E.G.G. (Band)
E.G.G. (pronounced simply 'egg') was a band formed in October of 1987. The band consisted of six members: Christian Dallago (Guitar, Vocals) Mac Whittington (Bass) Conor Davis (Guitar) Harry Dreyfuss (Keyboard, Piano) Tate Boley (Drums) and Noah Koski (Violin, Tambourine). E.G.G. originated in a small town in Idaho called Sun Valley. E.G.G. began as a teenage garage band with no intent on actually becoming successful in the music industry, but they quickly were noticed by scouts at their first performance. The first 'gig' the band got was playing at Open Mic Night at their high school. To publicize their performance posters were put up around town saying, "Come watch E.G.G. hatch into beautiful music." This performance took place on January 16th. Though the band originally only planned on playing three songs, the performance lasted three hours due to the crowd's demanding calls for encores. Ecstatic, Christian Dallago, front-man of E.G.G. began making plans for future shows. The band members were being flooded with fan-mail and calls from the local papers demanding that they give interviews. Harry Dreyfuss and Mac Whittington gave one interview for the Wood River Journal. Mac Whittington joked, "We certainly didn't expect the attention that we've been getting. We thought we would only hatch into beautiful music once." On January 20th Christian, known as 'Mish' by his bandmates, was contacted by a local talent agent. The agent, Reed Stokes, told Dallago that he had miraculously gotten E.G.G. a gig in one day to play at the state capitol of Boise. The Band hopped a bus at 8 AM on January 21st. At 10 AM the bus-driver saw a horsed-drawn wagon crossing the intersection (known as the 'Blinking Light' to locals). The driver swerved to not hit the wagon, but he was too late. There are no witnesses to the crash that can explain exactly what happened, but the horse unfortunately died, as did every member of E.G.G. except for Noah Koski. The bus driver and wagon driver also survived but both recieved concussions and haven't yet made any formal statements about the accident. Koski returned home, after a short stay at St. Lukes Hospital, and did not make a public statement for over a month. On March fifth Koski did an interview for the Wood River Journal. He said, "I don't know what happened. We we're all playing cards when there was a swerve and the bus flipped. I must have passed out, but when I woke up I was in a hospital. I couldn't believe my friends were gone. I know it might sound cheesy but, I must say now that I will never play the violin again." Because of the death of the majority of the band and the vow not to play made by Koski, E.G.G. will obviously not return. Funerals for all five other band members were held on Febuary 15th. The locals of Sun Valley now prefer to now speak of the tragedy that was E.G.G.
