Friday January 12 at the ICA

[The Priscillas]

Part of the Hallowe'en short film festival at the ooh la la ICA. Yeah, we know we said we weren't doing any more shows. We lied. Eat it! Support includes BOLT ACTION FIVE, who are four humans and one drum machine who are fantastic at both rocking out and dancing; social zeitgeist? Maybe. Excuse to party? Heck, yeah! Club Motherf*cker residents DAUGHTERS OF THE KAOS hit the decks with their mix of electro punk anthems. www.shortfilms.org.uk/

Mixed your got up dates...the sequel.

So, when is the ICA gig? Friday the 12th, as stated here, or the 13th as on the myspace gig list, or the 14th, as stated in the bit you go to after clicking on it. I am pretty sure that this web site is right, and that you only want us lot to turn up, leaving the rabble from myspace to turn up a day or two late! Hopefully they will get the hint! (ha ha only joking(?)).
Many thanks for arranging the Damned gig... a Saturday at last! I shall treat that as my reward for being a nitpicker, and pretend that you done it all for me.
Oh dear oh dear. What have I found now....You've made me come back and add a bit more. In the 'Gigs' section of this site the ICA is listed as Friday the 13th. The blood is running down my forehead, the wall is now red.

*scribbles*

this is me, writing it in the diary. In ink, no less.
And for dikkydiedoe's benefit, I'd like to note that it is the 12th that i'm writing it in at, as that date has been coroborated by the ICA's website (which was nice of them)


And FINALLY I'll be living in London by then so it won't mean a 2 day, money sapping trip which is also nice.

See you then!

[The Priscillas]

Hum, it's the 12th... Sorry, new year, new dates, new confusion...

[skinner]

Hello Priscillas,

Long time listener, first time caller. I'm glad it's not just me who doesn't know what day it is...but know i know it's friday the twelfth i will try and make it.
Hope you had nice fluffy christmasses.x

[The Priscillas]

Yes, we did. Will be a lovely show, we hope. Last night we watched the short films for the prize we are judging and had a great time. The winner was HOTLY contested. Anyway, here are all the final details for you, and, as a bonus, our favourite films...

The Priscillas to play The ICA, London, this Friday 12th January.

OK, so we lied about doing no more shows for a while. But this one we
couldn't resist. It’s all part of the “edgiest film festival in the UK,
with a punk rock mentality”, The Halloween Short Film Festival.

We love films, us*, and we’re thrilled to have been asked to judge the
winner of the Lo-Budget film award, for the short that shows
“inventiveness with little or no budget”. Hmmm. Wonder why they asked us to do
that? We’ll be telling you which film we’ve chosen after we’ve played.
And some of the best films will be shown.

Support includes Bolt Action Five, who are four humans and one drum
machine who are fantastic at both rocking out and dancing; social
zeitgeist? Maybe. Excuse to party? Heck, yeah! And the wonderful Club
Motherfucker residents Daughters Of The Kaos hit the decks with their mix of
electro punk anthems.

Come, watch, burn your retinas, get out of the house… This genuinely is
our last show for a good few months. And it’s all at the terribly
artsy ICA. You might bump into Tom Paulin.

£10/£9 Concessions/£8 ICA Members.

Doors at 8pm, we’re on at 9.15pm

The ICA is at The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH (just down the road from
Buckingham Palace)

To name my 10 favourite films is, for me, unfair to those that I leave out, for if you ask me again next month I would present you with a completely different bunch. So what follows is a list that I will entitle, 'Ten of my favourite films'.
Dr. Zhivago; Papillon; Pandora's Box; The Wanderers; Scum; Quadrophenia; Fist of Fury; Mary Poppins; My Fair Lady; Pirates of the Caribbean;
start of the rest begins with Taxi Driver; all the Rocky films etc......
Hats off to Kate for 'The Fabulous Stains', a film that has long eluded me, which I think was shown somewhere last year, only I didn't find out till afterwards.
Good luck with your 2nd farewell gig, which of course, I can't go to. It's Auntie Jackies' 65th birthday, and she's having a bit of a do. So I will see you girls in early Spring...on the comeback trail. Unless I fall in love, and I'm not allowed to even so much as look at another woman. In which case could you then play some secret gigs, or change your name to The Elvis's ?
Ooo! Look to your left!I've just become a Superhero! How lovely!

[KatePriscilla]

Hoi hoi.

Of course our favourite films change daily, too... This was merely a snapshot. The Priscillas' filmic zeitgeist, captured in electronic form.

The Fabulous Stains is available to buy on your nearest eBay. It's a hokey version, but still worth searching out. Everyone should watch it. It's about three girls who form a band and go on tour with a punk group whose members include Ray Winstone and some Sex Pistols and Clashes. www.imdb.com/title/tt0082639/

PS We like people in love to come to our shows. And those not, too, of course.

Hi ya. Well i might have sadly missed the christmas show but i made up for it at the ICA. Had a great old bounce around at the front. Think the girl next to me might have won the pogo contest though whoever she is. Anyway great to see you live again. Really cracking gig! Big grin factor. Also thanks to Jenny for a chat when i bumped into her before the Christmas Buzzcocks gig in the pub at the Forum. Anyway had to get away quick after the gig as i gotta be at work in the morning. Hope the new album goes well and look forward to the next lot of gigs whenever they may be. cheers ian x
