Double Faced Eels is a rock band from Riga, Latvia. The band was founded as a punk rock outfit in 2000 and enjoyed success in Latvia from 2004 to 2010, with three released albums, sold-out local tours, nominations for Best Rock Song of the Year, Best Rock Album of the year, as well as MTV’s Best Baltic Act of 2007. In 2010, the line-up of Double Faced Eels changed, with Mārtiņš “Marka” Gailītis remaining the only original member and singer Reinis Straume and bass player Viktors Maslovs joining. In 2015, some role-changes within the band took place (Reinis moved from playing guitar to singing lead and Marka became the band’s producer) and the band started creating original songs and cover versions of popular music in English. Subsequently, interest for the new incarnation of Double Faced Eels slowly grew and one such cover version (Bebe Rexha’s “I Got You”) was entered into a new USA-based music competition called Best.Cover.Ever, which the band ultimately won (and were the only European finalists to have been chosen for the show). As winners, Double Faced Eels performed a duet version of Bebe Rexha’s “The Way I Are” with Bebe herself.
