said: 'My attorney has advised us to neither confirm nor deny the presence of Jack White.' Still, the rumor persisted that White was featured on the song. Both he and Electric Six denied this, and the vocal work was credited officially to the unknown John S O'Leary. The band's 2003 debut Fire (also produced and mixed by Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradbury) earned the group significant critical success, landing the 'Danger! High Voltage' single at number 2 on the UK singles chart. Their second single, ' Gay Bar', released in 2003, reached No. 5 in the UK charts.
The album made it into several best-of-2003 lists, as well as reaching the top 10 in the UK album chart, and another single 'Dance Commander', which gave Electric Six its third Top 40 single in the UK.Īfter finishing the recording of Fire, three members left in June, leaving Dick Valentine, M, and Tait Nucleus?.
