│ │░
│ EARLY YEARS: │░
│ Dr. Hugh Everett III, Ph.D., was what Scientific American magazine │░
│ calls "one of the most important scientists of the 20th century." A │░
│ quantum physicist who authored The Many Worlds Theory, Everett │░
│ inspired countless science fiction books, movies and Star Trek │░
│ episodes with the concept of parallel universes. As a young teenager │░
│ he exchanged letters with Albert Einstein, debating whether it was │░
│ something random or unifying that held the universe together. │░
│ Until the age of eight, Hugh Everett lived in Washington, DC with │░
│ his mother, Katharine Kennedy, a troubled poet and author, and his │░
│ father, Col. Hugh Everett, Jr., US Army. As an adult, Dr. Everett │░
│ settled in nearby Virginia, with his wife Nancy. They had a │░
│ daughter, Elizabeth Ann, and a son, Mark Oliver. │░
│ Mark Oliver Everett showed no talent for physics, or even │░
│ mathematics. He was much more interested in the records his sister │░
│ was playing in the house. │░
│ Everyday after school one year, Elizabeth played Neil Young's AFTER │░
│ THE GOLD RUSH album over and over. Mark listened. He never would │░
│ have dreamt that one day he would record an album (DAISIES OF THE │░
│ GALAXY) playing the same upright piano that Neil Young played on │░
│ AFTER THE GOLD RUSH. │░
│ At the age of six, Mark found himself at the next door neighbor's │░
│ garage sale where he saw the toy drum set that would change his │░
│ life. He begged his parents for the $15 it cost to buy the set, and │░
│ they relented. Most children that get a drum set play it for a week │░
│ and then leave it in the closet until their parents have a garage │░
│ sale. Unfortunately for the Everett family, Mark played those drums │░
│ everyday for the next 10 years. │░
│ As a young teenager, after a period of trouble with the law, being │░
│ arrested and thrown out of school, Mark started to pay attention to │░
│ the acoustic guitar gathering dust in his sister's closet. He had │░
│ already been making up little songs on the family's upright piano │░
│ for years. │░
│ Mark had several friends that were coincidentally named Mark. To │░
│ avoid confusion, they would refer to each other by their initials. │░
│ Throughout his teens Mark Everett was "M.E." Gradually it was │░
│ shortened to the even easier "E". │░
│ By the time he was 20, E was obsessed with writing songs and │░
│ recording them on his secondhand 4 track cassette recorder. He wrote │░
│ and recorded virtually every day of the next seven years. │░
│ At the age of 24, feeling stifled by the lack of inspiration and │░
│ creative community in his Virginia neighborhood, E packed up │░
│ everything he owned into a car and drove 3,000 miles across the │░
│ country to Los Angeles, where he knew not one person. │░
│ He eventually moved into a tiny apartment above a garage in Atwater │░
│ Village, on the East side of Los Angeles, and resumed his antisocial │░
│ routine of waking up, writing and recording 4 track cassettes, going │░
│ to one of many shitty jobs that he hated, coming home, writing and │░
│ recording more, and going to sleep. │░
│ As time went on, from the time he started his obsessive song │░
│ writing, the quality of the songs and production of his tapes slowly │░
│ improved. Eventually someone heard some of his songs and asked him │░
│ to record for a record label. │░
│ a man called e broken toy shop │░
│ │░
│ 1991-1995: │░
│ In 1991 E signed a contract to record two albums for Polydor │░
│ Records. This was a great relief for him, as it meant he could now │░
│ devote all his obsessive energy to writing and recording. The first │░
│ record, A MAN CALLED E, came out in 1992, and yielded the top ten │░
│ alternative rock hit "Hello Cruel World." Having never performed │░
│ live as the front man of a band, E went out to open for Tori Amos on │░
│ her first American tour, to much acclaim. In 1993, Polydor followed │░
│ up A MAN CALLED E by releasing E's second album, BROKEN TOY SHOP. │░
│ From 1993 to 1995 E recorded most of what became the BEAUTIFUL FREAK │░
│ album. The single "Novocaine for the Soul," having been recorded and │░
│ mixed in 1993, was eventually a number one alternative rock hit in │░
│ 1996. │░
│ In 1995 E decided to work under a different name. Having grown more │░
│ adventurous musically and lyrically, and tired of the logistical │░
│ nightmares of going by one letter, he added a few letters and formed │░
│ EELS, an ever-changing project for his songs, with a live band to │░
│ present them in concert. With E playing electric guitar and a │░
│ Wurlitzer electric piano through a guitar amp, drummer Butch (aka │░
│ Jonathan Norton) and bassist Tommy Walters joined to help play E's │░
│ BEAUTIFUL FREAK songs live. │░
│ │░
│ 1996-1997: │░
│ With the release of BEAUTIFUL FREAK (DreamWorks Records) in 1996, │░
│ the EELS live band toured throughout America and Europe. The │░
│ striking "Novocaine for the Soul" video clip of the band seemingly │░
│ flying through their day was nominated for several MTV awards. They │░
│ had a second top ten international hit with the song "Susan's │░
│ House." │░
│ They continued to tour, concluding with a stint on the 1997 │░
│ Lollapalooza tour. 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. │░
│ │░
│ 1998 │░
│ At 19, E found his father dead. His troubled sister, Elizabeth, │░
│ committed suicide in 1996. And now his mother was terminally ill │░
│ with lung cancer. That was his entire family. He ultimately decided │░
│ he could not ignore these things artistically, feeling that anything │░
│ else would be an act. So he set about the writing and recording of │░
│ an album that was inspired by, and that would deal with the │░
│ tragedies in his life, but only if it could offer a new point of │░
│ view, and a positive resolution. │░
│ It was a challenge that E rose to on the critically acclaimed │░
│ ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES album, recorded 1997-1998 and released in 1998. │░
│ Although a glance at the track list on the back of the CD jewel box │░
│ can often make people assume the album is "depressing," E called it │░
│ "probably the most positive record I will ever make." The album, now │░
│ considered a late 90s rock classic, can at first prove to be a │░
│ difficult listen, but soon reveals a life-affirming heart. Guests on │░
│ the album included E's neighbors and friends, Mike Simpson of the │░
│ Dust Brothers, Mickey Petralia, Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee │░
│ Buffalo, Lisa Germano, Jon Brion, and T-Bone Burnett. │░
│ After making more MTV-nominated videos for "Last Stop: This Town" │░
│ and "Cancer for the Cure," the new 3 piece EELS live band found E │░
│ trading in his Wurlitzer electric piano for a Hammond organ and │░
│ bassist/guitarist Adam Siegal joining the line up to hit the road │░
│ for a 4 month theater tour of Europe and America. │░
│ │░
│ │░
│ 1999-2000: │░
│ Soon after returning home and contributing "Cancer For The Cure" to │░
│ the film "American Beauty," E went down to his basement to write and │░
│ record the next album. Less than 6 months after the release of │░
│ ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES, DAISIES OF THE GALAXY was finished. │░
│ Not released until February 2000, DAISIES OF THE GALAXY picked up │░
│ where ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES left off. "The challenge was to figure out │░
│ where one can go from ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES, and I wanted to go up," │░
│ says E. Legendary producer Lenny Waronker likened the album to "A │░
│ nice walk in the park, where you're occasionally bitten by a snake." │░
│ NME Called the album "A masterpiece in almost every way." │░
│ R.E.M.'s Peter Buck guests on the album, and co-wrote the track, │░
│ "Estate Sale." The first single, "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues" was a │░
│ hidden track on the album, yet a substantial international hit. The │░
│ video for the second single "Flyswatter" featured drummer Butch as a │░
│ clown on a police stakeout in front of E's home. │░
│ Shortly before the release of DAISIES OF THE GALAXY, the robust │░
│ Butch ate a large pizza before he went to bed. That night he dreamt │░
│ of a concert where he was playing timpani with "The EELS Orchestra." │░
│ There were strings and horns and they even played an overture of │░
│ EELS songs. The next morning Butch called E and told him about his │░
│ dream. They agreed that they had to make this dream a reality. │░
│ Starting in January, The EELS Orchestra 2000 toured throughout │░
│ Europe, America and Australia. The six piece band featured │░
│ saxophone, trombone, trumpet, banjo, guitar, violin, upright bass, │░
│ piano, melodica, clarinet, flute, and, yes, timpani. 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. And they played the EELS Overture, just like in Butch's │░
│ dream, (an idea that the legendary Brian Wilson emulated, much to │░
│ Butch's chagrin, for his late summer 2000 Pet Sounds tour). It was a │░
│ vast change from the 3 piece rock band they were a few years ago. In │░
│ the spring, E also toured solo with Fiona Apple in the US, winding │░
│ up the tour with an appearance on The Late Show with David │░
│ Letterman. │░
│ Upon returning home, EELS contributed the song "Christmas Is Going │░
│ To The Dogs" to the film "How The Grinch Stole Christmas." In │░
│ December, 2000 EELS released the limited edition OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL │░
│ MORNING live CD, culled from the EELS Orchestra and E solo 2000 │░
│ tours. │░
│ │░
│ 2001-2002: │░
│ Recorded in bits and pieces, some dating back to 1998, the bulk of │░
│ the SOULJACKER album was recorded in the early part of 2001 and co- │░
│ written and co-produced by E and John Parish, whom E met while EELS │░
│ were appearing on the same 1998 taping of the British TV show, "Top │░
│ Of The Pops," that PJ Harvey, the band Parish is often a member of, │░
│ was also appearing on. E & Parish hit it off immediately, bonding │░
│ over a mutual love of croquet and rock music. │░
│ The album's inspiration came when E was taking a break from the │░
│ recording of ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES at a meditation retreat, deep in │░
│ the woods of central California. While thinking about a story he had │░
│ recently heard about a California serial killer called the Soul │░
│ Jacker, who claimed to take not only the lives of his victims, but │░
│ the souls as well, E broke the retreat's rules of not reading, │░
│ writing or speaking by writing the song "Souljacker Part II" on a │░
│ roll of toilet paper. │░
│ The SOULJACKER album was released internationally in September of │░
│ 2001. In an unfortunate case of timing, E's new short hair and long │░
│ beard made a lot of people at the airports EELS were frequenting at │░
│ the time of the September 11 tragedy nervous. The US release of the │░
│ album was delayed until March, 2002. Legendary German director Wim │░
│ Wenders shot the video for "Souljacker Part I" in an abandoned East │░
│ Berlin prison. TIME magazine crowned SOULJACKER one of the best │░
│ records of the year, while NME called it "downright brilliant" and │░
│ London's SUNDAY TIMES deemed it Album Of The Year, saying that "The │░
│ conventional wisdom that Electro-shock Blues was E's masterpiece │░
│ will have to be reassessed: it was clearly just one of his │░
│ masterpieces." │░
│ After contributing the song "My Beloved Monster" to the film │░
│ "Shrek," EELS were ready for the road once again, with new live band │░
│ members John Parish on guitar and Koool G Murder on bass and │░
│ synthesizer, joining E and drummer Butch for an extensive world │░
│ tour, dubbed the Bus Driving, Band Rocking Tour, that took them to │░
│ Europe, Australia and their first trip to Japan. Guitarist Joe Gore │░
│ filled in for the baby-making John Parish on the 2002 US leg of the │░
│ tour. │░
│ In the summer of 2002 E contributed music to the film "Levity," and │░
│ the second limited edition live EELS CD, ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES SHOW, │░
│ recorded during a 1998 concert supporting Pulp, was released. While │░
│ continuing to develop songs that would eventually become the │░
│ BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS album, E took a break from the │░
│ arduous process to make what would become the next EELS album to be │░
│ released, SHOOTENANNY!, essentially the document of the 4 piece band │░
│ from the spring, 2002 US tour playing live in the studio during a │░
│ ten day stretch in November. │░
│ │░
│ 2003: │░
│ The spring of 2003 was a busy time in EELS history, with many EELS- │░
│ related releases coming out in the period of 2 months. I AM THE │░
│ MESSIAH, a record made in the summer of 2000 by the EELS' favorite │░
│ Silver Lake DJ, MC HONKY was finally released (after being released │░
│ in Australia in 2002). E, Koool G Murder, Joey Waronker and others │░
│ helped out on the disc. The "Levity" film score album, released in │░
│ April, featured 2 tracks billed to EELS as well as score billed to │░
│ Mark Oliver Everett, and two more songs, "Eyes Down" and "Mighty │░
│ Fine Blues" were contributed to the film "Holes." │░
│ On top of all that, June 3rd saw the release of the EELS 5th studio │░
│ album, SHOOTENANNY!. The 80 city EELS Tour Of Duty, which found E │░
│ flanked by a band outfitted in red polyester suits once worn by │░
│ Elvis Presley's backing band on his 1968 comeback TV special, began │░
│ in June and ended in November, circling the globe at least twice │░
│ with Koool G Murder on bass, Golden Boy on guitar and Puddin' on │░
│ drums. Guitar legend Chet replaced the baby-making Golden Boy on the │░
│ 2nd US leg of the tour. ROLLING STONE gave the album 4 stars, │░
│ praising its "Zen-like self-realization," while judges Tom Waits and │░
│ Cameron Crowe nominated SHOOTENANNY! for the 2003 Short List Music │░
│ Prize. │░
│ │░
│ 2004: │░
│ The bulk of the recording of an epic EELS album that began some │░
│ years earlier is done in 2004, as the EELS lay low for the year, │░
│ toiling away on the record, only surfacing from the basement studio │░
│ to contribute the song "I Need Some Sleep" to the film "Shrek 2" and │░
│ a new studio version of longtime EELS concert favorite "Living │░
│ Life," by Daniel Johnston for the DISCOVERED COVERED: THE LATE GREAT │░
│ DANIEL JOHNSTON tribute album. DreamWorks Records is sold to │░
│ Universal, which already distributed the EELS records, and EELS move │░
│ to the Universal-owned Vagrant label. │░
│ │░
│ │░
│ 2005: │░
│ April 26 sees the worldwide release of the 33 track double album, │░
│ BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS. Guests include E's hound dog, │░
│ Bobby, Jr., new friends Tom Waits and The Lovin' Spoonful's John │░
│ Sebastian, as well as returning friend Peter Buck from R.E.M. The │░
│ album is heralded by the press as perhaps E's finest work to date. E │░
│ directs the video for Hey Man (Now You're Really Living) himself, │░
│ while Jesse Dylan mans the camera for the Trouble With Dreams video. │░
│ In May "EELS with strings" is formed and goes on the road. The line │░
│ up of E backed by a string quartet and two multi-instrumentalists, │░
│ The Chet (formerly Chet) and Big Al, play critically acclaimed │░
│ concerts throughout Europe, the U.S., Australia, and concludes │░
│ October 23rd in Auckland, New Zealand. Along the way they film and │░
│ record a show at New York City's legendary Town Hall, perform on │░
│ Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, │░
│ Last Call with Carson Daly, The Late Late Show with Craig Furgeson, │░
│ Later With Jools Holland, and in London alone they play at Royal │░
│ Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall (as part of Patti Smith's Meltdown │░
│ Festival) and Royal Festival Hall. │░
│ Also in May, the SIXTEEN TONS (TEN SONGS) CD culled from the EELS │░
│ 2003 KCRW live session is released for sale exclusively at the EELS │░
│ with strings shows and the EELS website, and EELS contribute a cover │░
│ of "Jelly Dancers" to DIMENSION MIX, a tribute to electronic music │░
│ pioneer Bruce Haack. │░
│ │░
│ 2006: │░
│ After appearing at the Joni Mitchell tribute concert at Carnegie │░
│ Hall and releasing the EELS with Strings LIVE AT TOWN HALL live │░
│ album CD and concert film DVD in February, EELS announced that they │░
│ would be touring again. "BLINKING LIGHTS is a double album so it │░
│ deserves at least two tours in its honor," E said when announcing │░
│ the tour that started May 25th in Los Angeles, circled the globe, │░
│ and ended back in Los Angles August 26th. In contrast to the EELS │░
│ WITH STRINGS tour of 2005, the EELS -- LIVE AND IN PERSON -- NO │░
│ STRINGS ATTACHED tour saw E, The Chet, Knuckles and Krazy Al in a │░
│ barely recognizable form from the previous year, rocking with a │░
│ fervor and abandon beyond any EELS tour to date. Stops included │░
│ Lollapalooza, The Montreux Jazz Festival, The O2 festival in Leeds │░
│ and London's Hyde Park, and a free outdoor show in New York City as │░
│ a thank you to the New York City fans who helped make the Town Hall │░
│ show of 2005 such a memorable evening. │░

│ featuring a 3 guitar lineup (E, The Chet and newcomer P-Boo) joined │░
│ by EELS veterans Koool G Murder on bass and Knuckles on drums. │░
│ TOMORROW MORNING is praised by the press as "Uncharacteristically │░
│ hopeful, and euphorically in love (New York Times) and "Unfailingly │░
│ fascinating... So exciting and vibrant, one can only marvel at the │░
│ cleverness of its creator" (Washington Post). The 50 date world tour │░
│ is heralded for its surprising sense of celebration, finding EELS │░
