UPSET THE RHYTHM: Moor Mother - Live in London next week!

Hello 2018!

I very much hope you had a great break over Xmas, how quickly the festivities fly by! I’m still taking off my paper crown. Thank you all (so much) for making our seasonal Richard Dawson concert such a success, what a perfect way to finish the year. Moving onto to this year, this month Upset The Rhythm have just the one show booked in. Next Wednesday we’re thrilled to have Moor Mother and No Home both performing at The Islington. All looks set for a stunning evening of purifying noise and extrapolated electronics. Tickets have almost sold out, so please do book in advance to avoid missing out. Read on for all the show detail and more.

This first week back to work we proudly announced two new events in March with superlative, avant-guitarist Bill Orcutt and percussion godhead Chris Corsano. The first show on March 17^th sees them team up in their impressive, quake-worthy duo formation. Whilst March 18^th witnesses both exploring more electronic solo modes. Great news, I’m sure you’ll agree. Tickets links for both have now been added to our live programme that concludes this message. Can’t look more forward to that, I’ve event asked my optician! Those two stellar shows join a cavalcade of other live events we have booked for the first quarter of 2018, including…David Nance, Shopping, Gun Outfit, Chain And The Gang, Shannon Lay, Joshua Abrams, No Age, Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu), Eric Chenaux and Protomartyr. What a list, that’ll keep us busy.

During the festive doldrums we also found some time to record the fourth installment of our new radio show for French arts hub CAMP. If you’d like to listen to 120 minutes of our favourite music from Arthur Lee Harper to Yura Yura Teikoku, including a few live highlights from our recent shows, then consider yourself in luck, here you go.

MOOR MOTHER is the viscerally charged output of Philadelphia based interdisciplinary artist, Camae Ayewa. Her music is often harsh and strange, projecting both the cathartic anger of punk and the expansive improvisatory spirit of Sun Ra. Using a variety of machines, field recordings, and analog noisemakers, Ayewa constructs fractured, cacophonous waves for her words of punishing pertinence to ride. As a musician performing under the name she has toured in Europe and the U.S. at numerous festivals, colleges and universities sharing the stage with King Britt, Islam Chipsy, Claudia Rankine and Bell Hooks. As a soundscape artist she has had work featured at Samek Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art Chicago, and Everson Museum of Art. Her latest album, Fetish Bones, was released through Don Giovanni Records in September 2016. The album features 13 songs conceived and recorded in Camae's home studio and it is an album intended as a form of protest and as form of time travel - a collection of sounds that are events themselves, telling stories rich in history about the journey that brings us to today and the future we are creating. Fetish Bones is not an album meant to help you forget. It is made so that you will remember the injustices that we bear witness to and participate in.

NO HOME is the musical project of Charlie Joseph. Her most recent EP, Self Preservation, was written over the summer of 2017. On the EP, No Home tackles the toxicity of masculine power, realisations through Tinder dates, and how to preserve yourself. The project takes inspiration from Bon Iver, Frank Ocean and Mitski.
