Pseudonymous Gigs

The **Pseudonymous Gigs** were a collection of gigs that Lovejoy performed at select venues around Brighton, England in preparation for touring. All performances were under various pseudonyms instead of the band's actual name.

Each alias used the Twitter account @LampwithSock, (now @Livejoy) and disbanded promptly after their first performance, "having taught Lovejoy all of their songs".
