Following up a killer show at The Actress and Bishop last October, Lancaster’s The Lovely Eggs return to Birmingham this time in the bigger environs of The Hare and Hounds. The Lovely Eggs are one of the most dynamically turbocharged and lyrically clued up duo’s to ever beat a drum and thrash a guitar. The married couple of Holly Ross and David Blackwell have a gloriously askew and uniquely English view of an unsettling world which they make sense of in a raft of songs that drift from peculiarly upbeat swipes at a senseless modernity through to sometimes slightly maudlin rants at the difficulty of love and a charming sideways look at everything between. Beloved of Steve Lamacq and Marc Riley (and us), The Lovely Eggs leave a trail of delightfully cute destruction wherever they go, come and get nicely psyched out.
Wed 30 May 7.30pm at The Hare and Hounds, 106 High St, Birmingham B14 7JZ £11 www.seetickets.com
