You’ll find our full programme of concerts concluding this missive, now boasting a newly-on sale show for Ian Svenonius’ solo venture Escape-ism

Upset The Rhythm presents…
SHOPPING ES KATY & NICK Saturday 11th August OSLO, 1a Amhurst Road, Hackney, London, E8 1LL 6.30pm - 10pm | £10 | TICKETS
SHOPPING are propulsive bass
lines, primitive disco-not-disco drums and guitar lines sharp as broken
glass. The band was formed in 2012 by members Rachel Aggs (guitar),
Billy Easter (bass) and Andrew Milk (drums), who've all done time in a
plethora of notable UK DIY bands including Trash Kit and Wet Dog. They
pull from a well of 70's post-punk with a voraciousness seldom seen
these days, bringing to mind the jagged aggression of Gang of Four, the
voracious yelp of The Slits and the dance inducing thrust of Delta 5 .
Their debut LP 'Consumer Complaints' was released November 2013 in the
UK via MILK records and quickly sold out its first pressing. A US
re-issue of 'Consumer Complaints' came out in 2015 via Fat Cat records,
followed up by their excellent second album 'Why Choose?' The band are
tirelessly committed to taking their sound to new audiences and
spreading the Shopping gospel, securing impressive gigs along the way
including main support for ESG and Gang Of Four as well as a BBC 6 Music
session for Marc Riley. They have toured in the UK and throughout
Europe numerous times over the last few years and last year toured the
USA with also awesome Gauche. Shopping’s brand new album ‘The Official
Body’ (FatCat) has met with glowing reviews proclaiming it as
exhilarating as it is mesmerising, we can’t agree enough!
https://soundcloud.com/shoppingband ES are four women based between London and Glasgow making 'mutant synth-punk for our dystopian present’ (Jes Skolnik). Tense, bass driven and synth heavy with frantic drumming and cold, direct vocals, their debut 12”, ’Object Relations’, delivers 4 tracks of gelid guitar-less post punk that is equal parts sparse and cosmic. Think of a mix of KUKL with No Defences jamming with X-mal Deutschland and you may be getting there. https://esband.bandcamp.com/releases KATY & NICK is Katy Cotterell of Gloss Rejection & ES and Nick Carlisle of Bamboo. This is their very British haunted take on synth wave. An abrasive synth punk, not the icy distance of some of the finest continental practitioners. This is the ennui of a damp bedsit in a bad Victorian conversion, not the existentialism of a brutalist estate. There’s a little bit of YMO to the hyper-simple melodies that loop throughout their songs too. An appropriate counterpoint are the arpeggiated synth bursts that thread their way through too. https://katyandnick.bandcamp.com/releases |
Have a great weekend, make it count!
