Egg was an English progressive rock band formed in July 1968. The founding members of the group were Dave Stewart who played organ (not to be confused with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics), Mont Campbell on bass and vocals and drummer Clive Brooks. The band emerged from an earlier quartet formed whilst at City of London Boys School called Uriel (who released one album only under the name Arzachel) with guitarist Steve Hillage. They are often regarded as part of the Canterbury Scene, a loose movement of progressive and psychedelic musicians, but Stewart has denied any connection beyond a quirk of geography.
