So "on this day" Pulp performed at the UK launch party (same night as the premiere?) of the mighty Pulp Fiction at the Ministry of Sound, in 1994.

I've always been fascinated by this fact as a fan of both Pulps (imagine how I felt when I first read that they'd played at a venue linked to my favourite football team, (also that same month, weirdly enough)?!* 

However, apart from the below links and Nick briefly mentioning it in his book, there doesn't seem to be much press-coverage/photos/a setlist from the evening. The fact that it was at the Ministry Of Sound initially suggested to me that oh, maybe it was just an early Jarvis/Steve DJ set. But no -  the record states that they did a set including a cover of "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon". The fact that they played this song kind of rockets it to the top of my Pulp Holy Grail (maybe Webber left a dictaphone recording on top of Russell's amp and it'll turn-up on a His'nHers' Super Deluxe edition one day...).

But yeah, just thought I'd flag this, as it's a wonderful anomaly.

At uni, I did the cliché thing of hanging a movie poster of Pulp Fiction on my wall (the reverse side against the wall, being the Pulp His'n'Hers album sleeve of course. Sorry! Think it was given away in an old Select magazine.)

To think, just a few years earlier before 1994, Nick was making all of his money by flogging other cult movie posters to students all over the land! (see "So It Started There" - don't think it's much of a spoiler, if you haven't read it yet!).

A Google search doesn't bring-up much even on the London premiere of the movie (some 'sleb pics - including Jonathan Ross in an awful suit) nor Pulp performing, even if it was a separate event - I hope it wasn't like one of their American shows that Nick describes in his book - the band shunted onto a little stage in a corner and becoming background music while posers walked past...

It's only the old reliables Acrylic and Wiki that record this happening (and now 'So It Started There').

I also, by chance, read an interesting article on the making of Pulp Fiction a few weeks ago. It was actually being filmed this time 30 years ago, through autumn 1993.

Pulp and Pulp Fiction - cool, bad-ass-bedfellows. How much more pulp can you squeeze?

*Aston Villa Leisure Centre. How did I feel? Well to continue the film references, I felt a bit like George McFly in Back To The Future when he sets eyes on Lorraine Baines in the diner and blubs that she's his "density...I mean, destiny" (my favourite meme. Try it, you might like it.).
