Shopping, Es & Katy & Nick play London tomorrow night!

 
 
 
Hello again!
Just a quick reminder that tomorrow we have Shopping, Es and Katy & Nick all playing an outstanding concert at Oslo in Hackney. It’ll be a homecoming, a post-punk odyssey and a right ole party to boot. Tickets are £10 on the door from 6.30pm, with live music gearing up around 7.30pm, all done by 10pm, mark this! It’s time to let your hair up, get snappy and shop til you drop, as Shopping only ever exceed all expectations!
 
Read on for all the details on tomorrow’s event along with listings for our upcoming August outings with Sauna Youth and Primo too.
 
As the rain starts to turn summer into mud at least we can all rely on Terry to still bring the goods. With a new album on Upset The Rhythm slated for the end of the month, we just shared with the world the band’s new traffic-tunnel trip of a video.

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!

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.

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.

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.
