| *BAND BIOGRAPHY* "Houston rock five-piece Electric Attitude possesses one of the most apt band names in recent memory. Their abrasive yet danceable blues-inflected style is built upon a foundation of pure rock n’ roll attitude, each element of the music growling defiantly at its listeners as if to dare them to ignore the band. Singer Blake Shepard writhes and struts his way through the funky jungle inhabited by his bandmates, who add a great sense of danger to the proceedings with their spiky riffs and stomping rhythms. “Shot on the Dance Floor,” a libidinous romp laden with deep-fried guitar hooks, will leave you no choice but to give Electric Attitude’s music a shot – where else but the dance floor."--Amorn Bholsangngam - URB Magazine/URB.comABOUT USHouston-based singer Blake Shepard, bassist Kwesi Sackey, and guitarist Jordan Bell formed Electric Attitude in the summer of 2008 to take their individual influences in the genres of rock, blues, funk and soul, and fuse them into a modern sound for crowds to stop standing with their hands in their pockets, and grab somebody and dance. With drummer Mikol manning the skins, and James Murphy on the saxophone, Electric Attitude turned a lot of heads at SXSW 2010, playing 6 shows in 2 days and leaving sweaty dance floors in their wake. Summer 2010 saw EA hit the Midwest on their 12-date “Breakdown and Shake Tour” in support of 2009's EP "Laser Laser Laser Beams", and since then the party hasn't stopped. Next up was an opening slot for Semi Precious Weapons (fresh off a sold-out tour with Lady Gaga), and the winter months will see the band sharing the stage with such diverse National/International acts as Bonobo, Daniel Johnston, Dengue Fever, Built By Snow, Yppah, and Thavius Beck.

Cross-breeding Blake Shepard's lusty, high-pitched yowl and sprawling guitar with thumpingly precise rhythms, "City's Gonna Get You, Sucka!" and "Pistolwhip" stop off at Little Steven's Underground Garage on their way to the dance floor. Potent stuff." --Chris Gray - Music Editor Houston Press |
