The Lovely Eggs do not give up. Ever. The proudly independent Northern psychedelic punk rock duo have now rescheduled the tour originally intended to promote the April 2020 release of their I Am Moron album a staggering seven times. And again, with the cancellation of “Freedom Day” 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.

“It’s part of the DIY culture. You just don’t give up. So as soon as we found out that re-opening had been pushed back, we set 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!” (singer/guitarist Holly Ross)

These shows will be a long-awaited celebration of the critical and chart-topping success of I Am Moron and also follow on from the band’s forthcoming collaboration with Iggy Pop for the July 9th release of new single, I, Moron, via their own label, Egg Records, that will feature The Lovely Eggs own take on Dum Dum Boys from Iggy’s defining 1977 album, The Idiot. Once again, the single will feature artwork, featuring a three headed Iggy / Eggy beast, by Casey Raymond on one thousand yellow coloured vinyl 7” singles.

“For the B side it made real sense to us to cover one of Iggy’s songs off “The Idiot” “There 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.” (drummer David Blackwell)
