About this project
Hello, We are Dylan Gilbert & The Over Easy Breakfast Machine.
We're an experimental garage pop band from Charlotte NC.
We are currently recording our next full length LP (it would be our 6th album altogether). This time around we decided to try and push our creativity and musical abilities to new areas by constructing an elaborate concept album or rock opera in the vein of The Wall by Pink Floyd, Tommy by The Who or Songs From The Black Hole by Weezer. It follows the life of ex-astronaut Jonah Collywobble who splits up with his wealthy alcoholic girlfriend, Astrid Cuttlefish, to "find himself" and ends up joining a group of eccentric explorers called The Curious Cavalcade on their quest to find a gateway to another dimension that they believe is the entrance to heaven. The album's influences include Tom Waits, Brian Wilson, Frank Zappa, David Lynch, Surf Rock, Atonal Music and Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
We've already started recording the album and have released one song called "I Was Young" for free at http://dylangilbert.bandcamp.com . This song works as a prologue to the whole story.
We're trying to raise $2,000 to help us master and duplicate the album. We would love you to be a part in helping us share our music with the world.
Thank You
-Dylan Gilbert & The Over Easy Breakfast Machine

When Charlotte, NC native Dylan Gilbert first started recording songs at the age of 13, they were just a patchwork of the visions bubbling around in his head. His father's four-track was only a temporary place for them to rest. Now at 23, Gilbert has released 5 albums which delve deep into a unique indie rock sound adding touches of garage rock, folk, jazz and experimental music. Dylan Gilbert has performed over 400 shows from Georgia to New York since 2006, sharing the stage with national acts such as Owen Pallett (Domino), Paper Tongues (A&M Octone), Lost In The Trees (Anti-), Benji Hughes (New West) and Screaming Females. His music is currently available on iTunes, Amazon.com, CDbaby.com, Rhapsody, Napster and more. Dylan Gilbert & The Over Easy Breakfast Machine, his new band featuring Zach Jordan and John Harrell III, are currently touring the east coast and recording new material through 2011.
