The Egg is a British electronic dance music band, consisting of Ned Scott (keyboards), Maff Scott (drums), Paul Marshall (bass) and Matt White (lead guitar). ==History== Founded in the early 1990s in Oxford, England the Egg released its first album, the EP ''Shopping'' (1995) on the independent record label, Cup of Tea Records. Having been signed by China Records, in 1996 the band released the album ''Albumen''; in the US on Discovery Records in 1997. In 1998 the follow-up album, ''Travelator'', was released, produced by Tim Holmes of Death in Vegas. In 2000, the group recorded the theme tune to the Yorkshire Television show, ''At Home with the Braithwaites''. Following ''Travelator'', the Egg began exploring the new directions. Following their ''Mellowmania EP'' in 2002, they were signed by Bar de Lune Records, a subsidiary of Beechwood Music. Beechwood folded the following year just before a return with their new album, ''Forwards'', (produced by Benji Vaughan) and subsequently released on Squarepeg Records in 2004. The single "Walking Away" (featuring Sophie Barker of Zero 7) was released in 2005, and further remixes commissioned by licensees. This became a crossover hit, and spawned the bootleg by David Guetta, "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)", to reach #3 in the UK Singles Chart in August 2006. In 2006, The Egg played at The Big Chill, Bestival, Glastonbury, and other venues across Europe. The following year saw more UK music festivals appearances. In 2007 they toured Australia and Brazil for the 1st time playing most major cities in each country. In 2008, The Egg contributed the song "Trails and Tribulations" to the ''Songs for Survival'' Survival International charity album, and later in the year they played at Camp Bisco 7 in New York. They also toured the United States extensively in 2008, 2009 and 2010. They have recently completed a new album called "Something To Do" on Squarepeg Records which is due for release in August 2012. The 1st single from the album is 'Catch', which will be well known to audiences who have seen them live in the last couple of years and this was released on 8 July 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Egg (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
