That night, life revolved around them nothing else mattered. Holly tells the audience that, ‘life is all about music, and fuckeverything else’. The pair seem to know something the rest of us do not. Listening to them live feels like an homage to lives lived well. It is as if their music is in a language no one learns but everyone knows by heart. Their complete senselessness cuts right to the core of each listener, dressing each person down to their nerves. Songs like ‘Wiggy Giggy’ or ‘I, Moron’ are angry and strange. There were two very different Englands that night. There is nothing quite like a punk band on the first night of the Queen’s Jubilee weekend. This theatrical showmanship – which is also reflected in the youthful spirit of their riotous support act, ARCH FEMMESIS – wins the crowd over faster than a slap to the face. She screams at her audience like a woman scorned. She plays the guitar with it resting on her chin, one leg in the air as if thesong is a tightrope she must risk her life along. She is well-versed and hellbent in her craft. Like a ragdoll with a microphone, Holly turns punk into a fine art. It features a guest appearance by hot shot sitar gnashing. Here is the video for Allergies made fer us by mind frier Casey Raymond. It was filmed on a tramp's mobility scooter in the Lancaster and Morecambe district. If Dalí was a rock star, they’d be his influence. Here is our video to our single 'I Just Want Someone To Fall in Love With' made by Casey Raymond. It’s reflected in their music quirky, morbid, and strangely beautiful. There’s something eccentrically romantic about a love that was confirmed next to a psychiatric unit – where the pair married – and reaffirmed the morning of the gig with a cup of tea in a Premier Inn.
The band is a love story in itself: the pair, Holly and David, celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on stage that night. Their sixth set, I Am Moron, arrived just two years later: co-produced and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, MGMT), the album saw release in April of 2020.The Lovely Eggs’ set is tattered with torn up love songs punk odes to getting drunk and veering off the rails. 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. By the time of 2016's Drug Braggin' 7", most 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.
Holly and David then returned to the U.S.
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 release the band's debut album, If You Were a Fruit, in 2009. Their blend of quirky lyrics and distorted grunge guitar was soon recognized with radio airplay from the likes of Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq before the duo was invited to BBC Radio 6 to record a live session for Marc Riley in 2008. 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, which 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.
