“The Fallen Women are a Fall that never were, comprised of veteran superstarlets of the indie scene, adept at recreating every era of the band’s catalogue in a way that the band proper were never required to, be it gruelling dirges, garage punk bangers, or fizzy Falltronica. It’s a shame Mark E Smith never lived to front The Fallen Women, a surely their turn to till the Fall sod would one day inevitably have come. Instead, as this strange performance art project surges ever forward, it is you who gets to front The Fall from another dimension. I’ve done it at half a dozen gigs, and it’s like riding a rocket. And it’s true what they say. You never forget your first time.” – Stewart Lee
