Two of New England’s (and, uh, New York City’s) finest progressive acts are heading out on tour together. Prog-metal act Autocatalytica (featuring Emmett Ceglia on drums, who you may recall as the handsome devil from Sugar Bomb!) and math-experimental band Oculesics (who used to feature Ceglia on drums, but that’s besides the point) are covering the North East for a handful of dates this April. Oculesics were one of the first bands beyond Giraffes? Giraffes! that exposed me to math rock, so if you’re into complex music that isn’t twinkly, you’re in for a treat.
The bands have dubbed the outing the Master Egg Tour. In a joint statement, both bands said: “The egg [sic] gives us guidance and provides in our time of need. Do not speak badly of the egg, you cannot respect yourself until you properly respect it.” I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, why would I speak badly of The Egg?
Stream a song from each band and see the tour dates after the jump.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
