I like The Eels. I think Mark Oliver Everett is one of the finest songwriters around. Mixing up olde time country stylings with ear splitting white noise, thoughtful balladry and black humour, The Eels essentially have it all (oh, they're pretty catchy too!). So, on the back of their dual release of a greatest hits and rarities comp, (Meet the Eels and Useless Trinkets, respectively), Everett and Co are set to hit the road on a huge world tour...">

So, on the back of their dual release of a greatest hits and rarities comp, (Meet the Eels and Useless Trinkets, respectively), Everett and Co. are set to hit the road on a huge world tour.

The tour kicks off on Valentine's Day in their home state of Cali before dusting off the passports for a jaunt round the UK, then it's the mainland Europe leg, then, phew, it's back to the UK, then back to Europe, before finishing off in North America. Bloody hell. That looks like hard work. Anyway, if you wanna know where they'll be playing, read over.
