One of pop music’s most charmingly inscrutable figures, Mark Oliver Everett, gave one of his most charmingly eclectic performances on Tuesday night at the Music Box. The man known as E, as in Eels, performing at times solo and at others with a full band, mixed songs from his vast catalog with material from his emotionally oppositional album trilogy – 2009’s “Hombre Lobo” and this year’s two releases “End Times” and “Tomorrow Morning.” And he covered the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City.” Jesca Hoop preceded Eels with a set of her own eclectic pop, and the night began in even more unexpected fashion, with a short performance by the ventriloquist VQA.
