This is our Hallowed Eve tradition, and we're sticking to it. May your treats exponentially exceed the tricks. {thunderegg} - The Envelope Pushes Back - What About (The Children) (Single Edit) mp3

One day, on Facebook, I got a friend request from Will Georgantas . I thought, "Who?" So I Soogled him. Nothing related to me came up, but he seemed interesting, and he was from New York- the big city. I am not. I thought, hey, the more the merrier- I'm not making friends in real-life, why not go for online? Georgantas belongs to (or is) a band called Thunderegg. They have a group on facebook that you should join, because you get freebies of developing songs and stuff. I like a transparent artist that takes you from [...]
Having spent some time locked in the Sound of Music studios, Thunderegg, who I've mentioned before, are approaching the release of their new album, probably some time this Autumn. Laid back rock sounds, witty lyrics and a really engaging way about their music tend to follow these lads around, so I am assuming we can expect [...]

Brooklyn, NY Will Georgantas is the backbone of Thunderegg and he gets musical assistance from friends in New York and Connecticut. I suggest checking these guys out if you like your tunes earnest and melodic. "If You Were Paper" Thunderegg on MySpace
Well after all that frothing and complaining I needed something to settle me down and here I have it. Mellifluous is going to be the word of the week and will crop up in at least two more posts before the weekend, so if you have any sort of allergy then I suggest you keep your adrenalin syringe handy. Today's portion of mellifluvium (now that really should be a word!) is served by Thunderegg , a relaxingly familiar bunch of indie slackers (actually I don't know this for a fact, I'm completely making it [...]
... Way back when in 2005 the Brooklyn-based band Thunderegg decided to record a new song once a week for every week of the year. They've now released a selection on a limited edition (100 copies) 15 track CD, and you can buy your own for $10 including postage from their website. The compilation shows Will Georgantas' softer and more romantic side (you can still get the previously collected
I have actually managed to buy and listen to a lot of new music this year, although there seems to be a surfeit of it around at present. As usual, every magazine end-of-year list has been deeply unimaginative and chart-based, so here's mine, albeit similarly unimaginative and chart-based (but at least subjectively quirky and personal, hmm - there's something oddly homo-erotic in list-making
From Penn Station to Empire State, originally uploaded by Southcoasting.Only spent two nights in NYC, but they were pretty busy and lots of fun. Saw lots of art with K in the galleries in West Chelsea. Got caught in a thunderstorm. Went shopping for shoes, successfully (thanks K). Bought a Viva Voce CD. Ate well (beef wraps, thai noodles, french breakfasts) and drank better. Took a train, took a

The only two essential bands in America today: Thunderegg and the Mountain Goats The 'Egg bask in semi-obscurity ("poised to break into cult status"), the Goats have grown into a major label cult, but both have been incredibly productive, in spite of their obscurity, and are writing some of the best songs in America today. Thunderegg started out in Yale in 1993 under the name Larry. They
