    Artist description
    Formed in St. Catharines, Ontario Canada during the winter of 1993, singer Cashmere and drummer Bug set out to be the musicial black sheep of the Niagara music scene. From their early performances of cross-dressing and verbally assaulting their audiences, the Egg People quickly gained noteriety in Southern Ontario and became one of the area’s largest drawing bands. Over the next 7 years, along with bassist J.A.M.E.S. and guitarist Spanky B., the band had recorded over 200 songs, 8 full-length cassettes, 4 CDs, filmed a documentary and has appeared on numerous compilations. Revenge Of The Egg People’s unique sound has baffled critics who have attempted to make comparisions. Names like the Dickies, PIL, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, CIV, Face To Face have been uttered, but no set style has been committed to. What is said universally, though, is that the Egg People write very catchy songs. To see the band live is to witness them in their natural environment - crisp, focused, and hungary. With the signing to Stumble Records in 1999, Revenge Of The Egg People introduce “the gummie bear murders”, the acme of their career (thus far).

    Artist History
    The collection “the gummie bear murders” was a year in the making. Produced by Dean Malton at Groundloop studios in Niagara Falls, Canada, the group recorded three times the amount of required material before it was stripped down to 14 tracks to create the band’s best outing to date. Dedicated to capture the band’s energy and extreme volume to tape, Malton had the band record with 3 drum kits, 8 different amplifiers using over a dozen guitars during the process. The first single and video, “I’m Electric”, has inspired two remixes - one by techno whiz-kid Karma K (available on the CD, and the second by electronica guru Nuxx of the industrial group MDM (mp3). The Gummie Bear Murders is now available on Stumble Records.
