Sauna Youth album launch tonight! Primo play London this wednesday!

 
 
 
Alright!
 
Tonight is the night! We’re launching Sauna Youth’s brand new album ‘Deaths’ this evening at Redon, a new spot in a railway arch near Cambridge Heath station. Sauna Youth will be treating us to plenty of their outstanding new songs and are all geared up for their UK tour with Protomartyr, which begins this Sunday.
 
To push the evening over into total excess we also have Current Affairs (all the way from Glasgow) and Pinkgrip lined up to play! Let’s celebrate the early arrival of SY’s third colossal long-player in style, tickets £8 on the door from 7.30pm, electrified live music cranked from 9pm.
 
Tonight’s party is detailed below along with next Wednesday’s thrilling London debut from Primo at The Islington.
 
Primo are from Melbourne and specialise in thoughtful yet terse, chorus and verse. Amy and Xanthe you know from Terry, Violetta & Suzanne help keep things buoyant so their minimalist, chiming songs about the city, mirages, walking, ghosts and the 40-hour walking week can unfurl. Rainham Sheds and Slushy Guts are performing at this one too, quality all the way!
 
 
 
A cursory glance at our upcoming show programme will alert you to the fact that Upset The Rhythm have a ton of excellent shows on the horizon, September is busy, let’s sleep in October! Shannon And The Clams, Terry, Prolapse, Patsy and Lithics are all coming to your neighbourhood soon!
 
We’ve also just confirmed a special evening in the harmonious fellowship of Tompkins Square Records, with Brigid Mae Power, Duck Baker and Gwenifer Raymond all joining forces on Oct 26th. Tickets for that one and many more all on sale now, links at the end of this message.
 
 
Donning out record label hat for hot second, this week we also shared via The Wire the first labyrinthine track taken from our upcoming debut album by Guttersnipe.
 
‘Loaded From Vector Trap’ by the deliriously inscrutable Leeds duo is featured in the magazine’s Office Ambience playlist, available to stream here now.
 
‘My Mother The Vent’ is due out on 180g black vinyl this October 26th, thank the multiverse!
 
 
One last thing before the dust settles: Primo, Sauna Youth and Terry all have UK tours kicking off right now so we wanted to share the full dates with you, what a lucky island in the Atlantic ocean we live upon!

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