Egg Hunt - Me And You


Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson (both formerly of Minor Threat) recorded a two-song single while in England over Easter weekend in 1986.
That summer they tried forming a new band called Egg Hunt with ex-members of Gray Matter, but it wasn't meant to be. Egg Hunt would turn out to be the last time the two would record music together.


"Me And You" was the only 7" vinyl record by Egg Hunt, released in 1986 on Dischord Records.

Tracklisting:
1. Me And You

3 - Dark Days Coming


3 was formed in the summer of 1986. After recording the Egg Hunt songs in England, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson considered forming a new band. They played with Geoff Turner and Steve Niles of Gray Matter, but the project never got off the ground and Ian decided to leave. The others carried on and soon added yet another Gray Matter member, Mark Haggerty, and this line-up would become 3.
The band recorded a demo and played a few shows, but disbanded prior to the release of their only album "Dark Days Coming". 3 and Happy Go Licky played their last shows together on New Year's Day, 1988.

Geoff Turner - vocals & guitar
