Can we say Cunt? Yes, we can, because this is teh internets. Anyway, Selfish Cunt are booked to play the festival, and we can't wait!

Selfish Cunt are based in London. They were formed in early 2003 by main members Martin Tomlinson and Patrick Constable. They are notorious for their highly provocative lyrics, aggressive stage shows, and brutal electronic-influenced rock. Their mix of electric guitar and electronic drum machines is accompanied by highly politically-charged and often sexually graphic lyrics.

Due to their highly provocative image, as well as their name, Selfish Cunt have a mixed reputation amongst critics, and have had a great deal of media coverage, particularly in "The Guardian", which named them as one of the 40 most important bands in the UK. They have now expanded to a four piece band with drums and bass and their new sound is much heavier.

Time Out magazine has described them as "one of Londons most exciting live acts", and Tomlinson as "the closest thing to Iggy Pop this generation will produce"

"Dividing the nervous few who have heard or seen them, art/punk duo Selfish Cunt aren't simply an in-joke too far perpetrated by the denizens of London's trendy Hoxton - more a malignancy at the heart of the fashionable life. Singer Martin Tomlinson and guitarist Patrick Constable create unruly anti-songs, angry unravellings of beatbox stuffer, garage noise and invective. Tomlinson is Suicide's Frankie Teardrop recast as a violent gay dandy, and genuinely menacing debut double A-side single Britain is Shit /Fuck the Poor is the most brutal state-of-the-national address since the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen."   -The Guardian
