"Eels (also sometimes eels or EELS, depending on the album) is an American rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as Mr. E or simply E. He is the frontman of the band, calling Eels a vessel for his music. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels' live shows include new material, interpretations of older songs, and usually some well-known cover versions. Eels have a huge fan community. Their several world tours took them to Europe, Australia, Japan and USA. The band is probably most successful in the UK and in Central and Northern Europe. In past interviews, E has said that Dreamworks encouraged the group to tour mainly in Europe, as their American tours were not typically as profitable. However, since the group signed to Vagrant Records, it seems that they tour the United States with a higher frequency.

There have been a few collaborations between the band and the fans. In 2001, for example a song called Hidden Track (ironically, not released as a hidden track, but as a b-side) was recorded, a song with lyrics pieced together by E entirely from fans' text messages and sung by Butch. The relatively large community is active on its own. In 1999 a tribute album was made, organized by the Fansite The Galaxy (now part of the Behind the Church community site), and another was completed in mid-2006."
