Electric Six vocalist Dick Valentine spoke with Time Off magazine about having a stable band line-up for the past two years, which could explain the more restrained tone of their third album 'Switzerland'. "Yeah, that's because we made a lot of money and we're all adults," joked Valentine. "We're drinking a lot of red wine and hanging out with rich people. We're definitely slowing down - we're yuppies. This is our yuppie record. I want those 16-year-old kids to hate us and be calling us a bunch of corporate sell-outs. They'll be shouting 'You sold out!' and I'll be like 'Yep, we did! Try this merlot, it’s fabulous! You'll understand when you're 35!'. We are embracing our thirties - that's what this record's all about." The article at timeoff.com.au has since been removed.

Having the dubious honor of having a far-better-selling opening act on their current tour, She Wants Revenge, Electric Six have a sense of humor the situation. "We tour extensively," singer Dick Valentine tells the Seattle Weekly. "Everywhere we go, we've got 150 people who know every word. We're never going to be Nickelback, but this is the next best thing. If you continually throw these people a bone, you'll be semifamous for life." Read

Audiences at Electric Six's upcoming Australian shows won't hear the new material they've been working on, but Tyler Spencer, aka Dick Valentine, tells Time Off magazine recording for a third album will be underway by November. "We've got most of it written but we haven't rehearsed it as a band yet," he said. "The songs are really strong and I think they're more complex and more mature and I think if we nail this thing the way it's supposed to come off, it'll be the best one yet."
