EELS TO TOUR IN 2006

[redlocks]

ooooooo! oooooo! as a new fan i thought i would have to wait a few years to see them live after this tour was finished! i hope now that it's not true! ;D

[DoubleD]

I sure hope they make it to Indiana again.

[Grossy]

This is great. I'll be in usa by June for three months, then to europe. So i like my chances of seeing eels again somewhere. I hold little hope of e returning to australia anytime soon. Wasn't there a story not long ago about E going back to work on the album he was in the middle of before he decided to finally finish blink lights?

B. clickie have no clue where they got there info i readed this 2 weeks ago and could not care to post it hear as i thought it was a joke
(Zou de organisatie mee in onderhandeling zijn=rumors say the organisation is in negotiation with)

That wouldnt be bad, there are some nice band for pinkpop at the rumors list

[Bert Wasbeer]

I know Jan Smeets (the man behind Pinkpop) once said in an interview that he's a fan of Eels, it was one of the bands he would really like to book again (they were there in 1997).
If this rumour is true (and that might be, the early spring and summerfestivals will be pretty active to round up their line-ups, PP usually presents their line-up in march) I will buy a ticket for Pinkpop for the first time since 1999 (after that the programme was only interesting enough to get in for free by working at the campsites)

[eelsdotnl]

The Pinkpop line-up will be announced on march 8 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. I don't think that Eels would fit there... on the other hand, they sold over 10.000 tickets in the Netherlands last year so they could very well be interesting for Pinkpop to have... if it's not a 'with strings' show at least. Oh, and Willem Venema is a big fan as well...

[renie]

I bet we're all being too optimistic. "Hitting the road" probably only means he's going to do a few shows with Jon Brion in California or something. Remember that "super group" post from the official site? Maybe he'll play drums for the Lovin' Spoonful or similar. For three shows in total . . .

[Screamdevil]

Well it says: "E has informed EELStheband.com that the EELS intend to hit the road in 2006!"

I believe in a world tour!

[no mayo please]

There'd best be some Australia action.

[loulou]

We can't get wrong : we surely are the luckiest and best-treated fans ever !!! But Eels is so special it has nothing to suit in summer festivals

[Pasty King]

Ohh...Ohhh...if he comes back to england we can have an "Eelsfest 3D!"

Damn, this has made my day.

eheh lucky you!

i really hope they will come back to italy.

[woolythinking]

Oh, man... 2006 could well be a good year.

I'm trying not to get too excited, though. My first impulse is pants-wetting glee, but I'm pacing myself to see what actually materialises.

[Great Mistake]

maybe he's doing a belated tour on "bad dude in love"

[renie]

Yeah, time to grow back the mustache!
