- Kenny Young and the Eggplants is a semi-acoustic musical trio from Brooklyn in New York City, with band members Kenny Young (guitars and vocals), Eddie Logue (percussion) and Gil Shuster (bass). The band originated in the early 1980s, at which time the lineup consisted of Young and Shuster plus Jeff Katz on percussion, with a variety of guest vocalists providing harmonies. Eggplants music has been described as somewhere between whimsy, psychedelia and classic lo-fi pop. "Perhaps because no one can figure out exactly what the heck they are, the Eggplants get invited to play an intriguing variety of venues" and have made appearances for college audiences, for children, at science-fiction conventions and at festivals. The Eggplants have been said to "give eloquent voice to the multifaceted neuroses of prolonged adolescence" and "take the audience into a world of talking alligators, aliens and pirates... " The Eggplants cite among their many influences Velvent Underground, Monty Python's Flying Circus, They Might Be Giants, Violent Femmes, Jonathan Richman and Frank Zappa. The band has perhaps a greater following in the UK than in its home country and has played at the Edinburgh Fringe on and off since 1991. The front cover of the first album, Even One Is Quite A Few, depicts the cartoon smiling eggplant that is now the band's logo.
