2/17/2022- TOUR UPDATE:
We're sure you're getting tired of seeing announcements like this. When we planned our 2022 tour 7 months ago we hoped we would be in a more ideal place to carry it out by now. Hopefully things are improving but unfortunately, because of the current state of the pandemic and travel & local restrictions, we're not quite at a point where we can pull off a tour. Our spring '22 tour of Europe and the U.S. will have to be postponed to spring '23. We'd come sooner but the rest of this year has been reserved by artists who previously had to cancel. We're extremely disappointed we won't get to see you this year, it was going to be doubly rocktastic after not being able to tour in 2020, so we will rock you triply in 2023. Hold on to your tickets, they'll be valid for the new dates (except Colorado, see below) and if the new date doesn't work for you you'll be given a full refund at the point of purchase. All of the cities and venues remain the same except the Boulder, CO show will be refunded and moved to Denver's Gothic Theatre, the venues in Vienna and Milan have changed but your tickets will be honored, and we've added a new show in Nimes, France. See all the new tour dates HERE.

Apologies all around, but we have no choice in the matter during these difficult times.

In 2010 the Metropolitan Police questioned Everett, suspecting him of terrorism while on an innocent stroll through London's Hyde Park. Today he said, "To go from being a suspected terrorist, to having the Freedom of the City is quite amazing. It shows that anything is possible in London. I love this place!" The award is one of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies still in existence today, the first Freedom having been presented in 1237. Only in 1996 did it become possible for non-British citizens to be admitted. Winston Churchill, Princess Diana, and Nelson Mandela are among the few recipients of the award. Other musicians to receive the honor include Bob Geldof, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti - however E is the first singer of a contemporary rock band to receive this award. See a photo from the event HERE.

11/12/2012- A MESSAGE FROM BOBBY, JR.:
Well, not a message directly from his mouth, because, you know, he's a dog, but an update, anyway. Bobby, Jr, the EELS' talented singing dog, is often called "the sixth EEL" because of his constant companionship and inspiration to all EELS projects. Many EELS fans were aghast and voiced displeasure when a photo recently surfaced of EELS leader E looking very cozy with a kitten. But there is no need for concern. The kitten was merely a visitor that day and Bobby, Jr. is alive, well and feeling both wonderful AND glorious. Bobby, now age 10, did go through a major health scare recently that resulted in him having to endure spinal surgery that left his freak-show, low rider, backwards-legged body looking like Frankenweenie just in time for Halloween, but we're happy to report that he has bounced back and is walking, running and chasing squirrels like the Bobby, Jr. of 9 years ago, and he was present for the entire recording of the new WONDERFUL, GLORIOUS EELS album. "A kitten?," says E, "No kitten can take the place of Bobby, Jr. No one will ever take the place of Bobby, Jr. in my heart." See Bobby, Jr. resting between ping pong matches HERE and re-visit his stunning performance on "Last Time We Spoke" from BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS HERE, and watch one of his finest video performances HERE.
