Their don’t give a fuck attitude shines through and you can tell they’re doing it their way, and for the love of the music. Her Northern accent shines through and adds to the anthemic vine of songs like “I Shouldn’t Have Said That”, while “Wiggy Giggy” has a mind bending psychedelic repetitiveness that has been stuck in my head ever since. Singer Holly veers between venomous vitriol and fairy tale sing-songyness in her delivery. It was a great decision! They’re every bit as good live as listening to the record, and they like to have a chat and banter with the audience in between songs too. But with me not yet rejoining the realms of employment and a few more months of listening to the album under our belts, we decided to head along. This time around, last week, was also mid week. Last time they played in Birmingham earlier this year, we didn’t go because it was a mid week gig. With tunes like “Dickhead” and “Would You Fuck!” on their latest album – This is Eggland – they’re probably not the most singalong family friendly band, but they are bloody great! A husband and wife duo, they make a hell of a lot of noise for just two people. Just that I’m not that musically minded and don’t actively choose to listen to stuff. Not in a “he controls what I listen to” kind of way. As with pretty much all of my musical discoveries, I was introduced to them by the husband. Their fifth album was preceded by a pair of singles in "I Shouldn't Have Said That" and "Wiggy Giggy," with the Dave Fridmann-produced full-length, This Is Eggland, arriving in February 2018.I hadn’t even heard of The Lovely Eggs before about March this year. By the time of 2016's Drug Braggin' 7", most the Lovely Eggs' releases arrived via their own imprint, Egg Records. Following a short break, the duo returned in April 2015 with "Magic Onion," the first single from their fourth full-length, This Is Our Nowhere, which arrived that summer. The song was also the opening track on Wildlife, the duo's third album, which appeared at the tail-end of 2012 and was promoted with a U.K. in early 2011 and again led to the Lovely Eggs touring around the country before they linked up with Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys, who produced their single "Allergies," which was released through Too Pure. Their second full-length album, Cob Dominos, was released in the U.K.
Back in the U.K., they toured with Eddie Argos and Dyan Valdés' Everybody Was in the French Resistance.Now! and played at the Indie Tracks Festival. where the record was released through Happy Happy Birthday to Me - to play SXSW. On This is Eggland, the Lovely Eggs sound like they’ve ventured out to the interplanetary. Holly and David then returned to the U.S. Wiggy Giggy does for Lancaster what the Weakerthans ’ One Great City did for Winnipeg. In the same year, the Lovely Eggs released Have You Ever Heard Lovely Eggs, a 7" EP that was available through Cherryade Records, which would also go on to release the band's debut album, If You Were a Fruit, in 2009. BRAND NEW 7' SINGLE 'wiggy giggy' with artwork by Casey Raymond strictly LIMITED EDITION AND MEGA COLLECTIBLE VINYL. Their blend of quirky lyrics and distorted grunge guitar was soon recognized with radio airplay from the likes of Huw Stevens and Steve Lamacq before, in 2008, the duo was invited to BBC Radio 6 to record a live session for Marc Riley. Although based in their hometown of Lancaster, England, the Lovely Eggs played their first show in New York before returning to the U.K., where they pressed a limited run of their first recording, Fried Egg CD. Blackwell, a member of psychedelic drone outfit Three Dimensional Tanx, was the obvious choice for Ross to work with, not only because he shared Ross' taste for slightly warped indie but because the two happened to be married. Following the breakup of all-girl punk band Angelica, who Ross fronted between 19, the singer/guitarist was keen to get back into the swing of writing and recording music. Indie rockers the Lovely Eggs were formed in 2006 by Holly Ross and David Blackwell.
