Imagine Primus doing a pop-funk project...there yet? Now you have Eggshell Egoz, a slap happy band of pop-perfected funk with a tinge of obscurity riding the fringes, all soothed with the vocal performance and comfort of Jack Johnson. In two words...Joyride Rock!
2009 brings energy, fun, placements, and a brand new album. Eggshell's third album, Naked, is set to release in Fall 09', their single "Take To The Sky" leads the way. With US shows lined up throughout the Summer, Eggshell is venturing out of the US and into Europe, so look out for your top down joyride, it'll take the stress of the day away!
09' also brings the double placements of Taking My Time and Funky Poetz in the new indie feature film, Off The Ledge (www.Offtheledgemovie.com), out in theaters in the fall. A sex, drugs, and rock n' roll film in the vein of pulp fiction and garden state. It's slated for release in the fall and the buzz is bouncing off the walls.With strong
but vulnerable vocals, critics have defined Eggshell's all original sound as-
"Great music, great lyrics, great fun", PCH radio show.
"A group such as Eggshell Egoz could only have originated from California. This
jumpy, infectiously giddy band marries the white funk of the Red Hot Chili Peppers with
the singalong pop hooks of the Barenaked Ladies and the sun-baked lethargy of
Sublime.", Carlos Redondo, World Where you live
"It is fun stuff, the kind of partying music you want blowing out of your speakers on
a summer afternoon", Howie Mitchell, Fear of a Rap Planet
"Rarely do eggs come in the form of sound, presence, and the unrivaled ability to
charm the spirits of adoring fans." J James Speak EZ radio.
"Eccletic, a painting for the ears", (Kelly Matfa, Music World)
"Down home grooves that get you bobbin' and smiling while enveloping you with a feel
good blanket" (Catsask Music and Entertainment)
"Fun filled; cruise to the beach type of debut, slather on some lotion"
(Ronald Gross, blogger news)
Formed in 2001, Eggshell Egoz roots are the brainchild of vocalist Dave Whitton and
guitarist Dave Walker, two ambitious artists with a knack for colorful, literature-style
song writing. After the band's early experiments with cellos, saxophones, trumpets, and
congas, they found bassist Dale Vix, drummer Jay Setar, and metal-based rhythm guitarist
Rodney Amieva.
Billed with acts such as Killola, Liz Phair, Gavin Rossdale (Institute), Raining Jane, Outlett, and Quincy Jones, the Egoz have played hundreds of amazing venues, festivals, and charities including
The Key Club, Whisky A Go-Go, NARM, Tide Fest, Charities for Cancer research, and the
Rocker's for life. Their anthology of music consists of over 50 original songs with a few
covers and can be heard on an abundance of radio stations, online and also in the soon to
be released animated movie Trampoline.
