Eels

    Information

    On 30 April, the Californian band will be presenting their Lockdown Hurricane tour at  La Riviera for their latest album, Extreme Witchcraft. This band has been a huge name on the indie-rock scene for more than 25 years now, mixing different styles including folk, pop, and good old-fashioned song writing.

    Eels was formed by singer-songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as Mr. E, the leader of the band. As a teenager, thanks to the influence of his sister Elizabeth who played piano, he was drawn to music and formed one of the most relevant indie bands of the time.

    In 1992, he recorded his first solo album for Polydor, called A man called E, which contained the song Hello cruel world that became a hit on the indie charts. To promote his first album he supported American singer-songwriter Tori Amos on her tour.

    With the release of what would be his third album, he decided to rename the band and called it “Eels”, racking up a couple of hits on the indie charts, including Novocaine for the Soul and Susan's house, as well as My Beloved Monster which became part of the soundtrack for the animated film Shrek.

    To date they have released 14 albums allowing us to glimpse different moments in the life of the band's frontman. The latest record, Extreme Witchcraft (2022), has been called their best record since 2014 and the best electric album since 2009, with Learning while I lose being one of the most outstanding tracks on the record.
