Their latest single ‘I Moron’, released in July 2021 was up next, Iggy Pop supplied vox inserts on that release. Judging by the crowd and their reactions they have clearly become known for delivering a furious set, and watching the audience it’s clear to anyone that they provide a joyous live set. What we had fired into us was a racked up mix of seriously heavy psych, pop, punk and quirkiness. These guys were generating a powerful raw sound, you have to check to see if indeed there are only two of them. ‘I Wanna’ and with the psych-punk ‘Magic Onion’. With various releases around the world, the duo have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA and Europe. Their DIY ethos and their no nonsense attitude make The Lovely Eggs quite unique. And from time to time they would chat away to us. The guys stopped momentarily to open a beer or a cider before continuing. The crowd lapped it up and it seemed to fuel the band. You can definitely feel it, there is absolutely an energy that you can feel in the room tonight.

The lighting seemed to have been set on the minimalistic side of things and plenty of smoke and haze. The stage seemed big with just the two of them making up The Lovely Eggs, but the sound was massive. If that one didn’t get your pulses racing, well there is no hope! Very short and very sweet. We were treated to ‘Witchcraft’, an absolutely blistering live performance of the song. The two are clearly definitely on form! This was confirmed by the fans’ roar as within a couple of minutes we had ‘This Decision’, also culled from the same platter. The Eggs burst from the side stage with a frenzy from the get go with a melter, ‘Stem Carnation’, which is found on the 2020 ‘I Am Moron’ album. The duo took to the stage (which they filmed, watch it HERE) took a pre gig crowd photo of us punters on her phone. Good to see that with the passing of time, and a Pandemic, they’re selling out the main venues like nobody’s business. I had not actually caught these guys live before when they played Brighton, but have seen them climb venue size on each visit, and tonight it was the turn of Concorde 2 and 600 fans.
