Face Of Cheam

My first ever trip to the Dublin Castle believe it or not. The Lovely Eggs, a husband & wife duo responsible for one of my favourite albums of the year are doing a show and it's only a fiver on the door. I arrive late where a band called Army Navy are supporting. I catch their cover of Right Back Where You Started From and a couple of others which are not too bad, but am surprised by how empty it is. When The Lovely Eggs start their set I count an audience of 21. Holly Ross (ex-Angelica who wooed me at Reading nine years ago) is an impressive frontwoman with her husband on percussian and drums. She is humerous when talking to the audience, asking why you cannot get 3d viewers of Preston instead of 1976 Grand Canyon before the song, 'I Collect Snails', from their debut EP. They also did 'I Want To Fall Off My Bike Today' from the same EP which gives you an idea of just how twee they can be. After several songs about fruit (which David doesn't eat enough of) including the strange 'O Death' from their current album, they end with the instantly catchable 'Have You Ever Heard An Electric Accordian?' where if you have you'll burn in Hell! Although they played most of the album as well as a few others, they were only on stage for 25 minutes which was a little disappointing. Still over a minute each given the crowd size.
