Biography

Los Angeles, California, United States (1995 – present)

Eels is an American / band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as “Mr. E” or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan ‘Butch’ Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name “Eels” was chosen so that the band’s records would be close to E’s solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak. Later albums include Hombre Lobo (2009), End Times (2010), Tomorrow Morning (2010).

Central band member E (born in 1963) grew up experimenting with music in the Washington D.C. suburbs and later moved to Los Angeles, California, United States emerging as the frontman of a band, calling Eels a vessel for his music. Though other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage, their live shows include interesting interpretations of older songs, and usually some well-known covers.
