ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK
Electric Eel Shock are a band so fun that even their manager is a professional comedian as well as Japan's first ever foreign karaoke champion. Formed in Tokyo in the late 90s, the group have spent over a decade in near constant touring playing every festival and city you've ever heard of across Europe and America. Primarily influenced by Black Sabbath and, you suspect, more than one viewing of Spinal Tap, EES have a strong indie work ethic. They collectively sold everything they owned to tour the states, raised more than $50,000 using online resource Sellaband to release an album, set up their own label and even offered their fans the opportunity to become one of the "100 Samurai" to gain guest list for life status. When he's not moonlighting as a professional angler and fishing journalist, frontman Aki Morimoto is crafting danceable rock tunes so catchy they won the Best Music Act of the Year at the NEO Music Awards and caused Kerrang to muse: "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 Stone Age, AC/DC and Black Sabbath."
