The Lovely Eggs: Foul-mouthed fun
Got to love a good merch stand
Great to see a packed gig on a Monday night for the sweary indie pop magic of The Lovely Eggs. The northern pair were hosting "a right party" to celebrate the release of their new single Allergies and a free gig at the redone hipster hangout that is The Old Blue Last was very welcome.
The band constantly play on their Lancastrian routes and, given I've only seen then play in London, it's probably possibly unfair to say they overdo it.
What has seemed footing is the initially sterile London crowds melt in the face of their truncated, sweary punk pop everytime.
The duo are tighter than Jesus' carpenters vice and their "what you would call two songs stuck together and what we would call a medley" about bowling alleys and reporting for The Lancaster Guardian is charming.
A buzzing, lively gig and just what the folded arms of London town this Monday needed to loosen up.
As a treat, here's The Lovely Eggs' most perfect piece of pop...
