An electronics-heavy but performance-oriented group influenced by a wide variety of styles (including jazz-funk, prog rock, drum'n'bass, and Madchester), the Egg -- centered around brothers Matt and Ned Scott -- formed in Oxford, England, in 1994. The group released a couple singles on Cup of Tea before linking with Indochina for their first full-length, 1996's Albumen. The group continued to release singles at a somewhat steady pace through Travelator, an album produced by Death in Vegas' Tim Holmes that was released in 1998. Though their third album, Forward, didn't surface until 2005, the members remained active with a host of singles and EPs, side projects (including Stuff and the Oricalc Phase) and perfomances. ~ Andy Kellman
