A Case for Hatching: My Eulogy for Egg Punk Explained by Martin Meyer

Gimmie Sopor

sixbigboys I just find the whole thing embarrassing (including the fact that, I, a man in his 40s, feel the need to weigh in on this shit).

I'm 40+ too, but I appreciate input on this hot topic from fellow nerds who weren't born yesterday. It would be great to hear what youngsters deeply involved in egg punk/devo-core or whatever you want to label it have to say, but I think and hope they'll dismiss us as a bunch of pathetic old farts if they see this thread. And so it should be!

Mama Goblin where art thou?

sixbigboys I finally got around to listening to Evinspragg (the band that prompted Martin’s eulogy), and it just sounds like a Lumpy records band trying their hand at a Straw Man Army record

yeah its funny because in his attempt to distance this record from eggpunk, a sentiment I get, it seems like this band and their music has taken a backseat and now they are the posterchild for the to egg or not to egg conversation.

Randall

I think the only way for this to be resolved is for Marty and the European fellow who performs in the giant egg costume to have a televised debate.

Randall wait I need to know more about this guy?!

Randall Oh god, you’re talking about this German band Egg Idiot. Was unlucky enough to see them last year and I don’t really have the words right now. « Pathetic » comes to mind, though. It felt like someone hard forced a bunch of very depressed looking German adults to read the « egg punk » guidebook and to start the most « egg punk » band ever or something. Why, but why?

ratcharge

Randall Would probably want to see that debate, though. Just once. Before burning it to the ground.

connie v each of mine i spend i dunno lets say 10 to 15 years.....

Randall

At least they've still got their dignity.

sixbigboys

lol, I actually did the Bandcamp write-up for that Egg Idiot record as a favor to that label. I didn’t love it, but the music honestly isn’t the worst. The shtick on the other hand 😬

Or Protes Bengt. They got plenty of songs about eggs

Äggkopp (Egg Cup)

The rest are not available as seperate tracks on Youtbe but they got tracks like Ett Sex-Pack Ägg (A Sixpack Egg), Slicka Mina Ägg (Lick My Eggs), Manglar Som Ägg (Mangles Like Eggs) and the aptly titled Eggs (Ägg)

Uptown ruler 666 420

Pile of Eggs and The Mad are the only good egg bands

Edith Massey was the original egg punk in Pink Flamingos and with Edie & The Eggs

Randall

Do we finally have the answer to the age old question of which came first?
Is this proto-eggpunk
