   THE BLACK TULIPS: General Info
Member Since7/18/2005
Band Websitehttp://www.theblacktulips.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)

"phenomenal voice... utterly, utterly glorious... 9/10" (Drowned In Sound)

"destined to leave their unique imprint on the world... a band that could literally rip up the rulebook and start again right now" (God Is In The TV)

"pompous, atmospheric, magisterial... like nothing I have ever heard before ... all the hairs on my body stood on end" (Disorder)

"glam-damaged art-rat riot" (Maps)

"BRILLIANT!... sends shivers down the spine... I keep having to get off my arse to press play again" (Glasswerk)

"pointy scratchy uncompromising, glamorous, mysterious and wonderfully different... something rather special" (Organ demo of the week)

"truly innovative" (Sounds XP)

"frankly awesome... absolutely beautiful... 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" (r*e*p*e*a*t)

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?

THIS FRIDAY, DEVIANT GOES TO HELL! This is a night not to be missed!

Dress to impress and join us this Friday the 11th July as Deviant pays homage to the fiery abode of misery and torment. On entry, all those who demand “Open the gates of Hell” will receive a free Satanic Shot to begin their night of debauchery. For those that dare we will have a Satanic face painter to make you look the part and really set the scene.

As the night heats up you’ll be swept into the depths of Hell for a night you won’t soon forget.

We know you naughty beings like your alcohol, so we’ve devised some fiendish drinking games that definitely aren’t for the weak! Don’t let your sinful greed get the better of you though, you have a wickedly long night ahead of you yet.

We have the Hellish delight of entertainment from divine temptress and fire-breathing extraordinaire, Flame, who will indulge your wicked senses with a show of fire and flesh. Let her take you out of this world and into another, sinfully pleasing you with her erotic and fiery performance.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, we’ve also lowered the entry fee! For one night only entry will be just £3 for the entire night! And we’re staying open till the sinfully late hour of 5am, so that you can stumble out of our replication of Hell into the light of dawn. With all of these Devilish delights, we just hope you survive until then...
