 Upset The Rhythm presents…
ONE LEG ONE EYE DAWN TERRY Friday 13 June Peckham Audio, 133a Rye Lane, London, SE15 4BQ 7.30pm | £15 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/a7e04c64f4b9 ONE LEG ONE EYE is the project of Ian Lynch (founding member of Irish group Lankum) that explores submerged leylines of music and song, drawing on the raw aesthetics of black metal, noise and drone, while also being deeply embued with a sense of Irish history and myth. Debut album …And Take The Black Worm With Me (released on Nyahh Records in 2022) is a slow burning suite of five expansive songscapes that has found its audience largely by word of mouth. Partly recorded in an abandoned Dublin factory where his father worked when he was a child, Lynch’s harrowing vocals are underpinned by vast pillars of uileann pipe drones, overlaid with effects and field recordings to conjure up a sound that is at once dark, mysterious and ultimately transcendental https://nyahhrecords.bandcamp.com/album/and-take-the-black-worm-with-me DAWN TERRY plays slow, melancholic, optimistic music for sad people. Based in Newcastle, she is a veteran drone artist, producing work that is heavy, dreamlike, open and hypnotic. Working for years as one third of drone band Bong, Dawn supplied heavy distorted bass and vocals. Bong are renowned for reaching beyond their metal roots towards a sound that incorporates the psychedelic and cosmic. In her more recent solo work Dawn has turned towards acoustic resonances provided by accordion, hurdy-gurdy, and voice. Both cleaner and denser than ever before, Dawn is now producing large scale minimalist landscapes characterised by an austere openness, barely punctured by hypnotic drumming or slowly intoned vocals. https://dawnterry.bandcamp.com/ |

DAVID GRUBBS SECLUDED BRONTE Monday 23 June St Pancras Old Church, Pancras Road, King's Cross, NW1 1UL 7.30pm | £15 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/jbd4382206b5 DAVID GRUBBS has released sixteen solo albums and appeared on more than 200 releases. In 2000, his The Spectrum Between (Drag City) was named “Album of the Year” in the London Sunday Times. He is known for his cross-disciplinary collaborations with poet Susan Howe and visual artists Anthony McCall, Angela Bulloch, and Josiah McElheny, and his work has been presented at, among other venues, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the Tate Modern, and the Centre Pompidou. Grubbs was a member of the groups Gastr del Sol, Bastro, and Squirrel Bait, and has performed with Tony Conrad, Pauline Oliveros, Luc Ferrari, Will Oldham, Loren Connors, Jan St. Werner, the Red Krayola, and many others. He is a recipient of the Berlin Prize and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts award in Music/Sound, a member of the board of directors of Blank Forms, and director of the Blue Chopsticks record label. Grubbs’ new album ‘Whistle From Above’, his first for Drag City in a decade, was released this February. It is a colorful, compulsive set of instrumental pieces in which David and his chosen collaborators interact amid the steady roll of an expansive landscape based in the hypnosis of David’s immediately recognizable guitar style. https://davidgrubbs.bandcamp.com/music SECLUDED BRONTE are Richard Thomas, Adam Bohman and Jonathan Bohman. The trio formed in London, but launched in New York City in 2002. They released their first album, Secluded In Jersey City, on Pogus. The Anglo-Welsh group combine elements of free improvisation, rock, musique concrete, dub, songs and spoken word. They have been likened to a wide array of artists - This Heat, Wire, The Specials, John Zorn, Jean-Luc Godard, Ennio Morricone, Talk Talk,The Residents, The Fall, John Cage and Sun Ra - but, ultimately, Secluded Bronte are unclassifiable. Since 2020, Secluded Bronte have released six albums on the Ffordd Allan label, an album on Cafe Oto’s Takuroku label, a 7” EP on Felix Kubin’s Apolkalypso label, contributed to several compilation albums and toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK. A new album, Incidental Games, is expected this year. |
