Then there’s a load of psychedelic footage and random images to blast the mundane out into the universe, because it’s impossible to cope with the bleakness of day-to-day life without having some magic in there. So there are a lot of images in there that invite the viewer to question their opinions on what they value. These are things that some people consider ‘second rate,’ but we don’t. Same with living in Lancaster and not having a label, etc. For some people, the idea of a pot noodle sandwich would be unthinkable, but to David it’s a delicious after-hours snack. ‘Second rate’ means different things to different people. We’ve never moaned about not having access to big budgets, and not doing stuff is just not an option for us, so we always roll up our sleeves, get on with it, and do the best that we can for the budget we have got-which for this was zero! I suppose with the video, we wanted people to question what their idea of ‘second rate’ is. It’s our ethos really, and it is also totally in keeping with the song. “We thought fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves. We must have spent more time on hold on that hotline than any other band on the planet. “For the video, we wanted to present a masterclass in how to not spend £20,000 on making a music video,” they continued. The instrumental middle bit of this song features our version of the hold music from the working tax credit hotline. married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell, had to say about Still Second Rate: “It’s interesting to think about what is really valuable in life and music and what is valuable to us is absolutely worthless to a lot of other people. “They’re angry, they’re funny, and most importantly of all they’re absolutely fucking BANGIN’” – FREQHere’s what The Lovely Eggs, a.k.a. feels like meeting Grace Jones in the most devastating mood whilst on some seriously nasty trip” – Under The Radar “Arch Femmesis have everything it takes to become seriously big. The duo have been gaining rave reviews around the UK for their extrovert performances and DGAF attitude, combining art, fashion and music into an immersive electronic experience. Their blend of brooding, chaotic basslines with intense, psychosensual poetry creates an intoxicating mix that horrifies and hypnotises the audience. Birthed from Nottingham’s underground queer scene, ARCH FEMMESIS are an Electro Punk duo formed by Performance Artist ZERA TØNIN and Androgynous Synthesist MEDDLA. ‘Stu-fu#king-pendous’ – Dr John Cooper ClarkeĪrt Punk Electrolysis from Nottingham. Jet black comedy and break-neck lyrical mayhem from the Prince of profanity Support from Manc poet Thick Richard and electro-punk duo Arch Femmesis. “We set up one What’sApp Group and it was oversubscribed so we had to set up another! Our fans have al- ways been there for us and it’s important at this time that we are there for them.” “We’ve just got to try and get through this together” said Holly from The Lovely Eggs. In the meantime the band have set up an Lovely Eggs WhatsApp Lockdown group for their supporters to offer support and a friendly ear to anyone struggling during the current pandemic. “We’re really looking forward to playing all the new songs off I am Moron. “We just can’t wait to play live again,” said David from the band. The 22 dates (including 4 newly announced cities) have seen many venues on the tour upgraded (after the original shows sold out with months to spare.) It includes the band’s two biggest head- line shows to date: the 1,500 capacity 02 Ritz in Manchester’s Oxford Road and iconic 1,000 capacity Charing Cross club Heaven. We really want a party with our Eggheads and feel that in current circumstances the summer will give us the best chance of doing that.” “But unfortunately we’ve not been able to do that this year and with so much uncertainty about the months ahead it seemed the best decision was to move all our live tour dates to Summer 2021. “The response to “I am Moron” blew us away and we couldn’t wait to get on tour and play the songs live”, said Holly from The Lovely Eggs. The announcement follows the success of their new album “I am Moron” which went straight to number one in the UK Independent Album Charts upon its release in April this year. The Lovely Eggs have announced they will reschedule their UK February tour and have revealed a whole host of new dates for Summer 2021. Tickets are £15 in advance (more on the door) and are available online via See Tickets.
