Well… I’ll have to report back to you in July after I’ve seen them! I do love the songs I’ve heard, I’ll say that, so my hopes are high And I would totally disagree with you on the J-Punk/Pop song thing, when it’s good I can listen to it for hours, it’s definitely not all the same. It is difficult for a duo, however, to keep the energy up. I had the same feeling with An Horse the first time I saw them, but they hooked me on the fifth or sixth song. So… we’ll see.

The Lovely Eggs are a bit chaotic live & nowhere near as entertaining as they are on record – but that’s purely a production issue. They’re a duo, afterall, with only 2 sets of hands & one of those is playing drums all the time.

I think, also, we all suffered from venue fatigue: too many gigs in the same place over 3 weeks gets to you afer a while, so our apathy wasn’t 100% their fault – they were energetic & threw everything into their lightning quick set (all their songs were shortened by at least half length, & I’m not sure if this is natural or induced due to a late running order) .

The sound wasn’t fabulous either, & the crowd were there, really, for Shonen Knife who, after 3 songs in to a long set, reminded me why I was never a FAN but an admirer at long distance: once you’ve heard one J-Punk/Pop song, you’ve pretty much heard them all.

Anyway, they set up stall after the gig with a suitcase crammed with handmade goodies (an egg cosie, knitted dolls of the duo, hand sewn fabric badges/pins), 7″s, EPs, & T-Shirts. I bought a T-Shirt (as well as paying for the other half of‘s entry), chatted to them on & off (they’re shy, retiring, twee) & left before midnight.

I was sober, by the way, so that might have affected the mood/reaction somewhat also.
