Eggy and Dogs in a Pile to Recreate Uncle Sammy and Addison Groove Project’s 2000 Joint Tour on the Road This Summer

Riding a recent wave of nostalgia for the early 2000s jamband scene, Connecticut’s Eggy and New Jersey’s Dogs in a Pile will revisit what was a pivotal moment in jamband history for a good 10-15 people later this summer.

The rising Northeast groups will pay tribute to Uncle Sammy and Addison Groove Project’s 2000 landmark trek from Gathering of the Vibes to Berkfest in its entirety, stopping in the same markets as those Boston-bred bands, covering their setlists and honoring those halcyon days by using a road atlas and pocket car phone as their only means to get from show to show. For venues that no longer exist, like New York’s beloved Wetlands, the group have partnered with Sofar Sounds to stage house shows in the apartment buildings that now sit on the sites of those storied spaces.

No advance tickets will be available, though the bands plan to provide more information on each show at their next college campus gigs where they can use the school’s ETHERNET to update their webpages. While on campus, the members of both Eggy and Dogs will also sit for the school’s new class Jamband Grammar 101, where they will guest lecture on the proper use of the hyphen in trance-fusion, the period placement in moe. and whether jamband should be one or two words.
