The Lovely Eggs + Violet Malice + Loose Articles

For The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. It’s about art. It’s about creativity and expression. It’s about following your own path and doing things your own way.

Holly and David operate on their terms, spewing out music, records, art and television shows before piling in the van and tearing around the country to perform a load of live sold-out shows.

Their wild and wilful independence sets themselves apart from other bands and despite having no management, booking agent, record label or publisher their recent album “I am Moron” shot to Number One in the Official UK Independent Charts and they continue to sell out shows across the country.

“I am Moron” bears the fruit of their second collaboration with Grammy award-winning producer Dave Fridmann, their first being “This is Eggland” which was released in February 2018 to critical acclaim.

Their latest single release confusingly entitled “I, Moron” is a collaboration with Godfather of Punk Iggy Pop and swiped the number one slot in both the Official U.K. Physical and Vinyl charts upon release. Iggy Pop is a fan of the band and recently dedicated one of his BBC 6 Music shows to The Lovely Eggs’ work.

In 2023, Holly and David released their own TV show: EGGS TV, embarking on a televisual odyssey through alternative art, music, spoken word and underground culture. Teaming up with artist Casey Raymond, the 6 part YouTube series sucks you spiralling down the plughole into The Lovely Eggs’ distinctly off the wall universe, featuring guests Ian Mackaye, Gruff Rhys, Stewart Lee, John Grant, Cate le Bon, Maxine Peake, John Cooper Clarke, Space Lady, Pigs X 7, White Hills, Chris Packham and loads more.

With releases across the world, The Lovely Eggs have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA and Europe. They have produced six albums and recorded more than ten live sessions for BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio One.

With observational and often surreal lyrics, The Lovely Eggs have a powerful raw sound that creates the sonic illusion of a band twice their size. They have become known for their ferocious yet joyous live performances.

The band are currently working on a new album with Dave Fridmann and look forward to a string of live shows in 2024 to coincide with its release.

Operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find, The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands around. Welcome to their world. Welcome to Eggland. https://thelovelyeggs.bandcamp.com/

+ Violet Malice: Violet Malice is a performance poet (think square peg, round hole). No one has ever been prepared to publish her writing because of its aggressive viscosity on the page. She is regularly found performing live in badly lit condensation-infested bars with no one listening. She writes about life and dirt and stuff like that, really

+ Loose Articles: Specialising in discordant, hypnotic repetition, tales of boozy nights out, and radical politics, Loose Articles are a punk quartet from Manchester with plenty to say. Their music speaks to all those determined to get through the age of austerity with tongue in cheek, pint in hand, and two feet firmly on the dance floor.
