THE LOVELY EGGS, Polite Bureaux, Frank Skinner, and Phil Jupitus. You cannot be serious?

AHEAD of their 20 Anniversary Tour, THE LOVELY EGGS have announced the support acts, with the band true to form taking the unconventional route.

The music arrives via Bradford beat masters POLITE BUREAUX, fresh from the launch of second DIY studio album, ‘Except Your Skint.’ Beat-maker Joseph Smith will be joined on stage by his sister Maya Lili, and Viv Maher.

And joining POLITE BUREAUX on the tour will be a number of the UK’s finest comedic talents including Phill Jupitus (aka Porky The Poet), Zara Gladman, Viz co-founder Simon Donald, Stewart Lee, Frank Skinner, Rob Auton and Eric Rushton. [Full details below].

The Lovely Eggs limited release collection of self-recorded outtakes and rare B-sides from previous album ‘Eggsistentialism’ is set for launch October 17.

“The last 20 years have been a lifelong dedication to music and art,” said vocalist Holly Ross. “It’s never been a job, it’s a lifestyle, a way of life, an ethos and a commitment to creating. We’ve spent most of our lives being in bands and trying to challenge a mainstream conventional lifestyle.”
