BREAKFAST ON TOUR
About Eggs :
Eggs grew up loving music. His father (Rooster) and Mother (Hen) taught him to love bands like The Allman Brothers Band, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and The Doors. Soon Eggs started to expand his music listening to include reggae, dub, ska and punk. Several years passed before Eggs started to shift his tastes again to more jammy acts like Phish, The Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic. This genre opened the door for many new types of music for Eggs, which found him frequenting more and more concerts. Over the next several years Eggs made it his top priority to enjoy as many live acts as he could. He has always been a teacher of music, to friends, family and the odd stranger here and there. He knows when something sounds good or bad, and will not let it go when he feels he it's right.
About Breakfast On Tour :
Breakfast On Tour was cooked up in the fall of 2007. The breakfast idea developed out of (oddly enough) an emergency room visit. Cereal accompanied a good friend to the ER a few weeks before Halloween 2007. She and Eggs had been racking their brains for costume ideas, and while she sat in the ER staring blankly at the TV, she had an epiphany (okay, so it was less of an epiphany and more of a commercial)--Froot Loops. When her friend returned, Cereal excitedly told her of her costume idea. She replied, "You should go as bacon and eggs or something--be breakfast!" And so breakfast was born.Eggs and Cereal decided to wear their costumes to the Voodoo Music Experience, and were determined to convince the rest of their group to become breakfast items. Fortunately, they were easily persuaded, and the original breakfast crew made their debut at the festival: Cereal, Eggs, Doughnut, Coffee, Toast, Bacon, and Syrup.While at Voodoo, the idea of creating a music-focused blog was discussed. And why not? Our favorite hobby is going to shows, and we talk about music constantly anyway, so...why not write about it? And here we are, Breakfast On Tour.We are tasty.We like to dress in costumes.We believe that people who deny backstage access to music-lovers clad in breakfast attire should have their heads examined. Who says no to breakfast?!We have a strict 'No Spin Zone' policy.We enjoy moshing, but only when protected by several layers of puffy goodness.Random parades featuring shopping carts decorated with Christmas lights hold a special place in our hearts.Come on, Lippy.
