Formed in 1992, Egghead. Released a slew of punk rock EPs before disappearing in 1998. Due to a clerical error, GenTech, the band’s parent corporation, accidentally dispatched the band to an arms conference in Upper Foreignslovabia. Ostensibly, the band’s goal was to unload overstock from the Munitions Division, especially the ill-fated A43A “Innocence Debaser” land-to-air missile. However, the lads took one look at the people of the region and detected a vacuum in the leadership. Within a week they had roused the native army and installed themselves as a ruling triumvirate. They were beloved and feted as living gods until Mike Faloon (drums) insisted that the citizens house his ever-growing collection of prog rock. More than one youngster was felled by a vinyl copy of the mighty Yessongs 3-LP set. Alas, these misfortunes inspired a popular uprising and the band barely escaped with their lives.
But escape they did, taking three different paths to flee their adopted homeland. John Ross Bowie (bass, vocals) went on to become the star of the CW sitcom That Guy Is Really Handsome, Yet Accessible, a role which has garnered him three Emmys, a Grammy and a Pulitzer. And when not busy 'advising' Goldman Sachs and designing deep-sea oil wells for BP, Johnny Reno (guitar, vocals) spent several years attempting to breed a dog that only lives for a month, for people that want a dog but are leaving town in a month. Faloon spent the intervening years rooting for the Mets.
In early 2010, by some bizarre twist of fate, those three different paths led to the Laundry Room in East LA. The trio reconnected, gave Reno a sponge bath, and recorded their full-length debut, nearly 18 years after first forming. In the name of crushing your spirits and thrilling your souls, they present Egghead. Would Like A Few Words With You.
