Imagine your lover teases you into a position you never dreamed possible – you discover a passion you never knew you had – you flail and plead – and scream for a god – and surrender and surrender – you are undone. Selfish Cunt in all its innocence knows how to take you there – this is not an idea – this is not an image – this is your undoing.
What do you do when you put THAT before an unadventurous lover – someone who secures power in their routine? What do THEY do when their power is shown to be a pastiche?
So many questions, so many questions, when all that there really is, is desire.
The Royal Festival Hall wakes up to desire…
Selfish Cunt take the stage dwarfed by Motorhead’s Marshall stacks – that probably go up to 11 – and render them irrelevant. A black hole opens – and screams – YOU’VE GOT IT ALL WRONG! Right from the start there’s a misunderstanding about what you’re expecting and what you’re going to get.

***Meltdown warm up gig this Friday May 18 at the Macbeth, Shoreditch***
As soon as you hear the name Selfish Cunt you know that you are in for some serious attitude – ask anyone from their cult following. Uncompromising and politically motivated, it’s no wonder that this year’s curator of the South Bank’s Meltdown festival, the equally uncompromising and politically-aware Jarvis Cocker, has selected SC to open the festival by supporting metal legends Motörhead.
Asked why he thought Jarvis had selected Selfish Cunt to open this year’s Meltdown, lead singer Martin Tomlinson replied, “We played a show together in 2004 when Jarvis was fronting Relaxed Muscle. I think what has happened since then is that he has become more politically charged and disillusioned and I believe the Meltdown allows him to vent this frustration with acts such as Motörhead, The Stooges, Forced Entertainment and ourselves. This is also the Royal Festival Hall, so never mind the bollocks!!!”
