We are The EggMen and we dig your visit!
Thanks for stopping by EggMen.com, home of Austin's premier Beatles Tribute
Band. You might have helped vote us number one for SIX years in the "Best Cover Band" category in the Austin Chronicle Music
Poll. Or you might've seen us play live or heard us on KLBJ, KGSR, Z102.3,
Oldies 103, or KUT. Whatever the reason for your visiting EggMen.com,
there is one thing for sure - you really dig the music of the 60's.
Our show
Our first set is all early Beatles, we call it the "Suit Set",
consisting of songs like "Hard Day's Night" and "She Loves
You". In our second set, the "Psychedelic Set" we tackle
the hard stuff like "Day in the Life" and "I am the Walrus".
Songs of the "British Invasion" like "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "My
Generation" are featured in our third set. Sample set list.
Who we are
John, Tommo, Nigel, Basil, Terry, and Brian, collectively
know as the "The
EggMen" originally formed in 1992 in Austin, Texas. The Eggmen play
authentic instruments, including amps by Vox; guitars by Rickenbacker/Gretsch/Epiphone/Hofner
etc.; drums by Ludwig (vintage mid-sixties). Our "Liverpudlian" accents
and vocal abilities are without equal. We play anything from private
parties to large outdoor festivals.
We dig the music of the 60's
Actually it's more like an obsession. We see ourselves as the keepers
of a particularly important flame - live performance of the greatest
music of this century ( our opinion of course). We think its important
to treat the composer's musical ideas with a respectful rendition of
the original piece. In our case, this means great live versions of
music from The Beatles; The Kinks: The Who; Rolling Stones etc....
We dig the musical tools of the past
We've researched the musical instruments of the 1960s to find
our sound. That's why we haul vintage guitars, amps, and drums to every gig
because we know how important these wonderful instruments are in capturing
the sound...the tones...the feel of "that
60s thing." (
besides, these instruments look pretty cool too). Before a show there is
often a small crowd drooling over the guitars sitting on the stage.
We hope you dig eggmen.com
