The Lovely Eggs

Additional information

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 round 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 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 latest being new album “Eggsistentialism” which was released in May 2024 to critical acclaim and bagged a Top 10 spot in the Official UK Physical sales and Independent albums charts.
