About the Artist

Imagine Primus doing a pop-funk project...there yet? Now you have Eggshell Egoz. Their album, Funky Poetz is that slap happy album of pop-perfected funk with a tinge of obscurity riding the fringes, all soothed with the vocal performance and comfort of...

Turn on Your Funk Motor with the Eggshell Egoz Deb by Ronald Gross
Get a groove on with Funky Poetz, the Eggshell Egoz debut album produced by Ronan Chris Murphy (King Crimson, Tony Levin). The Egoz blend funk, rock and pop emulsifying these genres to create their own unique sound. The first single ‘Takin My Time’, has received radio airplay around the country and has had almost 2000 hits on their Myspace page ). The video can be seen on YouTube. Eggshell Egoz is the brainchild of frontman Dave Whitton and guitarist Dave Walker. After forming in 2001, they added their current funkafide rhythm section starring bassist Dale Vix and drummer Jay Setar. To round out the Egoz, they got metal-based rhythm guitarist Rodney Amieva who brought a whole new dimension to the group. The rock-funk sounds of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish and Psychophunkapus are echoed on songs like: “Funky Poetz”, “Slippery Slime”, “Environmentalists” and “Fungus”. While other tracks on the album are reminiscent of Hootie and the Blowfish and the Spin Doctors - not a bad combination. The real surprise on the album is “Manic Peaches”, not really in line with the other songs on the CD; this acoustic love ballad is laden with endearing lyrics and really highlights Dave Whitton’s vocal talent. You just can’t help wanting to break out a lighter and start swaying back and forth to it. Billed with acts such as Liz Phair, The Spin Doctors, and Quincy Jones, the Egoz have played hundreds of amazing venues, festivals, and charities including The Key Club, Whisky A Go-Go, NARM and Tide Fest. Their latest show is Saturday, July 21st at Taco Beach in Long Beach, California. Funky Poetz is a fun-filled; cruise to the beach type of debut. I say slather on some lotion, put the top down and crack open the new Eggshell Egoz CD

The Eggs came First and the Chickens Followed by James James ( Speak EZ )
Eggs come in many forms: boiled, poached, scrambled, raw, and well...quiche. Rarely, though, do eggs come in the form of sound, presence, and the unrivaled ability to charm the spirits of adoring fans. For those of you who haven't heard of Eggshell Egoz, get on the wagon because its filling up. Many people won't listen to a new band unless they can be compared to a household sound. Unfortunately, I can't do the band justice by comparing them to someone else because I might be hindering the Egoz' message and their talent. Dave Whitton (lead vocals) has a powerful yet charming depth that could seduce the minds of women and men alike. His appealing sound is rich, complex, and touching during songs such as Manic Peaches and Imbecile. Dave could probably sing in a stadium setting with 20,000 fans sans microphone. David Walker (lead guitarist) has been blessed with the ability to manifest unique sounds, and intelligent licks. His hands seem to be a surreal marionette controlled by some mad genius from above. The sound he creates is moving, spiritually and emotionally. Together, Dave and Dave are a breath of fresh air in an age of music that has desperate music lover searching the internet and garage sales for new sounds that might be buried away beneath the earth. Of course a band isn't a band without a beating heart. The Eggshell Egoz produce such an eclectic sound and much of it is attributed to the teamwork of bassist, Dale Vix, and drummer, Donovan Williams. It is because of their chemistry that one's foot or knee can't stop bouncing to the beat of such funk and soul. Their rhythmic nature they create can bring an instant smile to the most bitter of Captain Cold Hearts watching from afar. Both exude the fun, love, and imagination of a child and thriving hearts the same. I wish I could sum things up with words, but I can't. Get out and see these guys so you can brag about following them before they become a household name.

Eggshell Egoz are “jumpy, infectiously giddy” on ‘ by Carlos Redondo, World where yo
A group such as Eggshell Egoz could only have orig... A group such as Eggshell Egoz could only have originated from California. This jumpy, infectiously giddy band marries the white funk of the Red Hot Chili Peppers with the singalong pop hooks of the Barenaked Ladies and the sun-baked lethargy of Sublime. Want to become an instant Egoz fan? Listen to “Slippery Slime” first on headphones; let the stainless-steel bass lines and pumping drums invade your ear space and throw a party. Then cut to “Simple Toys” with its fuzzy, grungy riffs that lean towards psychedelia. These guys are unable to contain themselves on record; you can almost sense that they are sweating from all the energy they’re burning here. Vocalist Dave Whitton has a pleasant, soulful voice that works as a way of cooling off the hotbed of funk ‘n’ roll from his bandmates; it helps to give the songs balance and for listeners to catch their breath. When you have a tune as crazy as “Environmentalist” (echoing Fishbone’s most party-hard moments), you need an anchor to reel in the uninitiated, and Whitton provides that key. I don’t know how poetic Eggshell Egoz are, but they are funky without question.
