Electric Eel Shock
"Mixing dark fuzzy stoner rock riffs with classic
rock sensibilities and addictive song-writing hooks, EES
occupy the gaping void somewhere between Queens Of The
Stoneage, AC/DC and Black Sabbath." Kerrang
"Youd have to be the most miserable of metal
purists or the ultimate elitist trend follower not to
allow yourself to simply enjoy this band..." Classic
Rock
"The true triumph of Electric Eel Shock is that they
put on a show that can be equally enjoyed by metals
fanatics and its detractors. This is more than just a
rock show its a complete entertainment package."
Metro
Electric Eel Shock are a glorious celebration of Classic
Rock, Punk and Metal. A true power trio from the time
before rock became fractured into a diverse multitude
of sub-genres and we were all still one big happy Rock
& Roll family.
"EES are nothing short of awesome" - Brent Hinds
(Mastodon)
EES left their native Japan in 1999 to see what they could
make of America and they have been on a near constant
world tour ever since. EES paid their way by selling merchandise
and their self recorded album "SLAYERS BAY BLUES"
at their gigs. Headlining a stage at the prestigious Roskilde
Festival in Denmark was a key early event for the band.
By 2004 EES had toured 27 countries around the world and
they decided it was about time to release an album: "GO
EUROPE!" became the first commercially available
EES release and the band performed at 30 European Summer
Festivals.
Follow up album "BEAT ME" was recorded in Holland
early 2005 with legendary producer Attie Bauw (Judas Priest,
Scorpions, Bootsy Collins etc). BEAT ME achieved much
critical acclaim from press and fans alike and EES continued
to conquer the international musical scene step by step
throughout 2005 and 2006 adding Australia and parts of
Asia to their widening travels.
In 2007 Electric Eel Shock again worked with Attie Bauw
on a new album: "TRANSWORLD ULTRA ROCK" is seems
to sum up the past, present and future of the band in
one album. The feeling seems to span the entire EES back
catalogue, including the raw inventiveness of Slayers
Bay Blues, the catchy songs of the GO albums and the hard
tight rock of Beat Me. This album has it all. The overall
atmosphere is more positive than ever before. Its
a feeling that reflects the Shocks ongoing progression,
from playing every dive bar and toilet around the world
to selling out larger more prestigious venues. |
