In a further homage to Iggy, the B-side features The Lovely Eggs own take on ‘Dum Dum Boys’ from Iggy’s defining 1977 album ‘The Idiot’. “But this time we roped in the amazing Sean McAnulty whose work we’ve admired for ages. He takes you on a weird journey into the moronic underworld, populated by monsters, robots, us and Iggy Pop. “We’ve made a couple of claymation videos ourselves before,” continues Holly. The video for the ‘I, Moron’ single is suitably deranged, drawing you into The Lovely Eggs claymation world. For him just to say nothing but “moron” over and over again fitted in with the sentiment of the song perfectly. “Being in The Lovely Eggs we’re kind of used to surreal experiences but collaborating with Iggy Pop takes the biscuit,” exclaims Eggs singer/guitarist Holly Ross.

“I like everything I hear by The Lovely Eggs.” “The wonderful, wonderful Lovely Eggs,” said Iggy in that unmistakable drawl. Throughout the pandemic, Iggy has been playing The Lovely Eggs on his 6 Music show which led to the new collaboration, out today, called ‘I, Moron’ via the bands on Egg Records label.

These tour dates have now been rescheduled a staggering seven times independently by the band and are now, thankfully, set to start later this month (full dates below).

They’ve been absolute legends and we can’t believe we’ve put the tour back together so quickly. We’d like to thank all of the promoters we work with for helping us reschedule the dates. We hope everyone can still make all the rescheduled gigs and get ready for one hell of an Eggs party this summer. “In light of the coronavirus it was just impossible for us to go ahead with our April tour. Fortunately for us, we are used to shit hitting the fan, so we’ve rescheduled all the gigs to now take place in July instead. You can view the ‘ Still Second Rate‘ video and The Lovely Eggs tour dates below The Lovely Eggsare set to release their new album “ I Am Moron” on April 3rd via EGG Records, the duo had been due to tour the UK in April to promote the album’s release, obviously, due to current world events the tour now cannot take place, but The Lovely Eggs are not the giving up type, and the band have successfully already rescheduled all of their dates to now take place in July. With this news, The Lovely Eggs are also set to brighten our day with an innovative self-made, gloriously DIY dayglo-psych video for new single ‘ Still Second Rate’ that will be available, as it should be, on limited edition snot green colored vinyl and backed by the non-album track ‘ Jam Wild Jam’. With no booking agent, manager, record label or publisher The Lovely Eggs are truly independent.
