Here we are again with a brand new Egg blog and I’m stumped at where to start. There are so many things to share with everyone. First off I’d like to thank all our friends and fans that have come out to see us at our recent shows. Also a huge huge thanks to Amy Perl for flying down from San Francisco to take some pictures of Egg. She is one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever seen, and when I heard that she was coming down I was actually petrified. I felt like the The Prez himself had just called me in for a meeting. First, I was, Wow how exciting then Oh no !! am I going to dress ok, is she going to think I’m a weirdo, or that I don’t photograph well enough. All went amazingly smooth, if your a face-booker you can see some of the photos by becoming a fan of the Egg band face-book page. Thank you again Amy. I highly recommended if you get a chance to look her up at www.amyperl.com.
In more Egg news I recently had the privilege of collaborating with another kids artist named Secret Agent 23 Skidoo on a remix of our song “I Like Fruit.” I heard his stuff on XM Kids one afternoon while doing the laundry and was floored. After a little internet digging we actually got in touch with each other and the connection was instant. He is an East Coast Hip Hop version of Egg. In that we both are parents of young girls who have a huge influence on our music. Also we both have a strong belief that kids music shouldn’t be dumbed down. We are who we are and we play music that both adults and kids can listen to. You can check him out at http://www.secretagent23skidoo.com/.
We have yet to release the single but you can request it at the radio show/podcast Spare the Rock Spoil The Child go to http://www.sparetherock.com/ to check it out. The icing on the cake is that we will be performing the song together in New York City at Stinkfest on May 2nd. Stink is the first-ever family music conference that fully embraces today’s market in all it’s diversity go to http://stinkfest.com/ for more info. We are both very excited to perform together and also to actually meet in person. Our entire collaboration has been done via the internet and on the phone. What a wonderfully small world it has become.
Lastly we Eggers have been thinking of posting some of the Egg scribble shirts the kids have been so beautifully coloring in some of our upcoming blogs, rumor has it that we might even be having a contest of sorts. So if you have any pictures of the little guys sporting their Egg shirts, send them our way, we’d love to see them at egg@eggmusic.net
Have a great day
Jeff
