ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK

"The NME have always dreamed of a band like Japan's Electric Eel Shock. A band willing and able to rid the world of sexually retarded indie schemindie dullards while spunking in the accepted notions of cool!"
NME

This Japanese threesome returned to Hong Kong on May 5th. Two years since their first HK appearance at the ROCKIT festival and one sold out show at Amnesia, this formidable threesome reminded HK audiences what live music is all about. Feast your eyes at The Electric Eel Shock website.
And now, from FEFO, check out a clip of another killer performance from the EES boys.
