THE LOVELY EGGS - SINGLE LAUNCH PARTY!!

Event information

Following the brilliant Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) produced single 'Allergies' we're super excited to have The Lovely Eggs come to Oxford to celebrate the launch of their new single. Having received critical acclaim for their latest LP 'Cobs Dominos' and enthusiastic radio-play from radio 1 and radio 6 by the likes of Huw Stephens, Marc Riley & Steve Lamacq, The Lovely Eggs are raw-DIY-pop at its most fun! Expect songs about digital accordions and sausage roll thumbs sounding something like indie-pop heros Belle & Sebastian or Camera Obscura but if they were from Lancaster and were actually a 2 piece riot grrrrl band.


"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

"Singing in a regional accent about obsessive compulsive disorders, digital accordions and dog dirt, Holly Ross makes an unconventional front lady... or at least she would if she hadn't already earned her stripes with Angelica, former Evening Session and Peel favourites. David Blackwell is no stranger to the scene either having been a 'sound carrier' for Damo Suzuki with his band 3D Tanx. So far so interesting, and a study of their latest album Cob Dominos (2011) indicates a veritable smorgasbord of musical and lyrical influences from US alt rock, riot grrrl, anti-folk, twee British pop and Frank Sidebottom (to my mind anyway). With artistic sensibilities, surrealist tendencies and a definite lo-fi/DIY ethos there is something for everyone within the Lovely Eggs oeuvre." The Culture Vulture

"This my friends is fucking brilliant. it's grunge - but not as you know it"- Everett True
