Come and celebrate Dog Chocolate’s debut album coming out, with bands, comedy, food, projections, DJs...
DOG CHOCOLATE
RÓISÍN AND CHIARA

7:30pm – 2am | £2 on the door
DOG CHOCOLATE
sound like a crowded room but are actually four individuals from
London. Having played in many other bands including Yeborobo, Limn and
Gasp! Cracking Eggs, united they recognise Dog Chocolate as their one
true love. Abandoning notions of elegance, cred and professionalism they
embrace the ramshackle, instant and fun, capturing a vivid spontaneity
with their music. ‘Snack Fans’ is the band’s debut album, released on
March 18th by Upset The Rhythm. In just over 25 minutes the band
gleefully assemble a roller-skate of sound held together with sellotape
and blu-tac, just robust enough to reach it’s destination as it’s
chucked downhill. It’s an album packed with ideas and momentum, no need
to set the table, Dog Chocolate are in a rush. If ‘Snack Fans’ doesn't
satisfy your appetite then you’ll need to fix yourself a feast or
something.
RÓISÍN AND CHIARA’s
routine is as funny as it is bizarre. Whether singing a hymn to Nick
Grimshaw, pretending to be breastfeeding babies or giving sage advice as
celtic mystics, Róisín and Chiara are consistently hilarious. They move
with such rampant pace from one segment to another that the audience
cannot help but get caught up in the proceedings: even if you’re not a
fan of absurdist comedy, you'll find it hard not to enjoy their
infectious energy.
PRIVATE TROUSERS
are playing the long game, one step at a time. Variously regarded as a
breath of fresh air and an awful business, PT use self-made instruments
to make lairy lullabies for the happy-sad, yes you.
DJ EGGS LEGS’ tropical omelete includes Highlife, Afro funk, soukous, makossa, samba, mambo, shangaan and many more.

Thank you for reading! Before heading off we also wanted it made

Upset The Rhythm
presents…
EARTHEATER
GABRIEL SALOMAN
COMMON EIDER, KING EIDER
Saturday 25 June
Cafe OTO, 22

EARTHEATER is Alexandra Drewchin, a New York based musician
and artist who seeks on a daily basis to upgrade her mental software. Also
known for her shamanic performances fronting Guardian
Alien, Eartheater is Drewchin’s unshackled solo vessel, a deliberate
distillation of voice, synths, guitar, and electronic production techniques
into short-form compositions teeming with crystalline details. At any given
moment, an Eartheater composition reads somewhere between a folk song, a
musique concrète collage, and a filmic suite fit to soundtrack a cosmic montage
that only she can imagine in full detail. Her intricate ballad arrangements
rise from standing pools of hi-fidelity synthesis, while her dynamic vocal
performances span an untold number of tactics and tonalities. Drewchin builds
layered electronic productions possessed of enough detail to constitute
stand-alone worlds, each weighted thick with text and texture. October
2015 saw the release of her second album in the same year on Hausu
Mountain, ‘RIP Chrysalis’.
GABRIEL SALOMAN is a Vancouver based musician and artist who has been
performing experimental, conceptual and freely improvised music for over 15
years. He is best known for his work as half of Yellow Swans and currently
composes and performs solo as GMS and Sade Sade. His music investigates
temporal abstractions, conceptual sound and gestural noise. There is a parallel
concern with sound art as both liberating practice and praxis. In recent
performances and recordings Saloman’s music has been composed of percussion,
tapes, mixer-feedback, guitar, keyboards, piano and voice. In particular
Saloman has explored the use of found sound, field recordings, percussion and
processed blank cassettes.
COMMON EIDER, KING EIDER has always been an enigmatic
project, marching to the beat of its own tribal drum and operating on the
fringes of an already fringe scene—one that finds comfort in sweeping drones,
stirring neofolk, field recordings, and pastoral near-silence. This endeavor
(the collective effort of Rob Risk, Blaine
Todd, and Andrew Weathers) bends noise and feedback
to his will, smoothing out harsh edges into something soothing, gentle, and
quite lovely; nature infuses every note and every pause, and that the
project's latest album, ‘Unhuulda’, has a heavy environmental focus and
its five movements sound like a dark forest evening is no
coincidence. ‘Unhuulda’ is the latest offering from Common Eider King
Eider's own imprint, Caribou People. It comes with a handmade book of poetry,
printed with metallic gold ink on blood red 100% recycled paper.

Dog Chocolate - 'Bent Wire Situation' VIDEO!
Just premiered on the always great Louder Than War! Check it out, it's very special!
Here's some context from Andrew of Dog Chocolate too!
Here's some context from Andrew of Dog Chocolate too!
"The song's about that
moment of coming to, 4 hours after getting in from work and you've
still got your shoes on, you're sitting in the dark, there's no food in
the house, you've got a headache and you're expertly holding the
decrepit power cable to the laptop in just the right position to keep
yourself in that same situation for another 4 hours. It's about
non-specific bad vibes intrinsically linked to the inanimate objects
we've surrounded ourselves with.
The video shows one
character played by 15 people. It's an attempt at a personification of a
true unwordable bent wire situation."

THE INTELLIGENCE and THE PHEROMOANS in London in April!

THE INTELLIGENCE
THE PHEROMOANS
Saturday 9 April
DIY Space For London, 96-101 Ormside St, South Bermondsey, SE15 1TF
7.30pm | £8 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/352663
DIYSFL is a members club, become a member here:
http://diyspaceforlondon.org/
THE INTELLIGENCE was born unto the world at the dawn of the 21st century and since its seen its brand of art-smarm surf become a touchstone for with-it rock n’ roll of the era. Perhaps a surprising assertion, especially considering their primitive and personal origins, but one cemented by the dedication and continual reinvention fostered by main-brain Lars Aldric Finberg. For all their longevity and prolificacy, The Intelligence is a restless, ever-evolving vehicle for Finberg, showcasing his presumably patented knack for sharp pop songwriting that rides waves from both the past and heretofore unknown. Hence the emergence of ‘Vintage Future’, the band’s latest album. Finberg has always playfully flashed fangs with The Intelligence, but the hard targeting here makes ‘Vintage Future’ the most thematically biting offering thus far. Across the record, Finberg combs over relationships, ambitions and his own values for trouble spots and indignities, highlighting his findings and skewering as needed. Jabs at the absurdities of band life have been a focus of since The Intelligence’s inception, but tunes like “Nocturnal Admissions”, “We Refuse To Pay The Dues” and “Platinum Janitor” confront living in rock n’ roll with an honesty bordering on the sadistic. Songs like “Sex” and “Whip My Valet” (the band’s most singularly aggressive and punk moment ever) manage to be intensely personal ruminations, nervously humorous and all-out rockers simultaneously, all with a wink. It’s precisely that charm coupled with intensity that makes The Intelligence so crave-worthy. Well, that and the copious panic-stabs of guitar.

THE PHEROMOANS are a six-piece experimental rock band from the South East of England who deal in a deadpan DIY music. Married to the mundane yet surreal reportage of our lives, their music manages to address the truly restless boredom and absurdity of everyday life. The Pheromoans write songs for the end of the queue, songs that prowl the periphery, songs that stand up on the bus and stare out through the window, blasted through with brilliant sprawling sunshine. Over the last nine years the band have released a slew of records, including numerous EPs, 7"s, mini-albums and LPs through labels as diverse as Night People, Convulsive, Sweet Rot, Monofonus Press, Clan Destine and Upset The Rhythm. These recordings largely focused on a ramshackle, wayward rock ethic, underpinned by lyricist Russell Walker's dry, observational musings that tread an almost diary-like path throughout the songs. Brand new album ‘I’m On Nights’ was just released through Alter and features the band stalking into a world of drum machine clicks, spaced-out keyboard ditties and ennui-soaked rhymes.
