The Eels History

A quantum physicist who authored The Many Worlds Theory, Everett was also the inspiration behind several science fiction books, movies and Star Trek episodes (Due to his parallel universe theories. Remarkably, the young Everett exchanged letters with none other than Albert Einstein!! Debating whether it was something random or unifying that held the universe together.

Yep, you've guessed it!! I'm talking about the Eels front-man's Dad.

According to the official Eels website, everyday after school for over a year, Elizabeth (Mark Everett's sister) repeatedly played Neil Young's, “After The Gold Rush,” album as Mark listened.

This was to have a profound effect on the young Mark Everett.

Mark Everett begged his parents to buy a second-hand drum kit from a neighbours garage sale. This was at the ripe old age of SIX!!

As I am sure you can appreciate most children that get a drum set play it for a week and then it gets left to gather dust. Unfortunately for the Everett family, Mark played those drums everyday for the next 10 years.

The Eels

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 tender age of 24, E packed up everything he owned into a car and drove 3,000 miles across the country to begun again in Los Angeles .

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.

And the rest as they say, is history………………
