Brother Bemps' new zine is on sale in our shop. Like Zombies In Brighton it is a satirical 'choose your own adventure' style horror story. There's a facebook page for it here. Gratuitous gore! Social Commentary! Non-linear narrative!

We've just discovered a review of our album from a Spanish magazine called Una Buena Barba. Apparently the mag is dedicated to feminism, queer theory and beards. The review says "The Lovely Brothers is formed of a doll, a maiden, a crooner rundown, a Lord of plastic which feeds sucking its own navel and two terrorists transsexual." There's a longer and badly translated quote on our reviews page, but the whole mag can be downloaded here.

Thanks to everyone who came to our Fringe show and made it such jolly good fun. If you didn't make it, the night was reviewed here by Latest 7 mag. Apparently, we're an "unholy collision between The Cramps and Noel Coward."

On Sunday the 15th we're doing a live session for BBC Sussex Radio to promote our gig in the Brighton Fringe. The show's called 'BBC Introducing: The South' and it starts at 7pm. The host is everyone's favourite two-pronged music journo, Simon Price.

Brother Bemps has just posted an animated 'music video' on YouTube for our Kebab song. The animation is pretty cheap and nasty, but that seems somehow apt. Watch it here.

At long last, our new album is ready and willing to be bought! The CD features nine tracks of loveliness and costs £7. Get it here. We've also updated the website with new music, photos, reviews and old posters.

The Lovely Brothers spent a lovely day doing a hit-and-run photoshoot along Brighton seafront. We posed in puddles of piss underneath the pier, got chucked out of an arcade hall by an angry manager bloke ("It's my livelihood!") and ended up staging shots for tourists' holiday snaps. Mr Pump, poor fellow, even got twatted by a child with an inflatable hammer.

We're looking for people to perform at a Shoreham-themed night on Saturday June the 19th. We've got a few things lined up like a pub quiz, a tedious lecture on local history, some special songs and a party-political broadcast from the Shoreham Nationalist Party - but there's still space for anyone who wants to do something. It can be anything you like, as long as there is a tenuous Shoreham link.

Our Brighton Fringe show has been glowingly previewed in Brighton Source magazine. We've also been tipped as ones to watch by Three Weeks. Who can resist the powerful sway of such media frenzy?
4 May 2010
As well as doing two gigs last weekend we also managed to fit in a three-day session in a studio behind Brighton's Fairtrade Gallery. The new album is shaping up nicely, due to the input and patience of Joe 'Analogue' Watson - from Stereolab and Period Recordings. We might even finish it one day.
26 April 2010
We've just uploaded some rough mixes
of new songs. Go here to hear. Be warned,
there's an unhealthy amount of reverb
on some of them (think of it
like those annoying superimposed logos
that stop you nicking professional
photographs from the web).
3 March 2010
Brother Bemps has released a 'choose your own adventure' book about zombies attacking Brighton. This non-linear, gore-fest can be bought at our gigs, our shop and in various places around Brighton. There's also a facebook page here.

Sorry to everyone who tried to come and see us last night. It's hard to say whose fault it was, but the venue was shut. Anyway, why not satisfy your lovely cravings by coming to the Hub on Tuesday instead?

The Lovely Brothers spent last weekend
in Kent recording a new album. This
time it actually involved a studio, rather
than a bedroom, and it sounds great!
We re-recorded a few old songs and put down
five new ones. We haven't mixed it
yet, and it won't be out for ages, but we were all so excited
by it we thought we should tell
you. However, the prospect of another
big box of CDs stacked up in my room
made me realise that we should try to
sell the old one. After discussing various
sales strategies, we decided to SLASH
the price by £2.50. If
you'd like a copy of 'We Are Not Amused'
you can get it for £4 from our shop page.

The Lovely Brothers were interviewed by The Argus the other week. Go here to read an exclusive scoop about Mr Pump's excess fluids.

We were supposed to be playing at the Freedom Fun Festival yesterday, but it was cancelled. If by any chance you were planning to see us, I apologise. We didn't find out ourselves until we all got up to the site - so we went exploring in the woods instead and ended up spending the day in a desolate adventure playground. As for why it didn't happen, I still don't know. The most we could get out of the promoters was something about 'negative vibes'.
29 June 2009
Some more good press! And this time it is actually about us.
Our festival show at the Komedia on May 7 was previewed
in The Argus, and reviewed
by Three Weeks Magazine.
2 June 2009
We've just uploaded a big old bunch of photos from the last couple of
shows. There's also some holiday snaps of our day trip to a kebab shop.
Enjoy your eyes, slavish goblins.
18 May 2009
Well, not quite. But we were mentioned by the BBC in an article
about cider. Admittedly it is quite a boring article (actually, it is little
more than a reprinted press release), and the cider in question is not
exactly cheap. But hey, as Clive used to say, any publicity is good
publicity! We merited a mention for leaving graffiti in a pub toilet in
London. Read it here.
01 May 2009
We got reviewed recently in Brighton mag, Latest 7. In fact, we were review of the week.
Look!
They even gave us five stars, which was nice. One for each of us.
