The electric eels (lowercase "e"s in reference to e e cummings [1]) were an early glam rock band that was active between 1972 and 1975. They formed in Cleveland, Ohio, during a period in which punk rock was not yet distinguished as a style of music, but glam rock was. The founding members were John Morton (guitar), Dave E. McManus (vocals and clarinet) and Brian McMahon (guitar). Paul Marotta and John Knox were also members during their short existence.
