals from the White Stripes‘ Jack White. After the re-release of the single in 2003, Electric Six issued their full-length debut album, Fire, later that spring. Just a few weeks after the album’s release, Disco, Rock and Roll Indian, and Surge Joebot left the band and were replaced byFrank Lloyd Bonaventure, the Colonel, and 661453Johnny Na$hinal. In 2004, the band got a new record deal with Rushmore, a British Warner Bros. imprint, and lost Bonaventure and M., whose bass and drum duties were filled by John R. Dequindre and Percussion World, respectively. The second Electric Six album, Señor Smoke, arrived in the U.K. early in 2005. It took another year for the album to be released stateside, on Metropolis Records. Switzerland arrived in fall of 2006 and I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me from Being the Master followed in October of 2007. Early in 2008,Valentine embarked on his American Troubadour solo tour, which included stops in Hamtramck, MI, and Portland, OR; that spring, Electric Six recorded their fifth album, Flashy, in the Colonel‘s studio. Metropolis released Flashy that fall, followed by Sexy Trash, a thirty track album of demos and previously unreleased material, and two new studio albums, Kill (2009) and Zodiac (2010).
