About The Lovely Eggs
The Lovely Eggs are a two-piece lo-fi psychedelic punk rock band from Lancaster, England. They consist of married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell. Ross was formerly the lead singer and guitarist in the all-female band Angelica.
The band formed in 2005, playing their first ever gig in New York City and then returning to the UK to play nationwide shows. They gained recognition from radio coverage on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6, from DJs such as Marc Riley, Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq.
In May 2008, they were invited into the BBC Radio 6 studio to do a live session for Marc Riley's Brain Surgery show. In August of the same year, they were again invited back to the BBC to do a session for Huw Stephens, this time for BBC Radio 1. In October 2008, their first EP entitled Have You Ever Heard The Lovely Eggs? was released through Cherryade Records , which was well received with positive reviews and more airplay. In the same month, the lead track from their Have You Ever Heard The Lovely Eggs? EP , was named XFM 'Single of The Week'.
They released their debut album, If You Were Fruit, in June 2009 on Cherryade in the UK, and in August on HHBTM Records in the US, and promoted both with a tour of the UK and US, sleeping either on or under a beach towel in the houses of strangers for 21 days straight. The next release was a Twin Peaks inspired, limited edition Halloween CD released in October 2009. Following this, the band collaborated on a limited edition cassette release, with an all-female band from Manchester, Hotpants Romance, with songs that were won in a raffle by audience members whilst the two bands toured together in June 2009. The tape named Songs about People We met on Tour was released in February 2010.
The Lovely Eggs were invited to perform at SXSW in March 2010, where they recorded a live video collaboration with musician and artist Jad Fair from the band Half Japanese.
In January 2011, they released the first single from their new album “Cob Dominos” called "Don't Look at Me ", whose video featured a guest appearance from "John Shuttleworth" as the man with the sausage roll thumb which gained wide popularity on Youtube. Cob Dominos was released on 14 February 2011with singles “Fuck It” and “Panic Plants” released thereafter.
