	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Electric eel
		The electric eel may be found in the basins of both the Amazon River and Orinoco River, as well as the surrounding areas.
		Electric eels are capable of varying the intensity of the electrical discharge, using lower discharges for "hunting" and higher intensities are used for stunning prey, or defending themselves.
		Although the eels are common in their range and popular draws for public aquaria, the eel's habit of delivering shocks, even when gently handled, means that they are too dangerous for most amateurs to try to keep at home.

	Electric Eels (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Electric Eels were an early proto punk band that was active between 1972 and 1975.
		The Electric Eels later became very influential with the harder-edged East Coast punk groups in the U.S., particularly The Dead Boys.
		The Electric Eels were formed by John Morton (guitar), Dave "E" McManus (vocals, clarinet), and Brian McMahon (guitar), all ex-pupils of Lakewood High School, Cleveland, in 1972.

	Eels play somber songs at the El Rey Theater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The eels are one of the few great Los Angeles bands that have been largely unrecognized by the rest of the country, mostly because of the group's unconventional brand of deconstructed pop and singer/songwriter E's strange melodies and dark, twisted lyrics.
		The musical depth and complexity of the band's live performance was amazing considering that there were only three musicians on the stage.
		The most touching moment of the night came during the last encore as the eels played a poignant cover of Magnapop's "Open the Door," which chronicles the deaths of one's closest friends - something that E is familiar with, as every member of his immediate family died over the past year.

		The Electric Eels fit the caste of this small minority, and their arrival in the midst of a terrible malaise was an affirmation of all the things "punk" would eventually become, a couple of years before there was any tangible evidence that such a consensus would ever occur.
		The Eels are from Cleveland, lodged at the gateway of the Midwest in the middle of the decade, and had the benefit of coming from one of the few cities in America that had a genuine punk uprising long before the fact, a preoccupation the Eels can at least take some credit for.
		The Electric Eels stood at the crux of history, and the fact that they’re still standing is one of several reasons to go out and grab this piece of history and begin to understand how badly everything in the ensuing 25 years has gone wrong.

		Previous Eels albums (Beautiful Freak, 1997 and Electro-Shock Blues, 1998) were comprised of therapeutic songs E wrote after the death of several loved ones and family members.
		The inhabitants of the universe the Eels have created are the kinds of people who trip over daisies growing in the sidewalk; they are comical and delicate, J. Salinger-esque loners staring into the face of oblivion.
		The Eels low-fi approach is a sneaky way of socking you in the gut with a dose of culture.

		E or simply E. He is the frontman of the band, calling Eels a vessel for his music.
		Eels bring on a surprising live act, with every song they play sounding like it would have, had it been on the most recent album.
		In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak: a melancholic pop record, where the lyrics of a tormented Everett shine.

		The band then flew to Minneapolis to remix with producer extraordinaire Bryan Hanna, after which the band turned in final mixes with even more reverb.Band leader Allen Clapp defended the move, replying, "What did you expect when you signed a band from California?" This may explain why the Peels are now dealing with spinART.
		The band was devastated, but coped by eventually adding indie rock veteran John Moremen from San Francisco (Jad Fair, Jimmy Silva, Half Japanese, the Neighbors) to fill in on the skins.
		With the deadline nearing, and the band disintegrating in front of his eyes, singer and songwriter Allen Clapp -- his turntable stacked high with Carole King and Dionne Warwick albums -- penned a desperate plea to his old high school chum.

	Observer Newspaper - Scene
		In this essay, DJ Killingspree welcomes the listener to the fourth studio album from the Eels, calling it "the hardest rocking substance known to man." Although this boast may be a bit hyperbolic, the album does lend itself to some pretty hard rockin' moments.
		The Eels first appeared with their 1996 album, Beautiful Freak, which featured their most popular song to date, "Novocaine for the Soul." That album was drenched in sarcasm towards all things pop and commercial that guitarist/singer, E, could get at.
		The Eels strength is in their softer, slower songs where E's lyrics and the smooth jams of the band are in full swing.

	village voice > music > The Electric Eels' The Eyeball of Hell by George Smith
		Among the many liner notes to the Electric Eels' The Eyeball of Hell, it is told that guitarist John "Broken Hand" Morton relished punching others—either in his band or on the street—in the teeth in 1975.
		The Eels picture shows a fellow resembling Fuzzy Thurston, except with chemically white hair-band-from-Hades 'do—so he was probably quite good at dispensing said shots to the mandible.
		The Eels perform a Teddy-boy "anthem" called "Black Leather Rock," nicked from a Hammer film, and immediately follow it with a "Dead Man's Curve" in which you can hear the singer working on a hiatal hernia as he takes a credible stab at the chorus.

		After collecting a Brit Award, presented to EELS by Spinal Tap, (the award was soon turned into a cymbal stand to illustrate that it was actually worth something), and giving director Wim Wenders the song "Bad News" for the soundtrack to his film "The End of Violence," E experienced a period of great artistic growth.
		Each band member, including multi-instrumentalist/recording artist Lisa Germano, who previously opened many of the 1998 EELS concerts with her own set of songs, had to play an average of 3-4 instruments each night.
		In May, 2005 "EELS with strings" is formed and goes on the road as the first part of two entirely different world tours E stages in the wake of the BLINKING LIGHTS album release.

		When the Smashing Pumpkins were making Mellon Collie, the band was living up to a promise Corgan made to the press, but it was also attempting to revive the double-album art form that was so prominent with '60s and '70s rock.

		System look at it as getting the best of both worlds, as the band hopes that years from now, Mezmerize/Hypnotize will be remembered as a classic double album, even though fans received it in two doses.

		The Electric Eels were there in the beginning, adding their own form of art terrorism to an eclectic mix of music and ideas.
		Weldon gives a good sense of where the band was coming from, a compact history, and some really amusing stories, involving things like attacking the audience with a running lawnmower and wandering into blue collar bars to cause a ruckus.

	Introduction - Jaguar Ride
		Although the frequency of these "autopsies" has continued to increase (in fact, I begin each one of JAGUAR RIDE's two-dozen chapters with an excerpt from a different "coroner's report"), their raw numbers to date have been insufficient to boost us beyond cult status.
		Ironically, an upside of all this obscurity is that the allure of the Eels persists and is even heightened by it (and our limited catalog of songs [30-some] doesn't seem to have hurt much either).
		While popular success continues to elude the Electric Eels (for reasons now available on CD as well as vinyl), the very notion of such a thing — a notion entertained by nearly every other rock band — was not even a trace element in our group's raison d'être.

		One notable development from 'Angelpie.' is that the band have learned to temper their sound - if the guitars and drums sound like they're taking over, Sarah Sheil's sublime keyboards interject with style.
		The sombre, pensive tones of Adrian Crowley on 'Electric Eels' is an unexpected collaboration but it works well.
		The band themselves are not afraid to cite Krautrock as an influence and this is most obvious on the experimental antics of 'King Of Casual Vomit' and the retro keyboards of 'Nuisance Midget'.

		Eels, led by the charismatic Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, sidesteps this issue by combining 1990s-era strings with an unplugged venture that reinvents the early 21st century with big raspy Springsteen-meets-Waits vocals in a stone sober back alley.
		The Eels buzz through an intoxicating 22 trails of tears with nary a note of redundant reductionism.
		Dylan, as he does so often these days, makes an appearance when the band covers “Girl From the North Country” on piano, cello and warm yet wrenching vocals.

	BandAMP: BasketCase
		During this same period, bands that would later be recognized as "punk" were formed independently in other locations, such as The Saints in Brisbane, Australia, The Modern Lovers in Boston, and The Stranglers and the Sex Pistols in London.
		In other cases, the bands or their managers improvised their own venues, such as a house inhabited by The Saints in an inner suburb of Brisbane.
		While the London bands may have played a relatively minor role in determining the early punk sound, the London punk scene would come to define and epitomize the rebellious punk culture.
