UK DATES RESCHEDULED FOR THE 7TH<\/sup> TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW SINGLE \u2018I, MORON\u2019 FEATURING IGGY POP RELEASED JULY 9TH<\/sup> VIA EGG RECORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

NUMBER ONE SELLING NEW ALBUM \u2018I AM MORON\u2019 OUT NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lovely Eggs do not give up. Ever. The proudly independent Northern psychedelic punk rock duo have now, since the beginning of the pandemic, rescheduled the tour originally intended to promote the release in April 2020 of their \u2018I Am Moron\u2019 album, a staggering seven times. And again, with the cancellation of \u2018Freedom Day\u2019 this week, The Lovely Eggs have once again had to reschedule the gigs they had set to start in early July and have successfully pushed the dates back by a couple of weeks to meet the new restrictions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s part of the DIY culture,\u201d explains singer\/guitarist Holly Ross. \u201cYou just don’t give up. So as\u00a0soon as we found out that re-opening had been pushed back, we\u00a0set about heaving all our tour dates back into late July\/August. We didn’t want to wait till next year. And within 24 hours we’d re-booked our UK tour for the seventh time! We are all just ready for the party now. Everyone has been looking forward to these shows for over a year and we can’t wait to bring it to em!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These shows will be a long-awaited celebration of the critical and chart-topping success of \u2018I Am Moron\u2019 and also follow on from the band\u2019s forthcoming collaboration with Iggy Pop for the July 9th<\/sup> release of new single \u2018I, Moron\u2019 via their own label, Egg Records.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing in The Lovely Eggs we\u2019re kind of used to surreal experiences but collaborating with Iggy Pop takes the biscuit,\u201d exclaims Holly. \u201cIt\u2019s actually unbelievable. For him just to say nothing but \u201cmoron\u201d over and over again fitted in with the sentiment of the song perfectly. He just GOT it. We are all morons. In a world of moronic things. In a world of moronic ideas. You are moron. I am Moron. We are Moron.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a further homage to Iggy, the B-side features The Lovely Eggs own take on \u2018Dum Dum Boys\u2019 from Iggy\u2019s defining 1977 album \u2018The Idiot\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor the B side it made real sense to us to cover one of Iggy\u2019s songs off \u201cThe Idiot\u201d, says drummer David Blackwell. \u201cThere seemed to be a real synchronicity to it. I had this album on cassette, and it was one of the first albums that I got really into. Dum Dum Boys struck a chord with us, kind of missing the old days and the old gang we used to hang out with.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once again, the single will feature artwork (featuring a three headed Iggy\/Eggy beast) by the brilliant Casey Raymond on one thousand yellow coloured vinyl 7\u201d singles, recorded by The Lovely Eggs in Lancaster and mixed by Dave Fridmann at Tarbox Road Studios, NYC<\/p>\n
