anyone into the eels besides me?..i am going to see them in philly the mon. before roo..
has anyone been to any of the first few gigs?..i heard E is really "scruffy" looking and they are rocking the joint on this tour as opposed to a chill night w/ a string section (like last tour).

I saw them on....crap, I don't remember what talk show, maybe Conan....and they did a great version of I'm Going to Stop Pretending I Didn't Break Your Heart.
Based on that performance I'd say the descriptions you heard were accurate.

Check this out..cam across a pic of E's new look..apparently they are trying to imitate the "electric mayhem" band from the muppets..this pic compares e to "Floyd Pepper" the bass/guitarist from the muppets...EELectric Mayhem..hahaa works for me.
I love 'em. Saw them at the Metro in Chicago a few years back. Great show (esp. with Chris Gore, PJ Harvey's old bassist in with them). The opening act for that show was... a mime! It was hilarious.

Yeah, that's pretty much what he looked like.
I don't know if I'd say they "rocked" the song, but there was some added muscle. Actually, I saw it late at night, buzzed so I can't really give you much of a description other than I was pleasantly surprised. You should be able to find it here....

Never heard of 'em until I looked at this year's sched. Now I can't stop listening to them. Beat Me reminds me of everything that was cool about metal in the 80's (OK just dated myself) w/o any of the crap. My 2 yr old and I were rockin out to "Don't Say Fuck" today in the car (I'm dreading the calls from the kindergarden teacher we're goin to get...)

nah man, we're talking about "the eels" not "Electric Eeal Shock"..
although, i agree, i never heard of "Electric Eel Shock" until they were announce and i am very intrigues..could be a real high energy show.
