>>>NEW WEBSITE. plus! Girl-to-the-power-of-eight-Pop

Look Mum! We've got a new website!

Ain't she pretty? Too many new features to go into here, but the SHOP has some delightful new Pain memorabilia...

A round of applause for Dom Pain who's struggled with his sanity getting it finished - no more dreaming in HTML for him!

[TIP: if you are still getting an UNDER CONSTRUCTION message, try opening the page and hitting CTRL+F5 to refresh yr browser - this works on PCs, and there is probably Mac equivalent, but I ain't got a clue what it is]

To celebrate this worldwideweb mile-stone, them Pains are being let out for a very special night of Girl-to-the-power-of-eight-Pop:

MON 27 MAR - BRIGHTON
The Pipettes + Miss Pain + Teasing Lulu
The Concorde2, Madeira Drive
doors: 8pm
entry: £6.50 (adv)/ £8.50 (on the door) BUY ADVANCE TICKETS

It's an ALL AGES SHOW which means everyone can come. Just so long as
they are accompanied by a responsible adult. (check
the Concorde2 website for a definition of responsible adult)

Yep, it's big stages and dressing rooms for us Pains. Though the
dressing rooms aren't as glamorous as they sound - more like a room
that you wouldn't particularly want to get dressed in.

Miss Pain's girl/boy electro-shock melodrama starts at about 9pm, and
is mouth-wateringly sandwiched betwixt Teasing Lulu's shouty girl
punk-pop and The Pipettes' sassy polka-dot grrrl group delights.

Here's the full Girl-to-the-power-of-eight-Pop schedule:
Doors: 8pm
Teasing Lulu: 8.20pm
Miss Pain: 9pm
The Pipettes: 9.45pm
Note: There will be a DJ, playing "appropriate" music.


It's Monday night and it will be fun. Yes it will. Yes, we speak the truth.

If you're still reading, then we suggest you got to the website and
enjoy the curios in the noise/action area. That's fun too.

Message Ends.
Love
The
Miss Pain

Pole Dancing...

I sometimes DJ at 'Sirens' @ The Candy Bar, Brighton. It's a lesbian bar with pole dancing...Interesting idea...Anyway, my favourite thing is when the dancers don't bring their own music....Oh dear, i have to choose the music...Last time I got the ladies pole dancing to The Fat Truckers and Kraftwerk...Ace! They seemed to like it...Brilliant! Next time it will be Miss Pain...xx

>>>Motormark! Pain! Party! Brighton this Sunday

Dear Pain-fans,
But THIS IS IMPORTANT.

DO NOT GO TO POLAR CENTRAL ON FRIDAY 10TH MARCH.
THE GIG HAS BEEN MOVED TO
:

SUNDAY 12 MARCH
Miss Pain is having a Child's Party!
Live entertainments from
Motormark + Miss Pain
THE MARLBOROUGH THEATRE, PRINCES ST, BRIGHTON
LOCATION OF VENUE
doors: 7pm
entry: £5/£3 mit flyer

Here's the flyer, print it now...

It's a kiddies birthday party, so wear yr best party outfits and bring yr sweet tooth.

MOTORMARK (Digital Hardcore Recordings) will be headlining - you'll be dancing and jerking in a buzz-erk frenzy.

Motormark are Jane Motoro (shit hot vox and bass) & Marko PoloRoid
(wired electronix and distorted guitars) from Kirkcaldy in Scotland.

They'll shoot you up with a volley of Uzi-drum machine/synth/guitar hyper-electro-punk-pop.

MISS PAIN play their first hometown show of the year. Expect goody-two-shoes synth-bashing, and squealing manic glee.

It's wham bam electro-glam sugar-rush of synthetic pop that will leave you dizzy in the head and itching for more.

Plus! There'll be party games (pass the parcel, musical statues, pin the plait on Sarah Pain, etc) and sugary sweets and sickly treats galore.

I feel a bit sick now.
love
a Pain

>>>Miss Pain gets Totally Wired>>>

Salutations good readers,
We’d first off like to thank everyone who came to see us play last weekend - Windsor was chock full of strangelings (ever get the feeling you’re at the only nightclub in town?), and Brixton was a blast (all broken strings and flying feathers). Thank you also to Hiem, X-Wife and Large Number for sharing stages, floors, drinks, equipment and laughs with us.

Now some breaking news:
The Brighton Polar Central show on March 10th has had to be moved.
Miss Pain and Motormark will now be playing on
SUNDAY 12th MARCH
at THE MARLBOROUGH THEATRE, PRINCES ST, BRIGHTON
it all kicks off at 7pm, wear your best party clothes.


This weekend sees us Pain’s on the airwaves. Totally Wired presenters, Marcus and Anna, have invited us in to talk about the Electronic Bible 2 compilation, and to play some of our fave tracks off it. We’ll be broadcast across Brighton and all over the WorldWideWeb. And it’ll be LIVE. gulp!

You can listen to Totally Wired in the Brighton area on Juice 107.2 FM, this Sunday from 8pm - 10pm.
Or if you have a speedy connection, you can listen on t’internet at http://www.totallyradio.com/. (and the show will be available for your listening pleasure for a full week afterwards).

Then on Monday the Electronic Bible chapter 2 will be racked up in all good record shops - so go and get your own slice of electronic goodness. As well as Miss Pain’s ‘F* Machines’ (which earned the album a PARENTAL ADVISORY sticker, and was recently described by Plan B as a “Ballard-ian synthscrape... like The Normal-with-a-wide-on”), it features exclusive tracks by the likes of Large Number, Hiem, X-Wife, No Bra, Piney Gir, and Momus.

For those in an agoraphobic state of mind, the album is also available to download on iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ or you can order the CD from http://www.whitelabelonline.com/.

Finally, the new website should almost definitely be online by Monday, if we can manage to resurrect our ancient PowerMac. We need a whole room to house her and a big set of bellows to get her started, but we love our dear old Mac, and we’ve been through a lot together...

thanks for reading,
love the Miss Pain three
