Spoonfed’s Gig Of The Month: Lovvers – Stag’s Head 11th June
It’s been a while since London last saw Lovvers, what with touring and recording in the US-of-A, unless you were at the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s gig last month, you’d have to be living next to their practice space in sunny Nottingham to have seen hide or hair of them for almost 6 months.
What you always get with Lovvers is a pretty kick-arse live show, almost every time we’ve seen them the lead-singer has been dragged around by some ruffian, swerved the advances of some drunken maiden or dived head-first into a crowd of confused looking indie kids, so god knows what will happen this time. They have apparently gone a bit more garage though, which will no doubt cause a few fireworks.
What we do know is that The Stag’s Head is pretty tiny, and with cult local band Male Bonding and much loved prog-rockers Please also playing it’s going to be rammed. Get there early!
