Before
the Bisco gig:
Hi were sending this from the USA, up near Albany in New York
State, small town called Amsterdam (oh yeah?) just minutes
from a truly great festival were playing at : CAMP
BISCO.. Home of The Disco Biscuits who
host this festival, and have a really good line up of bands
from the Jam Band scene out here, including themselves, Telepath,
20/20 soundsystem, Also from back home, Younger Brother which
is Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan (Benji produced 'Forwards'
and is currently producing more tunes with us). Snoop Dogg
and Dj Shadow also doing it.. Its hot sunny and the vibes
are good. Alot of the scene out here is to record gigs and
put them straight up for download, so unti/ifl we get this
gig up, inthat spirit, and also anyhow, we have put up a recent
40 minute gig from London which we love, almost like us remixing
ourselves.. see the contact page or click here to go straight
to Download
ALSO
Were excited about the US release of Forwards.. Its taken
a while but were very happy about it. Its out now on Spectacle
Entertainment , part of Neurodisc.. a great label based in
Florida, and with Fontana distribution, ... available evrywhere
in the States, and also available across Europe, Japan, Australia
and Brazil..This version has 'nothing on it' no! we mean 'nothing'
the track, on it. Ha ha ,...that is a grindingly obvious joke
done too many times
Weve
also been setting up a Download
page, starting with some live recordings, from Glastonbury
festival, and london.. well see how it goes, and whether it
works, then we'll add more. try the 'Contact' page , then
on 'buy albums online'... Cheers. or click above. let us know
what you think
..right..
meanwhile were busy working on our next album, were into the
4th or 5th track now, and hope to have much finished around
June . there's some real funky moments in there and some psychedelic
soundscapes. `were doing a few tunes with Benji Vaughan, as
we did with Forwards, and some with Bruno Ellingham, who has
worked with New Order, Goldfrapp, Steve Osborne, you name
it.., And also writing and creating music with ourselves and
Shaun Hunter, who also does our live sound. just done a new
tune 'A bit' which we like more than just a bit actually..
Greg
Hunter (Orb Engineer and collaborator of first 2 albums) has
done a track with us too... (he also did the Abstarct geometry
mix on theForwards Special edition colection).. and weve done
a few days at Miloco in Hoxton Sq, London, 2 tunes; Catch
and Sincere eyes, not sure what will wont be included finally
on the new album, but got a feeling its going to be more uptempo
than the last. Were sort of feeling our way, and had some
very funky moments already, also some very textural and almost
shoegazeyish moments in the way 'nothing' is. Ulrich Schnauss,
whose music we love is doing a mix for us of a vocoder type
tune and album wise, Theres about 20 tunes in all to choose
from, which we love
Were really focusing on recording right now so trying to avoid
live gigs for a little while, and Ideas are coming up faster
than we put them down at the moment which is always a good
thing, maybe well post a few bits and bobs up. feedback is
always a very good thing from egg listeners/ appreciators,
what kind of things you like the best. a good place is at
myspace.com/theeggmusic.
Theres some really good live recordings from Cargo aand Glastonbury
too, which just need mixing...
Also
see at our myspace page that aswell as the UK, Weve got some
gigs coming up in USA this year , New York city in March ,
California in May, and at CAMP BISCO in July the festival
put on by the Disco Biscuits, including aswell as them and
us, acts such as The Bays, possibly Air etc, and many electronic/
dance events from the states and elsewhere. A central focus
of the US Jam Band scene, Were very pleased to be asked....There
was great feedback after our gig at the Atlanta echo project
in october xx see you all soon
November
07: Hi. We all had a great time in Marrakech, Morocco
at the Puro desert Lounge with Giles Peterson, Coldcut, Bryan
Ferry.etc.It was a crazy big old fort with amazing lighting.
right inthe heart of the old town- probably the most beautiful
venue weve ever played in... And the week before that was
the echo festival in Atlanta, deeeeep south USA, with the
Killers, flaming Lips, Michael Franti, Cypress Hill, Polyphonic
Spree , The Bravery. It was ace by the way, and hot, but freezing
at night. Camping in mid October, who'd have thought it? We
obviously integrated full on into the festival and did a second
gig mixing it up with Dj Chris Grass playing electro house
on the Sunday night, with the whole band, and laptop/percussion
set with him & Michaelangelo @ Halo Lounge, Atlanta the
next night. see myspace.com/theeggmusic
for youtube video. We met the Disco Biscuits and talked of
future gigs together.... lotsa fun lotsa fun. were talking
about future tours and festivals next year in the Staes, and
Forwards is coming out there in February... Been trying out
a few gigs with just laptops, keyboard bass and guitar, more
electronic, and DJ oriented..we all rocked out at halloween..
Thanks

nuts....Hope to see y'all around london in the next couple
of weeks. check Gigs
page for some fun events were playing at........

Well
thankyou for packing out the Big Chill Gig last weekend, we
were blown away by the crowd reaction, and sorry we couldnt
play longer, we had more funked up tunes ready to rock..!!
Still, it kicked off with the tocadisco remix...all good but
odd, in a good way, playing someone elses take on us, and
then jamming it back into an eggness thing...A good angle
we think, and you liked it, so..and who spotted the new oil
share price samples tune ?- its our carbon neutral song to
counteract going on a car advert!! ha
..Anyway
Well be able to do more another time, theres more gigs coming
up, including, just confirmed, Ragged
hedge fair (sorry the whole foundation festival was cancelled)
but its the same weekend (2nd & 3rd September), and nearby,
and itll be great.. Saturday night headline. so all the videos
should be there.... Thanks for all your support xxx see Gigs

JULY:
HI . been a busy time (again!) As you may have seen , Citroen
used the tocadisco remix of our tune'walking away' for their
robot dancing and skating car ad on ITV and Channel4. Its
been wierd because Pete Tong made it essential new tune, and
everyone went a bit nuts.
Then,
David Guetta, whos a big DJ in France, mashed it up with some
vocals from one of his previous tracks, and bootlegged it
out on 12". sounds wierd but happens alot in the music
industry . The mash up became a super big hit in the Miami
music conference earlier in March , and before you know it,
Pete Tong and everyone's playting it, so its kind of unstoppable
now.. This week its the Pet Sound on the Jo Whiley show (Radio
1), played every day and released August 14th.on GUT records.
a new video sometime too
Weve done a new song, called 'Nothing' out as a single in
September, and featuring on the Album 'Forwards', which has
been recut, with an extra CD with all the current remixes
on too (Mylo, Tocadisco, Abstract Geometry (Greg Hunter)..release
September 4th
Also
just done a Freddy Mercury remix for EMI who are doing a remix
compilation, and Queen approved it, so that's ok!! lots of
slide guitar, if you can imagine it....
And
were half way through an EP project in tribute to one of the
best drummers ever: Toby Pascoe, with contributions from Tiplane,
The Egg, Tim Holmes (death in vegas), Greg Hunter and Chris
Weston (original ORB members), the cover by Banksy, (toby's
best mate). no schedule yet, but watch this space...
see
you at the festivals : The Glade, Big Chill, Fawsley Fayre,
TDK, Bestival. See Gigs
page or our .myspace
page...
