FUTURE ISLANDS video AND uk tour ! ! !



This video rules! It's for Happiness from the Feathers & Hallways 7" we released earlier this year. Chicago based filmmaker and producer, Joel Fernando made it, here's some of his words about it:

"The video is a psychedelic hodgepodge of fantasy and color, featuring 65 + people from the Baltimore, New York City, Chicago and North Carolina areas, filmed one by one on green screen and combined together to appear as a group in this video".

Green screen, well I never, could've fooled me!! Future islands will be in the UK soon, touring with super chums EAR PWR, check out the dates...

NEWS 3. HANDS ON HEADS


It is no secret that Hands on Heads are comprised of four of the people who work with Upset the Rhythm (myself included). But what may be less well known is that the band will be splitting up at the end of August, as drummer Chukka is moving to Australia for the foreseeable future.

To celebrate the end of an era, we are releasing our new album, which includes tracks from two recording sessions from the last year or so. At the moment you can purchase our handmade CDs from the webshop (http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/shop.shtml) for £6 including postage within the UK, and we hope to release a vinyl edition later in the year.

There will be one or two last chances to catch us play, and we'd love to see some of you there:
22nd August 2009: Cable Street Riot at Jamboree, Limehouse with Pheromoans, Bo Ningen, Please, Wild Palms, Private Trousers and loads more
29th August 2009: Old Blue Last with Nodzzz
