Eels Tour & Free NYC Show

News from the 'ole inbox:
"EELS officially announce their 2006 NO STRINGS ATTACHED Tour with many new dates, starting with their traditional tour warm-up shows at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, May 25th & 26th, then winding through the west, midwest and northeast of the United States and Canada on their way to rock Europe for festival shows and more."

Free summertime show in New York City at the World Financial Plaza on June 13! You lucky ducks.

Cuddling in bed with E is probably optional.

LIVE DOWNLOADS
Here are two live Eels tracks, to get you in the mood. These are from the excellent KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic session last May:

Grace Kelly Blues (live) - Eels

Girl From the North Country (live, Dylan cover) - Eels

And one more, a bit more upbeat, from another session at KCRW:

Packing Blankets (live) - Eels


Oh and remember, as Steve Perry says (somewhat inexplicably), "E is real Ball-z."
