Continuing my fascination with all things Japanese, I went to see a little known three piece band called Electric Eel Shock at the Carling Islington Academy. They’ve just started their UK tour, so expect them at a venue near you very soon. You’ll recognise them on sight, since they’re pretty distinctive fellas. Especially the drummer who, from what I can gather from the gig, is almost always naked, besides from a lengthy sock dangling off his modesty. Seeing him smash it into the drums is all part and parcel of an Electric Eel shock gig. Intrigued? Then check them out.
