Los Angeles, California, United States (1996 – present)

Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as “Mr. E” or simply E. Born in 1963, he 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. 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.

E solo records
A record was released in 1985 by Mark Everett called Bad Dude in Love. Not much is known about the LP, all information found is located at eels.nl. In 1992, he released his first solo album (under the name E) titled A Man Called E on Polydor. The single “Hello Cruel World” was a minor success. Touring to support this album, he opened for Tori Amos. A Man Called E was followed by Broken Toy Shop in 1993; This year he was also joined on stage by drummer Jonathan ‘Butch’ Norton. After Broken Toy Shop E was released from his record deal with Polydor.

Beautiful Freak
When Butch and E met Tommy Walter, they founded Eels. The main reason for this name was so that the band’s records would be next to E’s in an alphabetical ordering. It was only later that they realized that The Eagles would fall in between. They signed a record deal with Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks, being one of their first bands.
