    BIO

    "Electric Eeel Shock's ferocious live show is the most relentlessly
    energetic we've seen in ages... their stage presence is frightening."

    Electric Eel Shock never fail to leave a lasting impression on all who see
    them live!

    "We don't know much English... but we love Rock & Roll!"

    Electric Eel Shock (aka EES - Rock & Roll Monster from Japan) super-charged
    live performances have had an enormous impact on the Japanese Garage Rock
    scene. A band in constant motion, they have toured of Japan, United States
    (5 times), Canada and UK (London).

    EES released their first album "Maybe... I think We Can Beat Nirvana" back
    in 1997. The following year they released their live album "Live Punctured",
    and by 1999, they had established their own independent label "Micro Music".
    In April of '99, E.E.S. executed their first tour of New York. Shortly
    afterward they released their second studio album entitled "Slayer's Bay
    Blues". They returned to New York for two more shocking tours including a
    performance at the renowned NYC's CMJ Music Festival 2000. In all the places
    that they performed the audiences grew larger and larger with each
    performance.
    In February 2001 they finished a tour of Canada and the U.S. that included
    such legendary clubs as New York's CBGB and Toronto's El Mocambo. Then in
    June they hit the road again for a nation wide tour of Japan, following it
    with a tremendously successful return tour of the U.S. and Canada. Audiences
    continued to go crazy for their high voltage music.
    In June 2001, E.E.S. released a new split CD with the American band, The
    Get-Go from San Francisco, entitled "E.G. Split", which helped to spread Eel
    Shock's rock to new territories.
    In September 2001, E.E.S. won through to the CMJ Music Marathon again. They
    intended to go on a North America tour including a showcase at the festival,
    but it was 11th of September when they left Japan. Some gigs were obviously
    cancelled but they carried through it sharing stages with the likes of The
    Datsuns, The D4 and The Warlocks and won the highest praise.
    In March 02, they toured West Coast and Texas. The final performance of the
    tour was at SXSW Music Festival in Austin where they played with both The D4
    and The Datsuns once again.
    EES hit the US and Canadian highways once again in November 2002 to promote
    new album "GO America!". The first 'break' in their schedule coming in
    January 2003 when they spent just over a week in the UK. They came over for
    three gigs but such was the demand from promoters to put them on and new
    fans to see them that they ended up playing 14 times in 12 days, all in
    London! Their last UK gig was supporting Aussie rockers Grinspoon at the
    famous Hammersmith Palais (PoNaNa's) on Australia day. The crowd of 2500
    went wild for the band and bought so much merchandise that EES
    embarrassingly out sold the headliners (who were all seen proudly wearing
    their own EES T-Shirts)!
    At the end of January EES returned to their US tour which took them to SXSW
    once again. Fox News, CBS and local TV channel, Austin Music Network all
    interviewed them and filmed their awesome daytime showcase at Emo's. By
    their main gig on the last day of the festival the word had spread so much
    that there were as nearly as many people outside the venue unable to get in
    as there were crammed inside.
    As everyone who came to see their show knows, EES has been ready to spread
    their energy and power all over the world. You will also see it!
