For the last 20 years, for The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. It’s about art. It’s about creativity and expression. It’s about following your own path and doing things your own way.
To celebrate two decades of operating on their own terms – spewing out music, records, art and television shows, the cult band will mark their 20th anniversary with a very special show in Nottingham.
“You’ve got to hand it to The Lovely Eggs over 20 years and still making, distributing and promoting their music completely independently. In today’ climate, that’s no mean feat. It’s something to be fucking applauded.”- Rough Trade
Operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find, The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands around. Welcome to their world. Welcome to Eggland.
Polite Bureaux recently released their second DIY studio album, EXCEPT YOUR SKiNT — poems and stories written by their dad about run-ins and daily life in Bradford. Songs trace the ups and downs of everyday life: buying scratchcards to pay for petrol, a cycling proficiency gone wrong, meeting a work coach called Colin, losing teeth, buying a van that crumbles to dust, and even using the dog’s shampoo when the Head & Shoulders ran out.
The project was started by Joseph Smith — a broken beat-maker and sharp-tongued lyricist — joined on stage by his sister Maya Lili and rave enthusiast Viv Maher. Together they deliver an intoxicating mix of spoken word, electronic beats, and punk energy.
Eric Rushton is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor. Eric was the recipient of the first ever Channel 4 Sean Lock Award in 2023 and won Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year in 2020. This year, Eric went on a sold-out tour with his show, Real One, after a critically-acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024. He took his latest solo hour, Innkeeper, to the Fringe this August, with multiple sold out shows and excellent reviews across the board.
Support comes from Polite Bureaux + Eric Rushton.
