 Upset The Rhythm presents...
PROLAPSE YEAH YEAH NOH Saturday 29 October OSLO, 1a Amhurst Road, Hackney Central, E8 1LL 7.30pm | £12 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/Zaa6a254b9b3 PROLAPSE originally formed in
Leicester in the early 1990s and earned a cult following for their
chaotic live sets, and tense and repetitious songs like Flex and Tina
This Is Matthew Stone. They feature duelling vocalists Mick Derrick and
Linda Steelyard, who play out an intense soap opera over a ferocious
triple guitar assault and pummelling rhythm section. Their releases have
included numerous singles and four albums on various labels, including
Cherry Red and Radar, as well as recording four Peel sessions. The band
has received critical acclaim, including singles of the week on the
Radio 1 evening session and NME. They have also toured and shared bills
with a diverse array of bands, including Stereolab, Sebadoh, Arab Strap
and Sonic Youth. Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus described Prolapse as the
best band of the weekend at Reading Festival.
After a long hiatus, the band reformed in 2015 and occasionally play live dates. This short UK tour offers a rare chance to experience the Prolapse live show. Two of the band’s Peel sessions have recently been released on the Precious Recordings of London label and Pointless Walks to Dismal Places is re-issued as a double gatefold LP on Optic Nerve Records in July. https://prolapse2.bandcamp.com/ YEAH YEAH NOH are an unpop group of some repute, long trading quietly in a melange of noise and ideas that defies categorisation. It’s DIY pop. It’s post-punk. It’s ‘calor gas psychedelia’. Feel the effect as their guitar pedals and secondhand synthesizer play unexpected melodies in your mind. As they relay their stories of consequence and coincidence and mid-air women. John Peel favourites and veterans of three classic BBC sessions back in the day, Yeah Yeah Noh are now championed by Radio 6 Music where Marc Riley and Gideon Coe have twice let them loose in the studio. https://yeahyeahnoh.bandcamp.com/ |
 Upset The Rhythm presents… MARY LATTIMORE LAILA SAKINI Monday 31 October 229, 229 Great Portland St, London, W1W 5PN, UK 7pm | £12 (16+ show) | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/d570d6dcc32e MARY LATTIMORE is a harpist and composer living in Los Angeles. She experiments with her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand harp and effects. Her solo debut, The Withdrawing Room, was released in 2013 on Desire Path Recordings. Lattimore also writes harp parts for songs and recordings, performing and recording with such great artists as Meg Baird, Thurston Moore, Sharon Van Etten, Jarvis Cocker, Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Ed Askew and Fursaxa. Her debut solo record for Ghostly International, 'At The Dam', was recorded during stops along a road trip across America and released in March 2016. The next year, she compiled sounds from her past life in Philadelphia for a cassette tape titled 'Collected Pieces'. Released in May 2018 to acclaim from the likes of NPR, Pitchfork, and The New Yorker Lattimore's next album 'Hundreds of Days' presented an expression of mystified gratitude for the natural world. She capped off the banner year — which included international tours with Iceage and Kurt Vile, a performance with Harold Budd at Big Ears Festival, and an appearance on Billboard’s New Age charts — with two collaborative albums released on Three Lobed Recordings, one with Meg Baird and the other with Mac McCaughan. Lattimore's most recent album 'Silver Ladders' (out 2020 on Ghostly), saw her arriving at her most confident work to date, expanding her style of instrumental storytelling with the help of producer and guitarist Neil Halstead (Slowdive, Mojave 3). Recorded in Halstead’s studio near an old English surftown, the songs on 'Silver Ladders' reflect Lattimore’s vivid memories against the gloom and glimmer of the ocean. https://marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/ LAILA SAKINI works with piano, voice, guitar, found sound, electronics and silence to create dynamic and textured environments that provide the listener with space to develop their own meanings and responses. Her major works include Like A Gun (EP), Vivienne (LP), Strada (EP), Into The Traffic, Under The Moonlight (LP), Princess Diana of Wales (LP) and her 2017 collaboration with poet Lucy Van, Figures (EP). Laila has performed at Cafe Oto, Galeria Zé dos Bois, Berlin Atonal, Listen! festival, The White Hotel, Meakusma x Arkaoda, Kings Place, Wunkderkammer Festival, Ponto d’Orvalho among others. https://lailasakini.bandcamp.com/ |

Richard Dawson - 'The Hermit' film screening premiere In person Q&A w/ Richard Dawson and director James Hankins hosted by Adam Buxton Jennifer Lucy Allan (DJ set) Record signing Saturday 12 November Rio Cinema, 107 Kingsland High St, London, E8 2PB 4pm-6pm (please arrive promptly at 4pm) | £14 | Tickets: https://riocinema.org.uk/RioCinema.dll/WhatsOn?Film=14925370 To celebrate the release of his new solo album 'The Ruby Cord' via Weird World on Nov 18, Richard Dawson presents a feature-length film for the album's 40-minute opening track, a sprawling mood piece entitled 'The Hermit' that tells the story of a loner living in a bucolic dreamworld. Directed by Bristol filmmaker James Hankins and shot across South-West England in summer 2022, the short film will be shown at several cinemas and art spaces across the UK in the week leading up to the album release, with Q & A sessions after each screening. This event offers the first opportunity to hear music from 'The Ruby Cord'. 'The Ruby Cord' is the final part of a trilogy that started with the pre-medieval world of 'Peasant', was brought back to the present day with '2020' and - possibly - concludes in the future with Dawson’s seventh studio album. After recent collaborations with Finnish metal innovators Circle and his work with Hen Ogledd, this is a return to Dawson’s own world with seven tracks that plunge us into an unreal, fantastical and at times sinister future where social mores have mutated, ethical and physical boundaries have evaporated… a place where you no longer need to engage with anyone but yourself and your own imagination. This special event will feature the premiere screening of the 40 minute film that accompanies 'The Hermit' followed by an in-person Q&A with Richard Dawson and director James Hankins hosted by the brilliant Adam Buxton. |

LANDE HEKT JADE HAIRPINS Monday 14 November The Shacklewell Arms, 71 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, London, E8 2EB 7.30pm | £8.50 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/z293f7e05023 LANDE HEKT’s voice in music is one that’s socially aware yet often introspective, drawing awareness to serious issues but at the same time baring her soul. Much of Hekt’s compositions act as a personal diary of what’s going on in her life at any given time. This is evident in her discography with Muncie Girls, the band which she formed in her hometown of Exeter as a teenager and have released two critically acclaimed albums to date. This knack of combining her own experiences and feelings whilst highlighting larger socio-economic issues has carried through to her more contemplative solo material, which began life in an EP ‘Gigantic Disappointment’, self-released in 2019. Lande Hekt’s debut album Going to Hell was released in 2021 and was placed in Stereogum’s Album of the Week, Bandcamp’s Album of the Day, and one of AV Club’s ‘17 albums we can’t wait to hear’. The album is a personal and confessional account of Hekt coming out as gay and DIY Magazine called it “A celebration of personal freedom”. Going to Hell came out on queer and trans run DIY label, Get Better Records and gained Lande Hekt a following for her introspective and journal-style lyrics, political themes and catchy, guitar-driven indie rock. New 7” single ‘Romantic’ - a song about struggling to fit in, feeling down and finding comfort in romance - is out now on Emotional Response. https://landehekt.bandcamp.com/ JADE HAIRPINS is the pop-indie project of Mike Haliechuk and Jonah Falco of Fucked Up. Their debut LP “Harmony Avenue” (Merge Records) is a whirlwind touch of fizzing synths, Talking Heads-esque guitar interplay set to long melodic vocals and dancey drums. The band live has the added strengths of Tamsin (Es) and Jack Goldstein bringing the songs to life. https://jadehairpins.bandcamp.com/ |
