"Meat The Band" No...that's not a spelling mistake...see 'Don't Be Afraid of the Robot'! So who are Electric Six? Electric Six (formerly The Wildbunch) are a band from Detroit, Michigan. Formed in 1996, they started off small by playing at local clubs before making the big time in 2003 after signing to a UK record label. They've so far released three studio albums after 2003 - Fire, Senor Smoke and Switzerland. For a more detailed history, click the 'history of the band link' on the left menu. Band Members It seems that there's nothing quite as fluid as the membership of Detroit bands. The table below is an attempt to gather the bands the main members of The Wildbunch / Electric Six have been in. Some members were only in bands for a short time, some only on live performances. Other E6 'associates' such as Jack White and Troy Gregory have popped in and out of bands too. To see how the band has changed over the years, click here. Current members Copyright Pieter M.
