Instrumentally sending ears into a trance and sounding similar to The XX. Support comes from WITCH HANDS – a bluesy horror hearted one woman band with a sound that tells us more than what meets the ears.Ĭompleting the bill are CAT FACES, an alternative rock band from Hartlepool streaming out songs which tranquilise and toy with your musical awareness. The band is a way of life for Holly and Ross and they have become well known for their live performances and have played everywhere from Amsterdam squats and Los Angeles scrap yards to steam trains in Ripley and charity shops in Leeds. The two-piece raucous noise pop duo combine their gritty British northern surreal lyrics with thunderous guitars and crashing drums on this their third self-recorded gem.Īlready lead track Allergies, the first single taken from Wildlife, released on the Too Pure Singles Club, has won the BBC 6 Music Rebel Playlist - with 82% of the public vote and declared winner of Steve Lamacq’s 6 Music Round Table as well as Artrocker’s single of the month. This time the Eggs return with an album that encapsulates the isolation of extensive touring and brief time back in their home town Lancaster. The Lovely Eggs return with their third album Wildlife after a year and a half touring their critically acclaimed second album Cob. The duo are currently out on the road promoting their third album, Wildlife, after 18 months touring their second effort, Cob Dominos. The Lancastrian outfit, made up of the married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell, are performing at the intimate Green Room in Stockton’s Green Dragon Yard on Wednesday. Cob Dominos is a truly wonderful and unique album, delivering all of the quirky charm and sonic thrills we've come to expect from a band who have continued to go from strength to strength and cement their reputation as one of the most genuinely exciting and essential bands around today.HUSBAND and wife duo THE LOVELY EGGS bring their underground punk rock to Teesside this week. The Lovely Eggs have become well known for their live performances and have played everywhere from Amsterdam squats and Los Angeles scrap yards to steam trains in Ripley and charity shops in Leeds. Also festival appearances at The Secret Garden Party, Shambala, Solfest & Beatherder. In the last 2 years the band have played hundreds of gigs around the UK, USA & Europe supporting the likes of Shonen Knife, The Slits, The Television Personalities & Eddie Argos as well as a 2 month tour of America. Their debut album If You Were Fruit ranked in the top 40 records of 2009 by Artrocker and was nominated for XFM's 'Debut Album of the Year'. The band have enjoyed press from Artrocker Magazine, The Guardian, Maximum Rock and Roll & Everett True. Last year the pair were invited to perform 5 shows at SXSW in Austin Texas, where they also recorded with legendary cult musician and artist Jad Fair. Occasionally satirical and often surreal The Lovely Eggs won't deliver a straightforward love song to your door, instead you'll be taken on a journey into Holly & David's world where there are no seatbelts! Receiving airplay from Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Marc Riley, Rob Da Bank, Tom Robinson, Gideon Coe & John Kennedy, The Lovely Eggs have recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music & XFM. Inspired by everyday life, coupled with a fierce ethos that music should be about magic and art and feeling and fun, the Lancashire duo have more in common with writer Richard Brautigan & artist David Shrigley than they do with their musical peers. Described as unhinged, strange, bizarre, cuckoo and howling mad but with a growing army of fans including Radio One's Huw Stephens and Art Brut's Eddie Argos you'd be crazy not to fall in love with their underground grunge-pop sound. The second album on the band's own label.
