Nope, I've never seen Selfish Cunt - I'm not sure whether they've even played in America? Well, I suppose they probably did the customary stops in New York in L.A. at some point, but I became aware of them (him?) after people more or less decided they were crap. I haven't spotted any Selfish Cunt in the gig listings.

Pretty incredible to hear you were at the pictured gig! Coverage of Selfish Cunt is quite scant, but I've heard vague tales of 'abusing' the audience - does that simply they play bad music, or is the abuse more... abusive?

oh sorry, i didn't mean to say i'd been at that particular gig in the pictures but they've played rhythm factory many times and i saw them there a few times, always as part of events featuring three or four other bands - i lived in london for five years until december last year (and am probably returning later this year to live again) in the area called bethnal green which is very close to whitechapel where this venue (rhythm factory) is, so i've been to several gigs there (including razorlight, libertines, bayshambles, bloc party and other much less known bands). actually, i never thought selfish cunt were that outrageous really, though tomlinson has been known to jump into the audience and perform half the gig from among the crowd rather than from stage, which can be quite exciting. the most 'outrageous' i've seen him was one night, at the rhythm factory, where several bands were playing and selfish cunt cancelled their part of the event but tomlinson turned up anyway and, while another group called the soho dolls were playing a very intoxicated guy went on to the stage and took his clothes off and pretended to masturbate and then tomlinson went over to him and literally masturbated him for a couple of seconds - everyone got quite a laugh out of that :)

Well holy fuck, I wish I had been there! Hot!

I confess I really don't know much about Martin Tomlinson, but I envisage him as a future Tony Wilson type, promoting other, more talented people and making consistently outrageous claims about their brilliance. :D
