About this concert
https://www.facebook.com/thelovelyeggs/Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult"First lines are important. A strong incipit should command attention instantly. But there are strong opening gambits, and then there's the brash hilarity of people are twats. Difficult to argue with, huh? The Lovely Eggs are That Sort Of Band.Naturally, their splendidly oddball lyrics are the hook, incorporating subjects as universally important as obsessive worrying, crappy jobs and agreeing to another pint even though it's late and you're up early for work the next day. No-one likes a smartarse, of course, but these engagingly witty songs are packed full of enough punchlines and razor-sharp non-sequiturs to have Half Man Half Biscuit quaking in their Dukla Prague away kits. Like the Wirralian wonders, the Eggs are too clever and too damn good to be written off as a comedy act.The music itself is pretty great, in any case. There are splashes of rickety old indie, a dash of US punk rock and even a whiff of cuddlecore bands like Cub, resulting in a sound that's frequently off-kilter yet never unsettling. Holly Ross' wide-eyed delivery helps, of course her insistent yelp on the garage rush of 'Don't Look At Me (I Don't Like It)' is more paint-stripper than polish, and weirdly beguiling with it.The Lovely Eggs cut directly to the same part of your brain that knows that finding a forgotten fiver is better than spending a fortune, that Emo Philips is funnier than Bill Hicks, and that Shonen Knife understand pop music better than Kings Of Leon ever possibly can. They'll make you grin and laugh so hard that you'll spray every mouthful of beer over the back of whoever's unfortunate enough to stand in front of you, before that guy turns round, nods in understanding and cackles right back atcha. Not convinced? Hey, every story's gotta start somewhere." The Fly

The Lovely Eggs Biography
For The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. It’s about art. It’s about creativity and expression. It’s about following your own path and doing things your own way.
Holly and David operate on their terms, spewing out music, records, art and television shows before piling in the van and tearing round the country to perform a load of live sold out shows.
Their wild and wilful independence sets themselves apart from other bands and despite having no management, booking agent, record label or publisher their recent album “I am Moron” shot to Number One in the Official UK Independent Charts and they continue to sell out shows across the country.
“I am Moron” bears the fruit of their second collaboration with Grammy award winning producer Dave Fridmann, their first being “This is Eggland” which was released in February 2018 to critical acclaim.
In 2021, they collaborated with Godfather of Punk Iggy Pop on their single “I, Moron” and swiped the number one slot in both the Official U.K. Physical and Vinyl charts. Iggy Pop is a fan of the band and dedicated one of his BBC 6 Music shows to The Lovely Eggs’ work.
In 2023, Holly and David released their own TV show: EGGS TV, embarking on a televisual odyssey through alternative art, music, spoken word and underground culture. Teaming up with artist Casey Raymond, the 6 part YouTube series sucks you spiralling down the plughole into The Lovely Eggs’ distinctly off the wall universe, featuring guests Ian Mackaye, Gruff Rhys, Stewart Lee, John Grant, Cate le Bon, Maxine Peake, John Cooper Clarke, Space Lady, Pigs X 7, White Hills, Chris Packham and loads more.
With releases across the world, The Lovely Eggs have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA and Europe. They have produced six albums and recorded more than ten live sessions for BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio One.
With observational and often surreal lyrics, The Lovely Eggs have a powerful raw sound that creates the sonic illusion of a band twice their size. They have become known for their ferocious yet joyous live performances.
The band have just finished mixing a new album with Dave Fridmann and release their first single from it “My Mood Wave” in Feb , 2024. They look forward to a string of live UK shows in May 2024 to coincide with the album release.
Operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find, The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands around. Welcome to their world. Welcome to Eggland.
