According to the NME the Electric Six have split and reformed and will continue their current tour with a new line-up. With second single 'Gay Bar' sitting at number five, the Detroit five-piece have said goodbye to guitarists Rock and Roll Indian, Surge Joebot and bassist Disco, and welcome in Johnny Na$hinal, The Colonel and Frank Lloyd Bonaventure - singer Dick Valentine and drummer M will remain.
A statement from the band said: "This decision was made by all of the previous incarnation of the band on the eve of their last UK tour but has been kept under wraps until now. After fulfilling all their remaining commitments, Rock'n'Roll Indian, Surge Joebot and Disco have departed. The current band is fully comprised of residents of Detroit City and already out on the road."
