In 1991, Everett signed a contract with Polydor and released A Man Called E under the name E a year later. The single “Hello Cruel World” was a minor success. Touring to support the album, E opened for Tori Amos . A Man Called E was followed by Broken Toy Shop in 1993. This year also marked the beginning of E’s collaboration with drummer Jonathan “Butch” Norton . After Broken Toy Shop , E was released from his record deal with Polydor . E has performed two of the songs from Broken Toy Shop (“The Only Thing I Care About” and “Manchester Girl”) for his own live shows with Eels.
