7/23/2007- MARK OLIVER EVERETT WRITES BOOK:
Where have Mr. E and the EELS gone? There hasn't been a single sighting since the conclusion of the 2006 LIVE AND IN PERSON world tour and the few stray appearances soon after. We're not getting a lot of info here at the EELStheband.com offices, but we do have this enticing new bit of news: EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett has written a book about his life, to be published in 2008. That's all we know so far. Stay tuned for more news as it comes.

given his perchant for biting, hilarious self-deprecating humour, this has the potential to be very, very good.

i wish that documentary film they were advertising before the ...With Strings concerts would come out though!
