[edit] Band Biography
After E's solo albums, he formed a band (at least partially to escape the logistical problems of computers not necessarily handling one-letter artist names well) called eels with Butch. Since then, the rest of eels has been a bit of a revolving door, with many people helping out on the records, including Tom Waits (a reported big fan of eels), Peter Buck from R.E.M. and John Sebastian from The Lovin' Spoonful. Each album tends to be somewhat different in sound. Their most popular is Beautiful Freak due to the success of the single "Novocaine For the Soul".
