   THE BLACK TULIPS: General Info
Member Since7/18/2005
Band Websitetheblacktulips.com
Band MembersAlexandra
The frontwoman. Vocalist and songwriter.
Eloquent and vulgar, wild and shy; often to be found taking tea.

Lord Fuxley
The changeling. Lead guitarist and songwriter.
Uncompromising in sound and fury; enigmatic orchestrator with myriad aliases.

Barny
The tall stranger. Guitarist.
Beloved by sensitive ladies across the land. And indeed in the wider Empire.

Deadman
The mysterious drummer.

InfluencesEnglishness, music that gets you by both brain and groin, fine words, fine films and finer wines.
Sounds Like"primal-sounding Bowie fuzz-rock" (Diskant);

"pointy scratchy uncompromising, glamorous, mysterious and wonderfully different" (Organ);

"electrifyingly close to the bone" (Damn Pest);

"100% insanely ripped up tunes... this... is absolutely fantastic" (The Mag);

"as irresistible as a musical disease" (God Is In The TV);

"I keep having to get off my arse to press play again" (Glasswerk);

"theirs is a place where Roxy Music are satanists and guitars fire round corners" (Unpeeled);

"Startling raw garage, at face value, but Black Tulips... set their bar a little higher" (Vanity Project);

"Franz Ferdinand murdered, re-animated and instructed to "rock" like they never did" (SoundsXP);

"PJ Harvey beefed up, on a collision with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs" (Metrolite);

"like nothing i've ever heard" (Voices From Downtroddendom);

"Not that they sound anything like any of the aforementioned bands, that's the beauty of it" (Joyzine)

The Black Tulips were formed in early 2005 by Alexandra and Lord Fuxley, naming themselves after Alexandre Dumas' account of the rare and contradictory bloom.

We like: many different things and argue over a good toss frequently. At least one of us, mind, is keen on the following.

long cocktails, short frocks, big brains, high heels, fishnets, fishsticks, dickens, vegetarians, air signs, australia, tea shops, roses, bowie, matinees, fucked up days, ghost trains, coffee, toffee crisps, the smiths, plath, pete and dud, thai, withnail & i, fat chips, painted lips, ripped lips, skinny dips, man ray, peter sellers, diana dors, lauren bacall, sleeping on floors, larkin, mannikins, shenanigans, panda eyes, greasy spoons, eddie izzard, books on offal, birds eye potato waffles, bob marley, virginia woolf, book shop fug, interesting drug, the master, hard days night, gigging, swigging, singing on an empty pier at dawns first fag and so very much more. How about you?

May 10 2007 6:23 AM

Cheers to everyone that came down to BarMonsta to see us play there for the last time. It was a rocking night and a good way to end our residency there.

ROCKWORKZ will be back soon at our new venue, the Purple Turtle, Crowndale Rd, Camden, just next to Mornington Crescent tube station.

We'll be there every Sunday afternoon from July 8th, (time to be confirmed, but probably from 2pm till 6), featuring Men & Gods singer Marc Eden, who Slash called "one of the greatest Rock n' Roll singers I have ever heard", and Henry Rundell from Voodoo Six, who's been described as "the best voice to come out of the British music scene in the last 10 years", plus various members of Voodoo Six, Men & Gods, Crowning Glory, Cavalar, Zodiac Mindwarp and guests...

Playing Classic Rock from Audioslave and Alice in Chains to Zeppelin, via Purple, Sabbath, AC/DC, etc etc...

And it's FREE!

Not just a Rock Covers Band...
