Sauna Youth album launch next week! Primo in London soon!

 
 
 
Hello everyone!
 
Thanks so much for coming out last week to see Shopping shake it all up, our next August events are coming up fast so we thought we’d share all the info with you. Next Saturday we’ll be launching Sauna Youth’s brand new album ‘Deaths’ at Bethnal Green’s Redon railway arch venue. Current Affairs and Pinkgrip will also be lending their skills to make the evening pack that crucial punch.
 
If you like your punk smart like a whip this is the event for you. There are also rumours circulating that the stage will be given a somewhat green-fingered make-over for this special album release party too, get your garden on!
 
Following next weekend’s knees-up, we’re very pleased to welcome Melbourne’s Primo to London for the very first time.
 
This concert will take place at The Islington on Wednesday 29 August and finds Rainham Sheds and Slushy Guts performing too. Last month we released Primo’s astonishing debut album, so we’re super excited to witness them play live their minimalist, chiming songs about the city, mirages, walking, ghosts and the 40-hour walking week!
 
Read on for the full story on both of these truly requisite entertainments.

SAUNA YOUTH – ‘Deaths’ Album Release Party!
CURRENT AFFAIRS

Saturday 25 August
Redon, Railway Arches, 289 Cambridge Heath Rd, London, E2 9HA
7.30pm - 1.30pm | £8 | TICKETS
 
SAUNA YOUTH are a London-based punk band featuring Boon, Mince, Ecke and Pines. They played together in the band Monotony, and between them have played or do play in other bands and music projects including Primitive Parts, Feature, Child’s Pose, Lilac, Cold Pumas, Oblate, Teufelskreis, Mind Jail, Gold Foil, Tense Men as well as being involved with the organisations Good Night Out, The Positive Press, Constant Flux & Heart n Soul. Sauna Youth are releasing their third album this September under the thrilling and fatal moniker ‘Deaths’. This album will once again be released by Upset the Rhythm. The final part in a trilogy of LPs that started with Dreamlands in 2012 (wide-eyed, naive beginnings introducing listeners to the world the records inhabit), followed by Distractions three years ago (what happens while you’re heading towards a destination, the unknowns, the unexpected outcomes), the songs that comprise Deaths are collectively about the act of finishing, an ode to ‘the ending’. The 12 tracks touch on political rhetoric, artistic legacy, action and passivity, work and leisure, and, of course, distraction, referencing many musical genres in the process while never leaving punk’s orbit. This show will act as their album release party!

CURRENT AFFAIRS
are pure new wave excitement from Glasgow. Joan, Josh, Andrew & Seb are a sassy, thumping, ’tune after tune’ post-punk party hit-machine. Their queer, goth punk is laden with addictive bass hooks, frantic guitar screeches, bullet punch drum hits, whirring keyboards and commanding calls. Sharing members with Anxiety, Rose McDowall and Shopping.

PINKGRIP
make loud, pummelsome hardcore punk in London. Their songs are sludgy, pointed and thrash in an oddly addictive way. Check out their demo on Far So Far below!

PRIMO!
RAINHAM SHEDS
SLUSHY GUTS
Wednesday 29 August
The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle St, Angel, London, N1 0XT
7.30pm | £6 | TICKETS
 
PRIMO! are Xanthe Waite, Violetta DelConte Race and Suzanne Walker. As a trio from Melbourne writing up-tempo, terse chorus and verse, Primo make use of two guitars, drums, sound effects and a group vocal sensibility to ornament their enquiries into deconstructed punk and indie rock. Their songs chime and charm, sounding at times bountiful, at others brittle, always buoyant with attention to detail. Primo songs are alive and inquisitive, chasing down questions for answers long sped-away, amidst minimalist shuffle beats and ringing-out chords. The group’s debut album ‘Amici’ is a triumph of the underplayed, its small details pull focus, allowing the album to treat us to unexpected truths in plain sight. Primo's newest member since 2018 is Amy Hill, who also plays in Terry and Constant Mongrel, on bass. Outside of Primo, Xanthe and Violetta both have lent their guitar skills to Terry and The Shifters respectively, whilst Suzanne works in film too. The band’s debut album ‘Amici’ will be released as LP and CD on Upset The Rhythm on July 13th and followed up in August with a European tour.

RAINHAM SHEDS
is Post-punk, all female maximum art-core on a primitive tip. Conceptual skronk noise. They sing about theorists, Art stars, bad jobs, sex with furniture and reminding themselves that he’s not her dad. Their new EP is available on Permanent Slump now!

SLUSHY GUTS started life in late 2009 as the one man project of London artist Steve Keane. Initially a bare bones solo endeavour, over the course of a number of CDR and tape releases the recordings gradually became more textured and layered, necessitating the recruitment of additional players for (sporadic) live appearances, of which by this point there have been a rotating cast of many. The current group is formed of Steve along with good friends Sam and Luke Walsh, Ben Goodwin, The Spirit of James Rowland and the mysterious Paddy O'Furniture, resulting in a more traditional Rock n' Roll set up (see Velvet Underground/Wedding Present/The Fall) without the loss of any of the awkward experimentalism of previous incarnations. Brand new album, ‘The Blasted Stump’ is Slushy Guts fourth album proper and the first on which the production duties have been shared with someone else, (Sam Walsh) resulting in a comparatively polished sounding record, parting the hiss and allowing the songs to shine through.
