''We want some fucking men to fight!"

Womb played for 3 hours accompanying mud-wrestling at Kraak Gallery in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. This was a fundraiser for the upcoming Manchester Art Crawl.

Womb members Rosanne, Elv, Fiona, Jen, Lou, Helen, Emily, Whitney, Alison and Lauren got involved in the making of music. Rosanne was the only Womber who had a 'dirt fight' or two on the night. BIG UP!!

Lou and Jen did a talk at Islington Mill (Salford) about their Embryonic Film Project, part of Islington Mill's Say Something Series.

They spoke about their art and how the female body, disgust, fear, ambiguity and the work of  Derek Jarman and Julia Kristeva (Powers of Horror) have influenced their work.

They showed a 3minute film that they created earlier that week and showed pieces of human hair, bones and Indian dyes that have been used in their work.

Lou Woodcock and Jen McDonald's talk about their collaborative film project and Womb (02/06/11).

Womb supported Electrelane at Manchester Academy 3 with Halo Halo also on the bill.

With 14 Womb members on a small stage, the sound engineer nearly had a heart-attack and asked the band to start earlier than planned. Womb started playing at 7:45pm and the audience filtered in during the set. We got some excellent reviews, many including the words 'coming up' and 'tingles down my spine'... Here's Matt Dalby's review: http://santiagosdeadwasp.blogspot.com/2011/07/womb-supporting-electrelane-review.html?spref=fb 

The gig consisted of: Rosanne Robertson, Genette Reynolds, Steph Davis, Jen McDonald, Lou Woodcock, Lauren Velvick, Emily Ward, Debbie Elvis Sharp, Fiona Ledgard, Helen Shanahan, Sian Williams, Alison Cooper, Emma Lomax and Whitney Bluzma.
