"Munich Mannequins are like having a string of Diamonds fired at you from an ornate Silver Pistol. They are beautiful, intricately formed, and delicate until they blow your chuffing Face off."

Come and see Munich Mannequins at Notting Hill Arts Club for Alan McGees Death Disco on Wednesday August 27th and let us make the decision for you.
We might be able to make it easier for you to live or die.

The Munich Mannequins
Perfection is terrible, it cannot have children.
Cold as snow breath, it tamps the womb
Where the yew trees blow like hydras,
The tree of life and the tree of life
Unloosing their moons, month after month, to no purpose.
The blood flood is the flood of love,
The absolute sacrifice.
It means: no more idols but me,
Me and you.
So, in their sulfur loveliness, in their smiles
These mannequins lean tonight
In Munich, morgue between Paris and Rome,
Naked and bald in their furs,
Orange lollies on silver sticks,
Intolerable, without mind.
The snow drops its pieces of darkness,
Nobody's about. In the hotels
Hands will be opening doors and setting
Down shoes for a polish of carbon
Into which broad toes will go tomorrow.
O the domesticity of these windows,
The baby lace, the green-leaved confectionery,
The thick Germans slumbering in their bottomless Stolz.
And the black phones on hooks
Glittering
Glittering and digesting
Voicelessness. The snow has no voice.
28 January 1963
Sylvia Plath

59 Original. I think, not really sure. It sounds sweet anyway. We played a gig at Cab Vol last night: I may have been a little too drunk to play. Nevermind.

This is our first 93 Feat East gig and we’re happy to be gracing this illustrious stage so look out for special door price offers today or tomorrow… Or you can buy in advance here: http://www. wegottickets. com/event/32336
Hey! Good to hear from you...were hanging by a tack - shattered - finished the album but sadly lost a drummer...when are you coming up to play? When are you coming up for a drink?
Haha. Thanks for the big-ups on the mic, perhaps you should have been sick on it - it would have stopped Lucky8 playing. I left before they came on due to them already being hammered for their soundcheck, it was obviously going to be a car-crash performance.
Glad we could play with you guys, we enjoyed your set a lot as well.
