THE ELECTRIC EELS
JOHN MORTON, DAVE E, BRIAN McMAHON, NICK KNOX
What can you say about a scuzzy bunch of troublemakers, who used rock and roll as means of venting their seemingly
endless frustration, boredom, and hatred upon an unsuspecting public? How about, "Cool, did they make any records?"
The Electric Eels might well have been the biggest bunch of low-lifes to come out of the late pre-punk scene in
Cleveland, which is saying something for a scene that contributed antisocial snotballs like the Pagans and
substance-fueled art-punks like Rocket From the Tombs. They played a total of six gigs (all of which ended in
violence and/or arrest) and recorded a handful of crudely played (and mostly bass-less) garage-punk that
predicted the angry, fuzzed-out and revved-up sound of the Dead Boys and Rubber City Rebels.
So it is safe to call theElectric Eels an influential band, but in a warped, disturbing kind of way

By late 1975, the Electric Eels' reputation for fighting and unstable (not to mention potentially
dangerous) performances led to their being banned from virtually every club in Cleveland,
signaling that the end was nigh. Loud, proud, obnoxious, and unapologetically incompetent,
the Electric Eels were a great part of the great rock & roll tradition
of expressing pure antisocial attitude...(AllMusic)
