YARD PARTY next week!!!

Hello again!

Just a quick heads up about our three day YARD PARTY next week; so much great music at such a brilliant venue, we hope you can join us! Here’s the whole story in widescreen, enjoy the blurbs…

\\\\\\  YARD PARTY  /////

YARD PARTY is a three day music festival presented by Upset The Rhythm, taking place at Hackney Wick's tremendous and intrepid Yard Theatre. Focusing on a wide variety of international underground music from folk to noise by way of damaged romantic pop, Yard Party's intention is to haul the DIY concert out of it's expected parameters and into 'interesting pastures new' to enhance the potency of the music, its effect on the audience and to deconstruct the passive nature of what witnessing live music in 2013 shouldn't be.

YARD PARTY will take place on Thursday 15 August and Friday 16 August from 5pm - midnight, and then on Saturday 17 August from noon - midnight, all-dayer style! and will take place at The Yard Theatre. The full address for the event is The Yard Theatre, Unit 2, Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN

YARD PARTY - DAY 1

-------------------------------

MICHAEL CHAPMAN – Full on legend, inspiration and timeless guitar wizard with songs spanning folk, ragtime, jazz and blues.

http://www.michaelchapman.co.uk/

CUT HANDS – William Bennett of Whitehouse infamy channeling Ghanaian percussion and vast arrays of djembes and doundouns into a powerhouse of maximal dance/noise music.

http://williambennett.blogspot.co.uk/

SPENCER CLARK – Of Skaters, Vodka Soap, Monopoly Child, Pacific City etc. generating time slips and brain distortions with clustering keyboard euphorics, focused drones and elastic loopage.

http://bombsite.com/issues/1000/articles/7066

ROB ST JOHN - Lancastrian Rob St John plays drawn-out and ghostly songs underpinned by the creaks and drones of the harmonium, analogue synth and field recordings.

http://robstjohn.tumblr.com/

FLAMINGODS – Structured ensemble of drums, world percussion and delay drenched chants that court the party-ready hypnotic.

Thursday 15 August

The Yard Theatre, Unit 2, Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN

5pm-midnight | £12.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/festivals/f/6346

YARD PARTY - DAY 2

-------------------------------

U.S. GIRLS & SLIM TWIG – Bewitched classic pop tropes, glooping glam and a shroud of abstraction cloaking two strikingly original voices.

http://yousgirls.blogspot.co.uk/

http://slimtwig.blogspot.co.uk/

SAUNA YOUTH - Four piece punk rock band from London, posing the question “why can't you be the Ramones and Steve Reich?” in much the same way Kurt Cobain once asked “why can't you be Black Sabbath and the Beatles?”

http://saunayouth.bandcamp.com/

SCOTT & CHARLENE'S WEDDING - Songs about heartbreak, working crappy jobs to survive and the loneliness of public transport, linking the swagger of the Velvets to the off kilter pop perfection of the Only Ones.

http://scottandcharleneswedding.bandcamp.com/

FAT WHITE FAMILY BAND – Possess a unique and slightly unnerving ability to work razor sharp Spaghetti Western riffs, hyper punk energy, sprawling Americana and wild blasts of garage rock all into the same enthralling live show.

http://fatwhitefamily.bandcamp.com/

LAS KELLIES – An all-girl trio from Argentina, twisting out a bunch of wonderfully bare-boned post-punk shapes with a viciously infectious clatter.

http://kellies.bandcamp.com/

Friday 16 August

The Yard Theatre, Unit 2, Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN

5pm-midnight | £10.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/festivals/f/6346

YARD PARTY – DAY 3

-------------------------------

MERCHANDISE – Beguilingly wayward rock music from Tampa, Florida, one minute dripping in dynamic weirdo postpunk, the next cascading after dreamy drifter ballads.

http://merchandisetheband.wordpress.com/

MARK MCGUIRE – Cosmic guitarist from Emeralds, dealing in texturally-attuned axe marathons, twinkling loop techno and flickering synth oscillation.

http://mcguiremusic.blogspot.co.uk/

JOE MCKEE - Formerly with Aussie band Snowman, McKee torches his past to delightful, lushly atmospheric effect, breathy echoes and evocative lush arrangements.

http://joemckeemusic.tumblr.com/

EARTH ROD - Trio from Leicester, featuring members of Thee Ludds and Meaty Bone-Bone. Sparring male and female vocals, surfy guitar scree, lots of crash… yes, please!

https://soundcloud.com/earthrodearthrod

SILVER FOX – Newcastle’s dreamiest noise pop quartet with a deliriously swoonsome album on the way for Upset The Rhythm.

http://wearesilverfox.blogspot.co.uk/

EX EASTER ISLAND HEAD – Precise and pulsing rhythmic minimalism from the Liverpool-based ensemble, composing and performing music for solid-body electric guitar, percussion and other instruments.

http://www.exeasterislandhead.com/

TERRORBIRD – Nikki Nevver's voice has grown into a formidable instrument, a towering, unabashed vocal whose resonance curls around her synth and drum machine production.

http://terrorbird.bandcamp.com/

YONG YONG – Duo operating out of Lisbon, making a welcome addition to the hazy tape-music scene with their clunky lo-fi drawl.

https://soundcloud.com/rodolfo-brito

HALO HALO – Primal, hyper-melodic music that makes you want to dance into the mountains and throw a rope around the moon.

https://soundcloud.com/halohalo

SEX HANDS - From Manchester, spinning out vibrant garage pop that blows the roof off with its blend of yelping vocals and washed out, high end guitar scree.

https://soundcloud.com/sexhands

PLEASE – Duelling guitarists and an activated drummer spoiling us all with their ramshackle garage slap and wrong-footed prog rush.

http://pleees.bandcamp.com/

YEAR OF BIRDS - Loud Fall-esque squall from Teesside’s favourite artpunks, two riffs, shorts songs, tonnes of feedback and distorted vocals. 

http://yearofbirds.bandcamp.com/

APOSTILLE – Michael Kasparis’ sublime solo pop project dealing with vocal incantation, the self-realisation of performance an audience engagement.

https://soundcloud.com/apostille

PENGO and BLOOD STEREO and MORE this SUNDAY

Hello there!
Just a general heads up about our psych/noise show planned for this coming Sunday afternoon at the Dalston Victoria. We have PENGO, BLOOD STEREO, USURPER, INFINITE GAAAH and IAN MURPHY / DUNCAN HARRISON all enabling the weirding zone, tickets are a bargainous £6 and will be freely available on the door from 3pm, rumours of a BBQ have been aired loudly too. For full details on Sunday's mind melter read on…


\\\\\\  SUNDAY AFTERNOON  /////

PENGO
BLOOD STEREO
USURPER
INFINITE GAAAH
IAN MURPHY / DUNCAN HARRISON
Sunday 28th July
Dalston Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Road, Dalston, E8 3AS
3pm-8pm | £6.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/216791

PENGO are a three-headed avant/drone/noise/psych hydra spawned in the toxic wasteland of Rochester New York. Considered by many the world’s most psychedelic band, Pengo tap into the long standing outsider/freak vibe that has been a constant in Rochester since the late 60's (See: Armand Schaubroeck, Lydia Lunch, Coffee and Nod.) they have been described as sounding like the following, Sun Ra, AMM, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, NNCK, Les Rallizes Dénudés and even Rema Rema on couch syrup. While Pengo is flattered by these comparisons they feel that they simply sound like Pengo. The one constant in Pengo is change, you will never see two Pengo shows that are the same.
http://blastitude.com/17/PENGO.htm

BLOOD STEREO are the duo of Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance from Brighton. Their music stirs broken loops up with horrified field recordings, always very minimal,  marrying ticker-tape textures and paranoiac low-level circuitry with a gradual unfolding of blunt tape work. There’s a level of restraint here that is fairly high-wire, with long passages of single-texture tension giving way to slow metallic drones and unidentifiable noise before the slowed-down vocals and gloopy FX push it into an almost Oliveros style deep listening environment. Expect the sound of empty circles, the bright concern of the moon, the weight of unnatural colour.
http://bloodstereo.bandcamp.com/

USURPER is the Edinburgh-based avant/improv act whose modus-operandi roughly translates as tiny instruments/huge fists, recording prog-length luddite epics in a large empty room. Broken instrument clunk vs. distant breathless panting. 
http://duffandrobertson.bandcamp.com/

INFINITE GAAAH is the Bolides' bass master and mumblecore strange brain who rambles on and on and tears your pineal gland a new silicon wafer. Scored for sludge…Gaaah by name and nature…not nurture.
https://soundcloud.com/infinite-gaaaaah/infinite-gaaah-elevenfold

IAN MURPHY / DUNCAN HARRISON build an atmosphere  of being lost at sea in dense fog. Mystery sounds float around a miasmic swamp of swirling synthesizers and electronic gadgeting slowly building into a cacophonous crescendos climax. Tape gloop, vocal gurn and spaced hum, never sounding fresher from the sound sack.

YARD PARTY

 

TICKETS

HALO HALO, ADVANCE BASE and ILM

Hello again!
This week we released HALO HALO's brilliant self-titled debut album. Its a kaleidoscopic trip of trailing banjo, bass, drum thump and journey-bound vocals, looped into a ritual dance music, exploding with unbridled feeling! It's available in all good record stores across the globe and from our web shop (http://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/) now too! Check out this video for their song 'Taro Taro Taro' for full immersion or you can see them play tomorrow at our show for ADVANCE BASE.



ADVANCE BASE is Owen Ashworth of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone's new bittersweet project. He'll be performing tomorrow night at The Lexington with Robert Stillman opening the show, live music starting from 8.30pm, tickets available on the door too. Also, if that wasn't already enough opportunity, we'll also be selling Halo Halo's brand new album, along with many other records, shirts, posters at our Upset The Rhythm stall at Spitalfield's Market this Saturday as part of the inspired Independent Label Market, bargains galore, poster ahoy! Read on for all the show details and future listings…

 

































 
\\\\\\  TOMORROW  /////

 















ADVANCE BASE
(previously… CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE)
HALO HALO
ROBERT STILLMAN
Friday 12 July
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB
8pm | £8.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/224950

ADVANCE BASE is the new project by Chicago, Illinois singer songwriter, and producer, Owen Ashworth (formerly Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). 'A Shut-In’s Prayer' is Ashworth’s first full-length release in over three years, and his first under the name Advance Base. Recorded at home and in piano practice rooms at the Chicago Public Library,' A Shut-In’s Prayer' is an intimate collection of deliberately crafter but decidedly lo-fi torch songs, waltzes and ballads. Accompanying himself on his Rhodes 54 electric piano, Ashworth sings nostalgic stories about lost loves, childhood friends, estranged siblings, and hard feelings over simple drum machine rhythms and spare percussion. The additional arrangements that fill out the ten songs intertwine gentle upright piano melodies and expansive electric bass, filling the spaces between plainly-sang harmony vocals and strummed autosharp chords, with the occasional creaking floorboard or snapping reverb spring, to remind you of the cramped rooms where this album was recorded. It is a different sound than one might expect from the guy from Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, but Ashworth’s keen ear for melody and idiosyncratic skill as a lyricist have only improved in recent years, pushing his memorable song-writing in all new directions.  At age 35, Ashworth has a lot of music left in him, and he’s just getting started again. For his first shows in the UK as Advance Base, Owen will be performing solo, accompanying himself of electric piano & sampler.  He will perform songs from 'A Shut-In’s Prayer', 'The World Is In A Bad Fix Everywhere' EP (his tribute to gospel & outsider music pioneer Washington Phillips, out now on Orindal Records), as well previewing brand new songs from a forthcoming album.
http://www.advancebasemusic.com/

HALO HALO are three friends living in South London, writing a primal, hyper-melodic music that makes you want to dance into the mountains and throw a rope around the moon. Rachel Horwood (vocals, banjo, also of the band Trash Kit), Jack Barraclough (vocals, drums) and Gill Partington (bass, modded-keyboard) came together just two years ago inspired by a shared love of the naturalism of folk music and the freedom of punk. Naming their band after a very colourful, refreshing hotchpotch of a dessert from the Philippines (where Rachel’s family are from) the same random delight and faith in surprise is central to their music, shot through in clattering technicolour by traditional forms of Filipino music like Tiboli and the mystical chanting and sacred percussion of the Ifugao. Halo Halo are not only reaching back to their own ancestry, but are tapping into something seemingly outside of time, parts equally magical and sonically enthralling. Halo Halo's amazing debut album will be released by Upset The Rhythm on July 8th!
http://halohalomixmix.blogspot.co.uk/

ROBERT STILLMAN is a composer and multi-instrumentalist. His work lives at the intersections of Song, Sonic Arts, and History. Many of his projects reflect an awareness of process, location, and medium, and they draw upon Popular and Folk forms, most recently, American pre-jazz and rural music. As a performer, Robert tries to adapt his mode of performance to answer questions posed by the music and life. This has led to a solo style of performance in which he accompanies playing the piano with modified marching-band style percussion. Sometimes he also uses tape collage play-back as well. Archaic Future Recordings is Robert Stillman's home, focussing on the physicality of the recording by presenting products that are one-of-a-kind, handmade, and unified in their music and presentation.
http://www.robertstillman.com/



Before I go, I just wanted to point you all in the direction of another brilliant show, this time taking place tonight at The Scala via our friends at Miles Of Smiles. They've organised a super special show for hhheeeeaaavvvvy dark-matter power trio Nazoranai (Keiji Haino / Stephen O'Malley / Oren Ambarchi),  playing in London for the first time with support from the always awesome Flower/Corsano Duo too. Doors 7pm, tickets £15 from here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/210599

See you soon,

THREE SHOWS THIS WEEK!!!

Morning everyone!
Thanks to all of you who came to see Lonnie Holley last week, what an incredible artist! Watching him make his countless junked sculptures throughout the evening was such a treat… and then that voice! Woah! This week sees us shifting up a gear into triple busy, with three shows coming up for you. Tomorrow sees us head to SPACE for an awesome double bill with LUCKY DRAGONS and MARY OCHER; interactive, verging on the magical electronics vs. spectral-n-spirited songcraft, it's going to be terrific! Then on Thursday in honour of the Fourth Of July we're hauling some Americans called SIC ALPS back to old England to play at The Lexington. Joining the sprawling, wild garage knees-up will be Brighton's THEO VERNEY and SHUDDER PULPS too, total fun! Our final show this week will take place at Dalston Victoria on Saturday with a special album launch party for Australian dream-punks SCOTT & CHARLENE'S WEDDING, labelmates FAWN SPOTS and FRAU will be performing too. Looking forward to it! We're also announcing today a show in November for NO JOY too, see below for all you need to know…

LUCKY DRAGONS
MARY OCHER
LONDONEARS DJs
Wednesday 3 July
SPACE, 129-131 Mare Street, Hackney, E8 3RH
8pm | £7.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/217821

LUCKY DRAGONS are a duo from Los Angeles, Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara, who create an ecstatic form of electronic music that celebrates the spirit of life as well as the magic of genre boundaries. Their music is surprising, inventive and uplifting much like their impressive live performances, which usually involve brain-wrangling visual projections and various forms of inspired audience interaction. Lucky Dragons came together in the spring of 2000 in an attempt to create a band that would never break up. The name is borrowed from a Japanese fishing vessel caught in the fallout of a US hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific Ocean that became a focal point for worldwide anti-nuclear sentiment in the 20th century. Lucky Dragons keep a busy schedule of performances having performed previously at the ICA, the 2008 Whitney Biennial, NY’s PS1, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Philadelphia Institute for Contemporary Art, the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle, Los Angeles’ The Smell, NY’s The Kitchen, etc. Lucky Dragons have released an incredible 16 records to date, all available from their website below, including their recent mini-album 'Existers' and Teenage Teardrops 'Shape Tape". This show sees Lucky Dragons in focussed solo mode with Luke Fischbeck steering us on steady course through his ecstatic electronic sea.

MARY OCHER was born on November 10, 1986 in Moscow, Russia. Fate brought her to Tel Aviv at the tender age of 4 and to Berlin at 20. She has been playing with various media, be it words, sound, color or movement since mastering the craft of songwriting at the age of 11. Disillusioned by the mainstream music industry, she set her mind on accomplishing everything DIY. With her first band, Mary and The Baby Cheeses, that notion led to releasing 5 limited edition independent releases. The band  toured all over Europe, in the underground circles, but that wasn't enough for young Ocher, she wanted to see blood! ''War Songs" was the first label release, it came out on the Berlin based label Haute Areal in 2011, then followed a 7'' EP. Both received incredibly wonderful reviews, allowing Mary Ocher to go on tour again and bewilder audiences with her powerful performances and incredible out-of-this-world voice. In 2011, she was discovered by King Khan at a karaoke Bar in Berlin. He immediately invited her to record at his legendary Moon Studios. The album took over a year to finish but it is finally out on Buback earlier this month.

SIC ALPS
THEO VERNEY
SHUDDER PULPS
Thursday 4 July
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB
8pm | £7.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/216195

SIC ALPS are a prolific, largely unclassifiable lysergic rock and roll unit from San Francisco. Their sound is a mix of noise, pop and garage influences with a self-aware sloppiness that’s as charming as it is steeped in the history of the outer fringes of these various genre signposts, recalling the Kinks as much as Thee Oh Sees perhaps. After releasing singles and full lengths on a grand tour of American independent labels (Siltbreeze, Animal Disguise, Woodsist, Slumberland, Important and more) and making a name for themselves as a thrilling live act, the band has settled in at Chicago’s iconic Drag City, who have so far released their daunting double vinyl slab 'Napa Asylum', last year's self-titled album as well as a host of 7”s from the group. These records showcase their musical modes featuring lyrical ruminances on reincarnation, magic and schizophrenia. Tubes are hissing, cheap gear is burning brightly, so many songs reverberating in the tank. The band are currently touring Europe as a frenzied yet solid four piece in support of last month's incredible 'She's On Top' 12" EP, it's a total must hear so try and track down a copy, super peace!
http://www.sicalps.com/

THEO VERNEY is a 22-year-old multi-instrumentalist hailing from Brighton. Verney has been in and out of bands over time, but now he’s making music on his own terms for the first time. Everyone of his songs was written, played, recorded and produced by the man himself. That’s not a surprise considering he’s been playing instruments his entire life, starting with violin at the young age of four. He’s influenced by bands/artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart amongst others, some of which you can hear coming through in this fuzzy and staggered monstrosity titled song 'Dead n Bones'. The track comes along with a grungy, almost bluesy sounding snarl, characterized by crunchy guitar scuzz, some brief, high-voltage soloing and Verney’s nasty scowl. Look out for Verney's EP on Italian Beach Babes out now!
http://theo-verney.bandcamp.com/

SHUDDER PULPS formed from the ashes of the oft missed Epideme - their self destructive streak finally got the better of them 3 years ago. Where Epideme’s compositional ideas frequently outstripped technical ability, Shudder Pulps’ sound offers more breadth and repetition. Their binding factor comes from a mutual love of Television and the Fall but site current bands like Cold Pumas and No Age for inspiration.

\\\\\\  SATURDAY  /////

SCOTT & CHARLENE'S WEDDING
FAWN SPOTS
SOFT ARROWS
Saturday 6 July
Dalston Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Road, Dalston, E8 3AS
8pm | £6.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/217364

SCOTT & CHARLENE'S WEDDING write songs about heartbreak, working crappy jobs to survive and the loneliness of public transport because Craig Dermody knows no other way than heart-on-sleeve. Hailing from Australia but now living in New York, Dermody's debut album under the moniker Scott and Charlene's Wedding is out on Critical Heights now. 'Para Vista Social Club' (named for the Adelaide suburb in which Dermody grew up) is an off-the-cuff collection of real-life woes, each song spilling out like a soused diary entry. The album is sludgy, hypnotic and true, blending the psychedelic swagger of the Velvet Underground by way of Spacemen 3 with the underlying pop sensibility of the Go Betweens. Originally pressed up to just 200 copies with each sleeve painted by Dermody himself, these have now long since sold out, however the album will be reissued to the rest of the world by Critical Heights. The songs on 'Para Vista Social Club' are long, knotty jams, often digging into a single idea and not looking up for the next few minutes with Dermody's voice ranging from a rough moan on 'Born To Lose' and speech-like drawl on 'Every Detail' to a bummed flatness on 'Foreign Lands' and a surprisingly clean presence on the poppy 'Wiseman At The Station'. Scott & Charlene's Wedding effortlessly sprawl across the generations linking the vintage swagger of the Velvets to the off kilter pop perfection of the Only Ones by way of the Stooges and Television, like no-one before them. This show is an album release party for the band's brand new record 'Any Port in A Storm', released by Fire imminently, so be prepared for an overload of awesome!
http://scottandcharleneswedding.bandcamp.com/

FAWN SPOTS are a frenetic UK punk rock trio from York. Devotees of early Joy Divison/Warsaw, Husker Du and Rites of Spring, Fawn Spots are razor edged and lightning fast. Short blasts of hyperactive noise - thrashing guitars and rhythmic beat are kept together by bittersweet melodies. Having recently signed to Critical Heights, Fawn Spots will be releasing a split 7" with Scott & Charlene's Wedding soon.
http://fawnspots.bandcamp.com/

SOFT ARROWS are a two piece hailing from Brighton and leaning towards shoegazed surf with hints of garage punk. Their new song 'Snow Caps' has recently been released by Art Is Hard Records, as part of their postcard club series. 'Snow Caps' is full of winter melancholy that starts in quite a dreamy state before bursts of piercing guitars fill the ending of the track. The constant is the lyric ‘Sit tight with me, as the snow caps melt away’ which becomes embedded within you, lots more at this link...

LONNIE HOLLEY
(Dust To Digital)
Monday 24 June
Dalston Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Road, Dalston, E8 3AS
8pm | £7.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/225650

LONNIE HOLLEY was born on February 10, 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, the seventh of 27 children. From the age of five, Holley worked various jobs: picking up trash at a drive-in movie theatre, washing dishes, and cooking. He lived in a whiskey house, on the state fairgrounds, and in several foster homes. His early life was chaotic and Holley was never afforded the pleasure of a real childhood. Since 1979, Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art and music, born out of struggle, hardship, but perhaps more importantly, out of furious curiosity and biological necessity, has manifested itself in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound. Holley’s sculptures are constructed from found materials in the oldest tradition of African American sculpture. Objects, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, are combined into narrative sculptures that commemorate places, people, and events.

Holley did not start making and performing music in a studio nor does his creative process mirror that of the typical musician. His music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In Holley’s original art environment, he would construct and deconstruct his visual works, re-purposing their elements for new pieces. This often led to the transfer of individual narratives into the new work creating a cumulative composite image that has depth and purpose beyond its original singular meaning. The layers of sound in Holley’s music, likewise, are the result of decades of evolving experimentation. 'Just Before Music' features Holley’s first studio recordings made in 2010 and 2011 and was released last year by Dust To Digital to widespread acclaim.

THE INTELLIGENCE, NO AGE and YARD PARTY!!!

Hello again!
I trust you're having a brilliant week so far. Looks like it might get even better, as tomorrow we've plotted a show for garage rock garglers THE INTELLIGENCE, along with the highly impressive HOUSEWIVES and FRED C DOBBS in support too. Gallons more information on tomorrow's blown out revels follow along with news of next week's one off NO AGE party at Corsica Studios too! Also, today we're announcing new shows for SKY NEEDLE, SLEAFORD MODS, another NO AGE show in October, and news of our August UTR festival YARD PARTY too, which sees the likes of MICHAEL CHAPMAN, HALO HALO, CUT HANDS, U.S. GIRLS, SAUNA YOUTH, MERCHANDISE, SILVER FOX, MARK MCGUIRE, PLEASE, YEAR OF BIRDS and many, many other brilliant bands team up for three days of underground excess at The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick. Check out our listings coda for the full scoop, enjoy…

THE INTELLIGENCE
HOUSEWIVES
FRED C DOBBS
Thursday 13 June
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB
8pm | £8.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/222180

THE INTELLIGENCE write soundscapes set in a grainy, ash-gray world, among piles of scrap metal and busted machinery, with discarded computer parts blinking in cobwebbed corners and factories belching out toxins at irregular intervals. They play songs for the black and white wasteland of humanity, a post-apocalyptic industrial revolution, warmed only by the distant loops of a delayed, disembodied guitar riff. At the center of it all would be Lars Finberg, delivering deadpan lines like "Going out with you is like going out with a cop." He'd be pounding bent garbage-can lids with one hand and programming distorted beats on his keyboard with the other, a one-man laboratory of intoxicating post-punk experimentation. The music is so jagged and cinematically poetic and dusted in clouds of lo-fi noise that listening to it at different times can conjure completely different visions. It's par for the course for Finberg, who has participated in some of Seattle's most exciting musical forces such as the A-Frames and The Dipers. Brand new album, 'Everybody's Got It Easy But Me' was released last year by long-term label In The Red, and it's our favourite one yet, full of pop hooks, metronomically repetitive guitar riffs, new wavey synth moves and guest appearances from members of Thee Oh Sees and Shannon & The Clams, go check it out now if you haven't already!
https://www.facebook.com/theintelligenceband
http://www.myspace.com/theworldisadrag

HOUSEWIVES tangle guitar, drums and layers of vocals to delirious effect, creating vast webs of rhythmic pulse-and-slap. Unfolding like a never-ending map, their songs creep out of chaos into urgent bursts of energy and loud focus, really can't wait to see them play live!
https://soundcloud.com/housewivesband

FRED C DOBBS writes scuzzy, melancholic pop nuggets, recorded with a large dose of murky reverb goodness. He will shortly be releasing his debut EP, 'The Old Days' which includes five self recorded gems. All vocals and instruments, including drums (all two of them) are played by Fred himself. Think the Shangri-Las playing beaten up guitars through bad amps!

NO AGE
TENSE MEN
SIRLOIN (VEG)
Thursday 20 June
Corsica Studios, 4/5 Elephant Road, Elephant & Castle, SE17 1LB
8pm | £10.00 | Tickets only available on the door on the night!

NO AGE are forever cascading forward in a positive direction, gleefully instinctive, erupting out of your speakers, blasting away the clouds above the smoggy cityscape to reveal a solar flaring sun. With an ecstatic force bubbling around and beyond their music, they release contagious energy like they’re main-lining a field full of whirring wind turbines, while tuned into an ancient celestial power source. No Age is the duo of Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, they are on a constant journey to explore the furthest reaches of sound. They set out with one particular rule in mind: To write songs that they would be psyched to listen to. On a first listen, discovering each new dose of their alchemy is exhilarating, they produce perfectly crafted songs, underpinned by infectious melodies and ear-piercing cacophony. This swirling mix of unstoppable momentum is catapulted into the stratosphere by sweeping bursts of symphonic growls. Their power is enunciated through their ability to take their core of catchy song-writing and expand its emotional influence through tone, structure and noise. With their forthcoming album 'An Object', their fourth so far, No Age have forgone the straight and narrow route, landing in a strange and unexpected place, feet planted in fresh, fertile soil. This new LP finds Dean Spunt exploding from behind his kit, landing percussive blows with amplified contact mics, 4-string bass guitars, and prepared speakers, as well as traditional forms of lumber and metal. Meanwhile, Randy Randall corrals his previously lush, spastic, sprawling arrangements into taught, refined, rats’ nests. This special one off show in London sees the duo stopping off to showcase tracks from their new album way ahead of its August release date, seriously too excited! The floor is going to buckle, that's for sure!
http://noagela.org/

TENSE MEN is a new project from Sauna Youth honcho Rich Phoenix on drums and Cold Pumas' Ollie Fisher on guitar. Looped, claustrophobic surges of brittle guitar and shocked drum beats that stack up to create a sound a lot larger than the sum of its parts. Check out their cassette on Cazenove Tapes right now!

SIRLOIN (VEG) is New Zealander, Dave Currie, lining up stammering drum machines, damaged synth noise and spooked slow-motion atmospheres into a deliriously heady cloud of tripped out dance music.

"YARD PARTY is a three day music festival presented by Upset The Rhythm, taking place at Hackney Wick's tremendous and intrepid Yard Theatre. Focussing on a wide variety of international underground music from folk to noise by way of damaged romantic pop, Yard Party's intention is to haul the DIY concert out of it's expected parameters and into 'interesting pastures new' to enhance the potency of the music, its effect on the audience and to deconstruct the passive nature of what witnessing live music in 2013 shouldn't be. YARD PARTY will take place on Thursday 15 August and Friday 16 August from 5pm - midnight, and then on Saturday 17 August from noon - midnight, all-dayer style! and will take place at The Yard Theatre. The full address for the event is The Yard Theatre, Unit 2, Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN"

CHRIS COHEN AND MARNIE STERN next week! and LONNIE HOLLEY announced for LONDON

Too soon for June?
So here we are on the last day of Spring, thanking you for supporting us through our crazy busy May and especially to everyone for coming to see MOUNT EERIE last week. Four way vocals are definitely the way to go! We've got two suitably, splendid shows lined up for next week. Monday at Dalston Victoria sees the one and only CHRIS COHEN in town again for the first time since his jaw-dropping performance at our last Xmas party, who doesn't love a singing drummer? Then on Wednesday we're lucky enough to have MARNIE STERN, SKY LARKIN and TRASH KIT all playing for us at The Garage, very, very exciting! In other news, we're announcing today a "short notice" concert for the truly remarkable artist LONNIE HOLLEY, the show takes place in three weeks time on June 24th and full details follow in our listings closer. To get you in the mood for Summer, check out Lonnie's heartbreakingly beautiful track from his recent Dust To Digital album…

CHRIS COHEN
KING ALFRED MAN OF LEISURE
SHOWMAN'S WAGON
Monday 3 June
Dalston Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Road, Dalston, E8 3AS
8pm | £7.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/213093

CHRIS COHEN is a 37-year-old native of Los Angeles currently residing in the farmlands of Vermont. He is the child of a former music business executive and a former Broadway actress. His resumé of prior musical projects is a long one: as a contributing member of The Curtains, Cryptacize, Deerhoof, and Natural Dreamers, he released 10 full-length albums between 2002 and 2008. Along the way, Cohen was also a touring player with White Magic, Cass McCombs, Haunted Graffiti and Danielson, among others, for stints both short and long. All of this has culminated in his first release under his own name, and his first for Captured Tracks, 'Overgrown Path'. A singing drummer who writes psychedelic pop music, Cohen also records his own bass, Casio MT65, piano, and guitar. Tracks like “Caller No. 99″ and “Monad” follow idiosyncratic forms, but are still melodic in an unconventional and homegrown way – like the best of Robert Wyatt, Mayo Thompson, Syd Barrett, and Jerry Garcia. 'Overgrown Path' unfolds its delicate and unexpected arrangements around Cohen’s relaxed baritone, unhurriedly revealing the detailed world wrapped up in each song. Also, be sure to check out Cohen's brilliant recent split 7" with Reveille on Clapping Music too!

KING ALFRED MAN OF LEISURE is Iain Paxon, Jacindy Cartland and Stuart Cartland. King Alfred Man Of Leisure have previously released various memos and hotwires for Brighton labels Sex Is Disgusting, Tuff Enuff and Hark! However, new album 'We Are Submarine' on Savoury Days adopts a more substantial approach to their interpretation of mesmeric, minimal pop (and song length) with insightful results. Although mercifully the realm of the serious artist is one steered well clear of, these latest offerings discuss topics such as men in white vans, the devil and sub-aqua life, make it a total must hear!

SHOWMAN'S WAGON are a band of enthusiasts. In their wagon there hangs a snatcher bag where Johnny whirlwind works off the excess whilst a bi-lingual and ambidextrous troll models follies to better understand this excess. Entering their forgery of sound is not for timorous wussies. One member, a fearless bass-guzzler by anyone's reckoning, recently broke his foot in the attempt. They are going down a rocky road and their minds, now mush, are fizzing from all the bumps (and snare hits (coming fast)). Try and catch them before they unhinge. No recordings/links up yet!



\\\\\\  WEDNESDAY  /////

MARNIE STERN
SKY LARKIN
TRASH KIT
Wednesday 5 June
The Garage, 22 Highbury Corner, Highbury & Islington, N5 1RD
7.30pm | £11.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/211291

MARNIE STERN fully lives up to her reputation as “the lady who shreds,” but for Marnie Stern, shredding is not enough. After putting out three critically-acclaimed albums, Marnie could have gotten away with putting out another album filled with her richly layered sound, singular frenetic finger tapping and quasi-philosophical lyrics. However, as anyone who has given her last few albums a good listen can tell, Marnie is not one to stand still. Instead she attacks her musical evolution with full frontal bravado, reveling in musical risk instead of relaxing in the comforts of the known. For Marnie, musical possibility drives her ambition. Her new album, 'The Chronicles of Marnia', finds Marnie not only working with a new drummer (Oneida’s Kid Millions), but also passionately subtracting from her normally dense song structures to craft a sound that is both familiar and wholly original. Her trademark exuberant guitar work is still present, in fact, absent of a few layers of grit, it’s even more evident. “We stripped away a lot of the layers and a lot of unnecessary interweaving guitar parts. There’s less clutter and more of staying on a part without adding too much instrumentation.” Through the subtractive production process, Marnie’s voice became more prominent, a fact that kind of concerns Marnie, “I get worried that I am coming across as someone who thinks they are a ‘singer,’ as opposed to my usual mishmash of voices that aren’t always in key,” she said about the album’s more pronounced vocals. “I grapple with that attitude because I think it's important as a musician to try and be as proficient as possible, or try to put a lot of work into it. I suppose in my own way, I put a ton of time into singing and trying to find interesting melody ideas, I just never think of myself as having a ‘nice’ voice.” It’s an enervating change for an artist who in the past has always skillfully buried her vocals under the guitar and drum tracks. Even as Marnie evolves from what Pitchfork called her “art-metal math-rock bubblegum pop” genre, fans will still find themselves jumping head first into the album and quickly bonding with the emotionally resonant material, cascading hooks and transcendental guitar riffs. Plus, the album shreds. She is Marnie Stern after all.

SKY LARKIN are two old friends and one newer one. London called Katie away for a while and Doug ran away to Scotland but now Yorkshire holds us all. They've appeared with Broken Social Scene, The Gossip, Architecture in Helsinki, Menomena, Land of Talk, The Organ, The Little Ones, The Research, Howling Bells, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Forward Russia, Napoleon IIIRD, Los Campesinos!, Hot Club de Paris, 1990s, The Vibration, Metronomy. They wanna be with you everywhere, Wichita Recordings is their home, check out recent album 'Kaleide', packed to the brim with chiming guitars, rousing chorus rushes and grin inducing sentiment. Sky Larkin will be touring with Marnie Stern on all her UK dates, exciting!

TRASH KIT are a gang of facepainted flag-bearers who have a wild feel for melody and a heartfelt kick inside each song. Mixing chaos, considered songcraft and overlapping harmonies in equal measure, the female trio sound as joyful as they are focussed. Rachel Aggs, Rachel Horwood and Ros Murray formed the band in early 2009, and since then have been lighting up London, energising the UK underground with their raw performances and promise. Trash Kit have a sound of their very own, it's both urbane and primal, drawing on the potential of punk and the naturalism of an internal folk music. Trash Kit have an awesome album and 7” available through UTR now plus a recent split 7” with Woolf on Milk.
