| About The Eggmen |
|
Formed in Austin,Texas in 1991, long before anyone had heard of a "Tribute Band", The Eggmen started playing Beatles music for anyone who’d listen. Turns out, that was a lot of people.
They’ve played everywhere from backyards to the Governor’s Mansion, weddings to conventions to Christmas parties, from Sugarland to Salt Lake City. The Eggmen are 6-time winners of the Austin Music Awards "BEST COVER BAND" and in the 2005 National Music Awards they won "AMERICA’S BEST TRIBUTE BAND". They have opened for many legendary artists such as Herman’s Hermits, The Grass Roots, The Turtles, Three Dog Night, and Big Brother & the Holding Company.
If it’s a guitar, bass, or drumkit The Beatles played, The Eggmen play it too. Not just for "the look" but for "THE SOUND".
THE SHOW:
1st Set: ’62-’66, Matching suits, Hofner bass, Rickenbackers, Gretsch, Ludwig drums. You know the gear, and you know the songs, which include:"A Hard Day’s Night", "Help!", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You".
2nd Set: ’67-’70 Psychedelic outfits and lighting, The Beatles were using different instruments by then and so do The Eggmen, Rickenbacker bass, Epiphones, "Rocky" Strat, electric sitar. Songs include:"A Day in The Life", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hey Jude", "Back in the USSR", and Side Two of "Abbey Road".
3rd Set: British Invasion(and some Americans too), Hits from bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds, Herman’s Hermits, The Monkees, The Byrds, The Zombies, The Standells, and many more. "Satisfaction", "I Can See For Miles", "Henry VIII", "Last Train to Clarksville", "Mr. Tambourine Man". And of course, another costume change and more guitars!
THE BAND:
John-rythym guitar, keys, harmonica. The Leader.
Tommo-keys. The Jester.
Basil-lead guitar, keys, sound effects. The Guru.
Steven-drums. The Scot.
Nigel-bass, electric sitar. Soon to be a father!
Brian-stage manager, guitar tech, extra guitar/percussion. The Playboy.
