Flied Egg was a rock band from Japan, founded in 1972. In their short lifespan they released two albums: "Dr. Siegel’s Fried Egg Shooting Machine" (Vertigo, 1972) and "Good Bye" (Vertigo, 1972).
The debut featured a mix of accessible psych-pop-prog, hard-riffing heavy rock (with some moves directly lifted from early Uriah Heep), and early progressive tendencies. The last album was mostly live (from their farewell concert, apparently) and leaned more towards their heavy rock side, notably influenced by Grand Funk circa "Live Album" and numerous Black Sabbath-meets-Mountain wannabes, and including a couple of old Strawberry Path songs.
The studio material was in a similar vein to the range of styles on their first album. Drummer Hiro Tsunoda had previously been in The Jacks, Foodbrain and Strawberry Path, and was also in Sadistic Mika Band at some point. Bassist Masayoshi Takanaka had previously been in Brush.
