Mark Oliver Everett aka. E, the eccentric genius behind Eels is once again bringing his ragtag bunch of musical contemporaries down under in August. You never quite know what to expect at an Eels concert, with previous tours ranging from straight out rock and roll gigs to reserved intimate performances and Metallica-like orchestral shows (although a whole hell of a lot better… they had musical saws!)
This time around, E will be in straight rock mode again, performing Eels classics as well as showcasing songs from the band’s newest album, End Times, possibly their most experimental and autobiographical record to date, which is saying a lot from a performer who frequently uses toy pianos run through guitar stomp boxes and wrote an entire album about the death of his mother and sister.
