First support band Ill were fantastic. Some brilliant songs. Last tour the Eggs brought the equally superb Mr Ben & The Bens. It's not often that the support acts are so good. Rob Aulton is quirky but very funny. Shame it was virtually the same set as when I saw him in Birmingham, but still very good. The venue is round the back of a pub. There was an excellent atmosphere throughout. The Lovely Eggs are old hands of this and produced yet another fantastic night of top entertainment. Even if Holly forgets her own lyrics!!

The Leicester based pair played their first ever gig in New York City before returning to the UK to tour. The band was immediately supported by airplay on BBC radio stations Radio 1 and 6 Music and were invited by Huw Stephens to play a live session. Their first release was the 2008 EP Have You Ever Heard The Lovely Eggs?

Debut album If You Were Fruit was released through Cherryade Records in 2009. It was promoted by a tour and soon followed by a Twin Peaks inspired Halloween single Haunt Me Out later in the year. The single was declared by XFM as their Single Of The Week.

The 2011 album Cob Dominos contained the singles Don’t Look At Me (I Don’t Like It), which featured John Shuttleworth in the video, and Fuck It. Although the song best exemplified the band’s attitude, they were hampered by the fact that radio stations could not give the song significant airplay due to the expletives.

The band’s third album Wildlife was released in 2012 and featured the single Allergies. Produced by Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, the song was played by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music.

Their 2015 album This Is Our Nowhere was original released as a limited edition vinyl on Record Store Day before its official release nearly two week later.

They have played all over the globe, including USA and Japan, supporting such amazing bands as Shonen Knife, The Slits, The Television Personalities, Art Brut and Half Japanese. They have also played an incredible performance at SXSW in Austin Texas.
