News and upcoming shows for Chris Cohen and Terry!
Hello there!
I hope you’re
having a good week, we’re still reeling from the Rattle album launch, thank you
very much for helping make that such a success. We have shows for Chris Cohen, Pikelet, Terry, The Rebel and Sarcasm all on the horizon too, so please find info on those early
September events outlined in full below.
Next Monday
you’ll find us at Moth Club for the UK premiere of ‘Half-Cocked’. The film
follows a group of kids who steal a van full of music equipment and pretend to
be a band in order to stay ‘on the road’. Featuring Ian Svenonius (who has also
provided a special video introduction) and members of Slint, Rodan and the
Grifters playing versions of themselves, the film from 1994 (financed by
Matador Records) has never been screened before in the UK. It’s an incredible
window into America’s underground music scene and the best bit is that tickets
are free, you just need to rsvp here, see you there: https://billetto.co.uk/en/events/half-cocked-uk-premiere
This week we also
proudly announced that Sauna Youth
will be performing for us on October 1st at Kamio. Following on from
their US tour, this special homecoming show will also feature David West (of Rat Columns and
Liberation), Score and General Echo Soundsystem (Black Time /
DJs). It’ll be so great to welcome them home and to see them play a blazing set
after many weeks touring. Tickets on sale now!
Due to popular
demand (you asked, we listened) we’ve also re-printed our John Maus t-shirt, which has been out of stock for what seems like
forever. Considered by many in our inbox as a modern classic, the original
black on white design is back in our webstore now, in a variety of sizes: http://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/
Oh yes and it’s
‘LIVE’ as in living, not necessarily just as in playing live! Printed by the
good people at The Positive Press, let’s enact a powerful new being through the
wearing of said garment!

CHRIS COHEN
PIKELET
Monday 5 September
Cafe OTO, 22 Ashwin
Street, Dalston, E8 3DL
8pm | £8 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/361146
CHRIS COHEN is a native of Los Angeles
currently residing in the farmlands of Vermont. He is the child of a former
music business executive and a former Broadway actress. His resume of prior
musical projects is a long one: as a contributing member of The Curtains,
Cryptacize, Deerhoof, and Natural Dreamers, he released 10 full-length albums
between 2002 and 2008. Along the way, Cohen was also a touring player with
White Magic, Cass McCombs, Haunted Graffiti and Danielson, among others, for
stints both short and long. All of this culminated in his first release under
his own name, and his first for Captured Tracks, 'Overgrown Path'. A singing
drummer who writes psychedelic pop music, Cohen also records his own bass,
Casio MT65, piano, and guitar. Tracks like 'Caller No. 99' and 'Monad' follow
idiosyncratic forms, but are still melodic in an unconventional and homegrown
way; like the best of Robert Wyatt, Mayo Thompson, Syd Barrett, and Jerry
Garcia. 'Overgrown Path' unfolded its delicate and unexpected arrangements
around Cohen's relaxed baritone, unhurriedly revealing the detailed world
wrapped up in each song. 'As If Apart', the long-awaited sequel to Chris
Cohen's 2012 soft psych garden of unearthly alter-pop, follows on from its
predecessor with another bittersweet ensemble of dreamy, complex songs. Pushing
the idiosyncrasies of Cohen's melodic and rhythmic approach into even more
fractured, shifting spaces, 'As if Apart' unsettles lazy pop conventions,
upending jaded heads and hearts with an expansive, moody psychedelia.

PIKELET is a Melbourne
exploratory art-synth performer called Evelyn Morris. Evelyn formed Pikelet in
2007 and has released three full-length albums (on Chapter Records), all of
which have received great critical acclaim. Pikelet started out as layered
experimental folk music and has traversed many musical territories over the
years. Currently the sound is based around experimentation with synth, odd
rhythms and found sound, all tied to a core melodic and harmonic focus. Evelyn
has also been involved in many collaborations with artists and groups such as
The Boredoms, for their Boadrum 10/10/10 performance. She's done soundtracks
for short films, art installations and dance performances. As a session
musician Evelyn has accompanied many artists such as Ariel Pink, Grand Salvo,
Laura Jean and Frida Hyvönen. Evelyn describes her new album, Tronc as
featuring “weirder pop than ever before.”

TERRY
THE
REBEL
SARCASM
Monday 12 September
The Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Rd, Dalston, E8 3AS
TERRY is getting ready, combing his hair, buttoning his
jacket, turning the key in the door. "I'm doing fine," sings Terry
out loud, he knows. Divide him into four and you get Al Montfort (UV Race,
Total Control, Dick Diver etc.), Amy Hill (Constant Mongrel, School Of Radiant
Living), Xanthe Waite (Mick Harvey Band) and Zephyr Pavey (Eastlink, Total Control,
Russell Street Bombings). Inevitably, Terry likes to make a noise. Drums,
guitars and all his voices come into play, making a solid raft for Terry's
inner musings to navigate the languid rapids. This all unravels at its own
pace, sometimes drifting into glam pop and country backwaters, always conducting
a conversation with the commonplace. Love is a highway, but you’re not likely
to find Terry there anymore. He’s on the plane. Terry
saw the light, he put on his sunhat and is heading to Europe for the
first time. Debut album, ‘Terry HQ’ was released this summer by Upset The
Rhythm.
THE
REBEL is prolific London outsider Ben Wallers;
a charismatic lone wolf in a cowboy hat or trilby and a tie whose electrified
howls are too idiosyncratic to be broken down into market-oriented terms. It is
difficult to sketch a thumbnail summary of a musician who has amassed a vast
and unwieldy discography under a variety of names and genres: the most widely
acclaimed is probably the Country Teasers, but he also moonlights as, or in,
the Rebel, the Company, the Male Nurse, the Beale, the Stallion, the Black
Poodle and Skills on Ampex, across folk, country, garage, post-punk, no wave
and electronic pop. In the main part The Rebel is centred around twisted Casio
drones, clanging guitar and some defiantly deadpan vocals, all thrown in the
pan and pressure-cooked in Wallers' mind. Wallers has amassed a
near-unquantifiable discography over the past 20 years, from scores of more or
less “official” LPs, EPs and 7”s to seemingly endless self-released cassettes.
SARCASM provide the dystopian post-punk, featuring members
of Efialtis, Semi and Snob. Check out their ‘Total Institution’ tape that just
came out through Far So Far.
Talk again soon! Have a great weekend!

RATTLE album launch tomorrow in London!
Afternoon
everyone!
Our next show
takes place tomorrow at St Pancras Old Church. Marking the release of Rattle’s astonishing debut album, tomorrow
night they will perform a celebratory set with complementary percussive performances
from Charles Hayward and Benjamin Duvall (Ex-Easter Island Head).
Formed
by Katharine Eira Brown and Theresa Wrigley, Rattle began as an experiment in
crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves through
post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms,
phasing patterns and counter melodies, whilst their live show conjures with all
things
hypnotic, monastic and danceable, presenting them anew. Tickets cost £6 and we
will have some available on the door from 7.30pm, with live music kicking off
around 8pm.
Here’s
a video of Rattle playing a brand new song from over the weekend at Supernormal
to whet your appetite.
In
other news Rattle have just announced a series of September dates supporting
Animal Collective on tour. Whilst we’ve added new performances from TERRY, Dan Hayhurst (of Sculpture), Lads,
Sidney, Sook, Catenary Wires and LC Pumpkin to our upcoming shows
program, check that out at the very end of this dispatch.

CHARLES HAYWARD (Performing 30 Minute Snare Roll / The Bell Agency)
EX-EASTER ISLAND
HEAD (SOLO)
Thursday 11 August
St Pancras Old
Church, Pancras Road, King's Cross, NW1 1UL
7.30pm | £6 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/367858
RATTLE are a Nottingham based duo, Rattle
focus almost exclusively on drums and more drums, beneath a delicate overlay of
vocal harmonies and percussive effects. Formed by Katharine Eira Brown (also of
Kogumaza) and Theresa Wrigley (also of Fists), Rattle began as an experiment in
crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves
and intertwines post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter
rhythms, patterns and counter melodies. Often starting by picking out the ghost
notes from the drums to develop a melody, the song then reveals itself in
rounds and harmonies with layer upon layer of rhythm and vocal, lending a
choral feel to some of the tracks. Rattle effortlessly blend the avant-garde
with irresistible melodies and hypnotic drum beats, using rhythm and harmony to
create a refreshing sound that is utterly new - a pretty rare feat these days
when we’re saturated with so much music. Their live performances are at once
hypnotic, monastic and danceable, having entranced audiences at Supersonic
Festival, Dot to Dot, throughout the UK during a recent tour with Witching
Waves and in Europe with Zea (Arnold de Boer from The Ex). Rattle’s debut
self-titled album will be released on Upset The Rhythm and I Own You on August
5th, this show celebrates their London record launch!
https://www.facebook.com/Rattle-196974100379051/
CHARLES HAYWARD is an English drummer and songwriting
singer, known primarily as a founding member of the experimental rock group
This Heat and avant-pop unit Camberwell Now. He also played with Mal Dean's
Amazing Band, Radar Favourites, Dolphin Logic, and gigged and recorded with old
schoolfriend and "Pooh and the Ostrich Feather" member Phil Manzanera
in the group Quiet Sun project as well as a short stint with Gong. He was a
session musician on The Raincoats' second album, Odyshape, and on one occasion
played drums for the anarchist punk band Crass. For this show Charles will be
performing two pieces for percussion including ‘Bell Agency’ and ‘30 Minute
Snare Drum Roll’.
https://www.facebook.com/charleshayward.official/
EX-EASTER ISLAND HEAD will also perform in solo mode with
Benjamin D. Duvall presenting a mesmeric new work for prepared guitars and FM
radios, tuning into the furthermost territories of the groups' unique
vocabulary in pursuit of resonances sympathetic or otherwise. Ex-Easter Island
Head's new LP, ‘Twenty-Two Strings’ is released August 5th by Low Point
records.
