I always assumed Egg Hunt must have been a band that existed very briefly and then fell apart, until I finally read the story a couple of years ago: Ian and Jeff Nelson flew over to the UK to have a face to face meeting with John Loder of Southern about their Dischord Records European distribution deal going forward. Loder let them stay at his place for the weekend, which was huge and had a nice 24-track studio. They hashed out the distribution details on Saturday. On Sunday, they had nothing to do, and Loder told them they could use the studio if they wanted, since nobody else was using it that day. Ian and Jeff went in and recorded two songs, Loder let them keep the tape and they flew home on Monday. Ian thought the songs were pretty good, so he released them as a 7-inch single. The Sunday they were recorded on happened to be Easter, so he named it Egg Hunt. It was never a band or a project per se, it was just Ian and Jeff fucking around in a studio for a few hours because they could.
Oh damn thanks for this, this is super interesting! I do wish I had done more research on the bands Ian was in that I mentioned. I didn’t really think about it but I’m glad to have read this man
Thanks for that- I love this music. Mentioning the Bad Brains- I saw them once with a friend and his buddy who loved punk and hated reggae. He went from slamming to pissed off so many times it was hard to count. It was spectacular.
Great summary. Great footage. Really love the enthusiasm and dedication as you truly are a dedicated super fan. BUT it's interesting how in your narration you seem "flabbergasted" at how and when Fugazi never go for the big cash grab money bag. 💰 Ever. Especially very early in their career. Um, yeah. That's exactly the type of band they've always been. It may sound impossible these days but not every band gets together for the chance to become millionaires. Anyone would get that sense about them if they saw their INSTRUMENT documentary. Directed by their friend Jem Cohen. And released a couple years before 9/11.
There are some Albini mixes of their In On The Killtaker album on RUclips. He used roughly the same mixing style as with Shellac and Slint. It sounds nice on the instrumental tracks, but horrible everywhere else.
Yeah I realized right after finished the video😅 but I was having such a hard time with my editing software that I just bit the bullet on it. Thank you though!
The fact that Guy played Rickenbacker guitars was a surprise to me , yet cool of course cuz I love & play Ricks myself , also cuz Fugazi sound identical to the Beatles ! buh-buh-buh-boosheet !!
for Waiting Room in particular, they wanted to use the original version where they fucked up but Ted Nicely was so pissed that they wanted to do that he made them use the non-fucked up version
Yeah I heard about that. He said something like “there’s no way anyone would have listened to them if they used the original version” also thx for the info on Dischord records I never knew that
@@Jamsandwhichtopia yeah np. and also the backup vocalist on life and limb was Bridget Cross. i really enjoyed your video btw. i really like these kinds of lowkey reviews or history of type videos. i think it couldve done with some more research but it was still good.
@@Cotekn thanks man! Yeah I’m still a little bummed about my research skills but thankfully I’m just starting out so I have a lot of opportunity to learn and improve B)
There's also not supposed to be some missing lyric in the break. The take on the demo has a false start of the first verse. Why make a video about a band you clearly don't listen to or know anything about?
I believe the female backup singer was Mary Timony. Also I saw them back in 2019 at Ft. Reno Washington DC live (event they organize every summer since the 80s I think) they called themselves Coriky minus Guy and Brendan but with Ian's wife in vox/drums.
In on the killtaker is in my top 3 of all time. Loved the composition and energy and spirit of this album. I like how it is meant to be listened all the way through, same with red medicine. Those are my top 2 although Argument may have the best few songs. In my opinion Ex Spectator is a masterpiece of everything they do well
Fugazi were a great band. Ahead of their time. Not punk really but the spirit of the whole thing is very punk. D I Y. Keep it simple stupid. Ian is the real deal. They don't promote their art but still managed to sell 300,000 albums. I don't know how many albums they ended up putting out but they were all pretty good. I want to listen to all of them.
i think dave tends to make an older style of rock and isnt very progressve as in terms of nirvana and sunny day real estate even tho they make good music and everlong is probably one of the most ahead of its time songs ever with all the love its getting now @@Jamsandwhichtopia
Fubar means fucked up beyond all recognition Fugazi means fake. You're wrong about the pause in waiting room also. Teen idols came before Minor threat. Discord records came before fugazi. Your whole video is full of misinformation.
I was waiting to see if someone would bring all this up. You get to be "that guy". Also, while "fugazi" does mean fake, there are numerous interviews where the band chose the name in regards to the acronym slang term "f*cked up, got ambushed, zipped in" which is the Vietnam version of fubar.
Go check out my newest video on Bad Brains if you liked what you saw here! ruclips.net/video/japY_DLzkfk/видео.htmlsi=Xzy3mLZce1nqC0rV

Steady diet was great.
It’s pretty good. I was surprised that a lot of people didn’t seem to like it as much. Maybe it’s an acquired taste for some
Great video. I recently started listening to Fugazi. This is very interesting.
Thanks! I’ve got quite a few other punk videos too if you’re in search of similar bands!
the slinkees and teen idles were before minor threat :)
Thx for letting me know :) my ass should’ve researched the side bands more lol
Thanks for that- I love this music. Mentioning the Bad Brains- I saw them once with a friend and his buddy who loved punk and hated reggae. He went from slamming to pissed off so many times it was hard to count. It was spectacular.
Lol that sounds hilarious. I wish I was old to enough to have seen these bands live

Thanks for the comment man! I was just surprised cause no one I know (myself included) would be able to refuse even if the point wasn’t to make money
Steady Diet is my fave, but every album is top drawer. I saw them on the In on the Killtaker and Argument tours.
My favs are Steady Diet & End Hits
Saw them twice live. $5 tickets.
What a steal!
Teen idles was before minor threat
Yeah I’ve learned that since making this. Thanks for letting me know
There are some Albini mixes of their In On The Killtaker album on RUclips. He used roughly the same mixing style as with Shellac and Slint. It sounds nice on the instrumental tracks, but horrible everywhere else.
heads up, the name MacKaye rhymes with "sky" :)
Yeah I realized right after finished the video😅 but I was having such a hard time with my editing software that I just bit the bullet on it. Thank you though!
great video. best band of all time!
Thanks man! Glad you liked it. I’m uploading one on Bad Brains in the next couple days too B)
The albini demo's of some of the in on the killtaker songs are on youtube.
Oh thanks for letting me know man I’ll check them out!
The fact that Guy played Rickenbacker guitars was a surprise to me , yet cool of course cuz I love & play Ricks myself , also cuz Fugazi sound identical to the Beatles ! buh-buh-buh-boosheet !!
Erm guys I found this underground band called the Beatles
for Waiting Room in particular, they wanted to use the original version where they fucked up but Ted Nicely was so pissed that they wanted to do that he made them use the non-fucked up version
also Dischord was not originally made for Fugazi. Ian started it way earlier for Teen Idles instead
Yeah I heard about that. He said something like “there’s no way anyone would have listened to them if they used the original version” also thx for the info on Dischord records I never knew that
@@Jamsandwhichtopia yeah np. and also the backup vocalist on life and limb was Bridget Cross.

Ohh interesting. Thx for the comment I love hearing people’s personal stories about the band
Is that Amy Farina from The Evens doing backup?
I’m not sure, different people commented different things but I appreciate the suggestion

Thanks for the comment! In On The Killtaker is great
Excellent video bro
Thanks man! I’m glad you liked the editing :)

Thanks man I’m glad to hear!
The Candysnatchers will always be one of the best out of Virginia...Virginia Beach is more punk than you!!
erm actually they're a noise rock band.... :B
Ok pal you’re done for looking up your address now
@@Jamsandwhichtopia LOL

You definitely should!
Such a funny editing
I listened up until you said fugazi was a Vietnamese word.
Aight
foo fighters was a super group itself. 2 members from sunny day real estate one from the germs. and nirvana i guess.
That’s true! For some reason I know a lot of people that don’t like the Foo Fighters but I think they’re pretty good
i think dave tends to make an older style of rock and isnt very progressve as in terms of nirvana and sunny day real estate even tho they make good music and everlong is probably one of the most ahead of its time songs ever with all the love its getting now @@Jamsandwhichtopia
13 Songs is best, Repeater is okay, everything else is meh. The moment had passed, I guess you had to be there. My opinion.
Thx for the comment I always enjoy reading what other people have to say about their music
I always loved Ian MacKaye and Minor Threat. Th
Minor Threat is awesome. Honestly you should check out all of his bands. And also Dag Nasty and Rites Of Spring
Fubar means fucked up beyond all recognition Fugazi means fake. You're wrong about the pause in waiting room also. Teen idols came before Minor threat. Discord records came before fugazi. Your whole video is full of misinformation.
Ohh ok!

@@Jamsandwhichtopia homie, if only one person discovers this amazing band because of your video, ya done good.
