Morning all!
Today we’re so
excited to have Deerhoof finally make their return visit to Upset The Rhythm
for Oval Space’s sold out show. It’s taken 11 years since our very first show with
the band and several hundred shows have fallen in between but that only makes
it the more tantalising. We were lucky enough to host them last weekend at a
show we put on in Belgium and they were nothing short of très fantastique! As
mentioned, tonight is sold out, but we will have them come back over in August
so don’t fret if you missed out on tickets. Here are the times for this
evening’s performances too (come early!), doors from 7pm…
DEERHOOF - 9.30pm
TRASH KIT - 8.30pm
COWTOWN - 7.45pm
In other news we’re
ecstatic to announce this week that we’ll be working with SAUNA YOUTH on their colossal new album entitled ‘Distractions’,
out June 8th! The Quietus are
presently hosting new track ‘Transmitters’
from the album too if you’d like to listen right away!
Our webshop (http://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/) is open for pre-orders now, alongside
another addition in the shape of a new Upset The Rhythm T-shirt designed by
Arrington De Dionyso, very nice! Talking of Arrington, his best friends from
Olympia, VEXX have also just
confirmed their debut European show with us too, the full listing follows, but conjure
the earliest date in July in your mind and you won’t go wrong either! I’ll
leave you with our write up for our concert next month for MADALYN MERKEY, MEDDICINE
and RATTLE, one for your diaries, to
be sure!

MADALYN MERKEY makes spellbinding
ambient/electro-acoustic music, flooded with exotic alien tones. As a student
of the famous Mills College it’s understandable that her work is rooted in
academic process and research, yet her new album ’Valley Girl’ (released on
‘New Images’) is also inspired by the agriculture and rolling landscapes of
Madalyn’s native California. Using computer generated tones and sequences, she
spreads out a unique topography of phase-modulated triangle waveforms and sine
tones serrated into small atolls or peaks and interspersed with
human traces of her processed, siren-like vocals redolent of some vintage
Hawaiian exotica. The result is a minimal but super rich and vibrant sound
field, one constantly in motion and quivering with lush harmonics that keep the
ear tracing its ambisonic trajectories. In other words, it's hugely recommended
for drifting off, far and away.

MEDDICINE aka Monika Krol is a post-punk synthesist who plays fractured noise pop over a backing track of industrial soundscapes. With jackhammer drum machine patterns nailing down synth blasts that alternate between pulsing, menacing to full-blown white noise, Meddicine is a one-woman sound howl conjuring up Suicide or even TG. Clattering and oscillating her way through old sounds and new, Meddicine produces some of the darkest, most-damaged and affecting analogue electronic music you are likely to hear on this planet or any other.

RATTLE are a drumming duo based in Nottingham and comprised of Theresa J Wrigley and Katharine Eira Brown. Both musicians also play drums for two other well respected bands, with Theresa in Fists and Katy in Kogumaza. Far from the hippy bongo nightmare one might imagine from a band made up of only two drummers, Rattle instead play minimalist rhythms that remain both hypnotic and danceable heavily thanks to the delicate vocal melodies which accompany their beats. Their sound recalls This Heat or ESG whilst remaining uniquely their own.
