Electric Eel Shock

Electric Eel Shock (a.k.a. EES) are a Japanese celebration of classic rock, punk and metal. A true power trio (Aki Morimoto - Guitar & Vocals; Kazuto Maekawa - Bass; Tomoharu 'Gian' Ito - Drums) from the time before rock became fractured into a diverse multitude of sub-genres and we were all still one big happy Rock & Roll family. EES formed in Tokyo in the late 1990s, they first toured the United States in 1999 and came to Europe in early 2003 - they have been touring the world ever since. In Jan 2010 they launched a campaign on Pledge music to celebrate a decade of touring the world. The pledge is to fund and release both a Soundtrack album and the bands first ever live album and DVD: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/224 Electric Eel Shock are pioneers of Fan Funding previously, in 2008, they've managed to group enough fans through the website SellaBand in order to raise $50,000 to record and release for an album which they titled SUGOI INDEED.
