Detroit’s Electric Six will bring their unique, bravado-laden magic to songs by other artists on their new album Streets of Gold. The album features covers of songs by INXS, Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper, The Jam, Pixies, Talking Heads, and more. “We did not cover The Vaccines,” E6 note, “though we concede they are uniquely positioned for this moment.” Streets of Gold also features two new versions of their own biggest hits, “Danger! High Voltage!” and “Gay Bar.”

The first single off Streets of Gold is their take on James Ingram & Michael McDonald‘s smooth 1983 R&B hit “Yah Mo B There.” The video, directed by Tom Nahas & Tom Lehrer, is the story of a woman who is fired via Zoom during the pandemic and is presented with a unique new opportunity. You can watch that below.

Meanwhile, the fully vaccinated Electric Six will be on tour for most of the remainder of 2021, with dates starting July 6 in Dubuque, IA and including St Paul, Milwaukee, Columbus, Providence, the NYC-area, Pittsburgh and more. After a month break, dates continue with shows in St Louis, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas, Long Beach, San Jose, San Francisco, Reno, Boise, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Austin, Houston, Tulsa, Ferndale, Flint, and more. They’ll then head to Europe in October. All dates are listed below.

The NYC-area shows are a Rocks Off Boat Cruise on July 17 (tickets), and Asbury Park’s The Saint on July 18 (tickets).

Streets of Gold is out July 30 via Cleopatra (preorder).
