BiO :
Although Eels are often marketed as a full-fledged band,
singer/songwriter E (real name: Mark Oliver Everett) is
responsible for the group's sound and direction. Born in
Virginia on April 9, 1963, Everett became interested in
rock music at an early age via his sister's record
collection, and began playing drums at the age of six (as
well as tinkering on his family's piano). As the years
progressed, Everett began leading a troubled teenage
life, which was further complicated by his father's death.
However, the turmoil led to an even stronger interest in
music, as he taught himself how to play his sister's
guitar and began writing his own original compositions.
(Tragedy would later form the catalyst for Eels' magnum
opus, Electro-Shock Blues.)
Due to the fact that several of his friends also were
named Mark, it was also around this time that Everett
began going by his initials -- and eventually, solely by
the letter "E." By his early twenties, E was recording
demo material on a used four-track cassette recorder, and
eventually decided to pursue his rock & roll dreams by
relocating to Los Angeles. Due to his prolific
songwriting, the quality of his tunes naturally began to
improve, which led to a recording contract as a solo
artist for Polydor Records. This was followed by a pair of
underappreciated releases, 1992's A Man Called E (which
was supported with a tour opening for Tori Amos) and
1993's Broken Toy Shop, before E left the label and formed
Eels along with bassist Tommy Walter and drummer Butch
Norton. The trio inked a deal with the then-newly formed
DreamWorks label and issued their debut, 1996's Beautiful
Freak. The album spawned a sizable MTV/alternative radio
hit with "Novocaine for the Soul," its promo clip received
three MTV Video Music Award nominations the following
year, and the group's popularity rose in England
(resulting in a Brit Award, which was presented to the
group by goof metallists Spinal Tap).
What should have been a time of great promise for E turned
out to be one of tragedy, as both the singer's sister and
mother passed away in quick succession. This was
compounded by Walter's departure from the group. The dark
mood resonated in Eels' sophomore effort, Electro-Shock
Blues, which proved to be stronger than its predecessor
yet failed to fuel much commercial success. With new
bassist Adam Siegal in tow, the group toured behind the
album's release before returning to the studio immediately
afterward to work on a third album. Issued in 2000,
Daisies of the Galaxy offered a slightly brighter outlook
and featured a guest appearance from R.E.M.'s guitarist
Peter Buck, who also helped co-pen a track. Despite the
album's commercial failure, E put together "the Eels
Orchestra" and launched an international tour in support
of its release. The six-piece band featured saxophone,
trombone, trumpet, banjo, guitar, violin, upright bass,
piano, melodica, clarinet, and timpani -- to make it work
on-stage, each bandmember was required to play three to
four different instruments each night.
After a live recording of the 2000 Eels Orchestra tour, Oh
What a Beautiful Morning, was issued via the group's
official website, E began preparing for Eels' fourth
studio release. Instead of penning the entire album by
himself (as he'd done with the group's previous work), E
turned to John Parish for help. The two created
Souljacker, which was issued throughout most of the world
in September 2001 and hit American shores early the
following year (in the U.S., the first edition of the CD
also contained a bonus four-track disc). The resulting
tour saw E and Norton joined by multi-instrumentalist
Parish, as well as new bassist/synthesizer player Koool G
Murder. A live disc, Electro-Shock Blues Show, followed
soon after to promote the tour.
Spring 2003 began a flurry of Eels/E-related releases,
beginning with MC Honky and his SpinART release I Am the
Messiah. While the man behind Messiah's splattering mix of
hip-hop beats, dance grooves, and kitschy samples was
little more than E in DJ drag, the album was nevertheless
an enjoyable slice of summertime fun. E's score for the
indie film Levity arrived in April, and June saw the
release of the Eels' fifth studio album, Shootenanny!. Its
follow-up, 2005's Blinking Lights and Other Revelations,
was an ambitious double album including 33 songs. Eels'
With Strings: Live at Town Hall album, recorded June 30,
2005, documented the New York Town Hall performance during
their 2005 tour of the same name, and another live album,
With Strings: Live at Town Hall, was simultaneously issued
in February 2006 with a concert DVD.
In 2008, Eels released two CD/DVD sets -- Meet the Eels:
Essential Eels 1996-2006, Vol. I and Useless Trinkets: B
Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased 1996-2007. The
band's music also comprised the bulk of the soundtrack for
Yes Man, a comedy featuring Jim Carrey. E then returned to
the drawing board and emerged with Hombre Lobo, a concept
album about desire that arrived in mid-2009, followed
closely by the live EP, The Myspace Transmissions Session
2009.
