Their blend of quirky lyrics and distorted grunge guitar was soon recognized with radio airplay from the likes of Huw Stevens and Steve Lamacq before, in 2008, the duo was invited to BBC Radio 6 to record a live session for Marc Riley. Although based in their hometown of Lancaster, England, the Lovely Eggs played their first show in New York before returning to the U.K., where they pressed a limited run of their first recording, Fried Egg CD. Blackwell, a member of psychedelic drone outfit Three Dimensional Tanx, was the obvious choice for Ross to work with, not only because he shared Ross' taste for slightly warped indie but because the two happened to be married. Following the breakup of all-girl punk band Angelica, who Ross fronted between 19, the singer/guitarist was keen to get back into the swing of writing and recording music. Indie rockers the Lovely Eggs were formed in 2006 by Holly Ross and David Blackwell.
