Selfish C*nt in NYC - Tonight @ Ruff Club w/ Tommie Sunshine
Mike Nouveau of Ruff Club brings me this late-breaking news. UK punk band Selfish C*nt is playing Ruff Club @ The Annex in NYC TONIGHT (Feb 2, 2007). From the band's Wikipedia:
They are notorious for their highly provocative lyrics, aggressive stage shows, and brutal electronic-influenced rock. Their mix of electric guitar and electronic drum machines is accompanied by highly politically-charged and often sexually graphic lyrics. Due to their highly provocative image, as well as their name, Selfish C*nt have a mixed reputation amongst critics, and have had a great deal of media coverage, in spite of their low record sales and small fanbase, particularly in The Guardian, which named them as one of the 40 most important bands in the UK.Tommie Sunshine is also DJing. For more DJ events in NYC this weekend, check out David Bruno's week in dance.
UPDATE: The band is playing Misshapes Saturday night too. (thx Jackson)

Predictable. Might be a fun show, but the music is nothing special.

They did play Sin-e a few years back. It wasn't so good/bad.
I know that they've made a big deal out of hating NYC - the 'I X NY' thing, so maybe we should go down and return the sentiment.
