PRESS: R*E*P*E*A*T has published a rather wonderful review of Rock Night Satellite 6 with Miss Pain.
Here is what they say:
Headliners The Black Tulips also have their set cut short, and the injustice of this still rankles. I'd gone down to the gig haunted by the kind of trepidation you get when you adore a band's demo and now you're going to see them live and you really, really want to fall head over heels in love but you're worried you'll be left cold and that would be beyond awful... But I'm now ashamed of my fretful doubtings, because the Tulips were frankly awesome: confrontational, terrifying and therefore absolutely beautiful. Because, you see, rock'n'roll should be uncompromising and unsettling. It should make you sit up and pay attention before allowing you to lose yourself completely in the beauty of it all - and The Black Tulips manage this by combining a feral disdain for crowd pleasing coupled with a theatricality which never forgets that this is, after all, a show. And so they treat us to a wild-eyed, blasted moor-coven meeting of a set, a dark mesmeric cabaret act set to tunes at once primal and counter-intuitive - and it's quite clear that this is something special. When something's new enough to jar against what you've been led to expect from gig-going, you know that someone's hit the jackpot.
Read the full review including Miss Pain bits on the R*E*P*E*A*T website.
