Vice or Virtue: an Eggy pod

Justin Bruce welcomes Brian Wolf back to the pod to discuss our favorite Eggy covers. Next, we highlight cover sets the band has played over the years. Lastly, we sheepishly suggest future cover choices (starts around 1:08 into episode). This episode includes 31 Eggy clips, each about 1 minute in length, and 9 clips of possible covers, so kick back and relax.Here's a Nugs.net playlist from Brian of most of the covers and cover sets we, um, cover in this episode.At the end of the episode, Justin mentions the great Flowers on the Stage podcast, which recently published an episode with Alex, following Jake's appearance in January. Both are recommended!Follow Vice or Virtue on InstagramFollow Justin Bruce on MastodonFollow Justin Bruce on BlueskyEmail viceorvirtueaneggypod at gmail dot com
