The Eggmen

The Eggmen are a Beatles tribute band. They are made up of 5 older men who formed in 1992. I think it is really neat that a band like this has been formed because it gives the younger generation an oppurtunity to still hear The Beatles songs in concert, even if they aren't as spectacular as The Beatles themselves. Now when you first hear them, they definently aren't as talented as The Beatles. Plus they are older, so their voices don't have as much ability as a younger person's would. But if you give them the benefit of the doubt, they do have some potential. Yes there are some notes that are off and could be perfected, but when they harmonize, they really shine. They do a very good job of balancing each other's voices. It is apparent that it is something they have practiced quite often because it is one of their better techniques. What I think is even cooler is the fact that they are a local band. I heard about them from a girl, who I was talking about The Beatles with and she said, "Oh, my sister loves The Beatles. She had the Eggmen play at her wedding." That was a couple weeks ago and I kept meaning to write a blog about them and I never got around to it. Anyways, as I said earlier, I think they do have potential as a group together. If they practice, practice, practice, I think they could really become something good. And I would definently consider checking them out. They are always performing around the city.

Here is A Hard Days Night:

Like I said, you can hear some rough spots, but it is overall a pretty good performance. I think this is one of their better covers.

Here is Twist and Shout. Overall a decent performance.

And finally here is Roll Over Beethoven:
