“You won't hear another band like this anywhere between now and the the end of the millenium. The Lovely Eggs are just brilliant!”- Huw Stephens, Radio One

“They have the off the wall look that is perfect pop and the cutting stripped down dynamic of a cool art crew in love with underground rock n roll”- John Robb

“This my friends is fucking brilliant. it’s grunge – but not as you know it”- Everett True

The Lovely Eggs are an underground punk rock duo from northern England.
They have a fierce punk rock ethos that music should have no rules.
For Holly and David being in a band is a way of life. True to this, they live the way they play. Fiercely, constantly in search of the good times.
With observational and often surreal lyrics about life The Lovely Eggs have a powerful stripped down sound: one vintage guitar amp, one Big Muff distortion pedal, a guitar and a drum kit.
With releases in the UK, Europe, USA and Japan, The Lovely Eggs have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA and Europe supporting the likes of Half Japanese, Shonen Knife, The Slits, The Television Personalities and Art Brut as well as a two month tour of America and a string of dates at SXSW in Austin, Texas (where they also recorded with legendary musician Jad Fair).
The Lovely Eggs have recorded sessions for BBC Radio One, BBC 6 Music and XFM as well as being played by UK DJs Huw Stephens, Marc Riley, Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie, Sean Keavney, Bethan Elfyn, Rob Da Bank, Tom Robinson, Gideon Coe, John Kennedy, Chris Hawkins, Jon Hillcock and Tom Ravenscroft.
They have produced two albums.
The first 'If You Were Fruit' (on Cherryade Records) ranked in the top 40 records of the year by Artrocker Magazine and was nominated for XFM's 'Debut Album of the Year'.
The second 'Cob Dominos'(Cherryade Records, 2011) has gained widespread critical acclaim, with 'Don't Look At Me (I Don't Like It)' (featuring a video with guest appearance from John Shuttleworth) fast becoming an internet hit.
In December 2011, The Lovely Eggs released 7" single 'Allergies' on the Too Pure Singles Club Label. It was produced by Gruff Rhys and sold out before release day. The track also won the BBC 6 Music Rebel Playlist - with 82% of the public vote, was declared winner on Steve Lamacq's 6 Music Round Table and was Artrocker's single of the month. The song featured a death-shaped psychedelic spectacular promo vid made by Casey Raymond featuring a guest appearance from Gruff Rhys.
Their latest 7" single 'Food' was released on Cherryade Records in May 2012, with yet another mind bending stomach churning video by Casey Raymond. The track has since been remixed by Cornershop and will be available soon.
The Lovely Eggs have become well known for their live performances and have played everywhere from Amsterdam squats and Los Angeles scrap yards to steam trains in Ripley and charity shops in Leeds.
The Lovely Eggs live in Lancaster, England.
