Building a fanbase while touring can take time, something Electric Six co-founder Dick Valentine knows a thing or two about after two decades on the road. “Each year I think Houston is a better and better place to be. Some of the earlier shows that we had were kind of...
“It’s like one of the Egyptian pyramids really, so now we are really getting to the point where we are ascending the throne of Houston rock. We've done the legwork and put in our time so when you see us it'll be the culmination.

Valentine describes how the band amassed a huge catalog of original songs realizing after 13 years that they had enough music to tour on for a long time if not forever. In 2020, Electric Six was working to release another yearly banger when the whole world stopped. “We are kind of a smorgasbord and that's always been the idea,” describes Valentine who along with long time members keyboardist Tait Nucleus? and guitarist Johnny Na$hinal writes the band's songs.“When we sit down to do a record we just do the 12 to 15 songs that we wrote that year. We don't sit down and say we're going to do this type of record or that type of record, so if we have a country song fused between a bunch of dance synth numbers, that's fine.
“That’s a big part of it, people burn out. Most of the time people leave amicably but some of the time they don't, but either way people leave and you just move on with other people who are fresh to it and want to do it. That said, there's three of us who have done it for twenty years and we still get along famously and want to keep going.”
