KIT - OUT OF RUINS video!!!

KIT "Out of Ruins" music video from Steven Andrew Garcia on Vimeo.


Yeh, here's a new video for KIT's song 'Out Of Ruins', taken from their recent album 'Invocation' on Upset The Rhythm.

The 16mm film captures a Predator-masked kid with a guitar-smashing complex trailing around Los Angeles fulfilling his primal urge to destroy. We think it looks insane and wonderful so wanted to share it with you, look out for Jim Smith on the telephone too, "hello!"

Steven Andrew Garcia is a director/photographer in Los Angeles, California. He has directed music videos for bands including Mika Miko and Blackblack and has shot videos for bands including UTR pals Male Bonding and Former Ghosts.

YES WAY - THIS WEEK




We're taking this opportunity to remind you once again about all the bands playing our three day YES WAY festival this weekend at the Bussey Building. We still have some three day passes for just £18 as well as plenty of day tickets available, so come celebrate the UK's music underground with us! Times will be announced on the day at the venue, come early! Words...


YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY YES WAY !!

*^*^*^ FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY ^*^*^*

YES WAY is a weekend festival celebrating the UK's best and brightest independent art and music.

Building on the success of the last two year's sold out events, it will see 42 bands, representing the length and breadth of the British Isles, perform over two stages at Peckham art hub, The Bussey Building.

We'll have Dalston's Underground Film Club (The Pictures) screening a special compilation of DIY documentaries, music videos and no-future shorts. Some chopped and rejigged live projections from Charles Chintzer Lai, interpretative canvas wrangling from Tim Hill and much more. A large scale screenprinted Ice Cream Tsunami skyline courtesy of Lydia Donut is being installed tomorrow and an exhibition is planned of many, many representations of this following promo photo of Mr Randy Newman:

RANDY PHOTO

Randy Newman? Yes, Randy Newman. In support of our recent release of our split Please / Spin Spin The Dogs LP whose artwork depicts the Randy above through the eyes of six different members of the band we've now broadened the obsession to everyone. If you'd like to bring your own Randy (artwork etc.), please do, come see us at the door and we'll hang it with the others.

There'll also be a temporary DIY supermarket (bring things, get involved), tasty local and afro-vegan food, and The Bussey Building's own jerk barbeque. Read on for more info on all the band's performing over the whole three days!

HEAVEN IS REAL


Our friend Adam has written a book about UTR's prodigal son JOHN MAUS and he has a book launch happening in London towards the end of this month, full details to follow, looks like a great event! UTR x




SOME WORDS >>>>

John Maus is one of the most intriguing artists in the millennial wave of lo-fi pop, assembling his unique and intimate language from synth pop, disco, baroque classical and church music. Yet Maus’s work is much more than another exercise in retroist hybridity, and his overtures on truth and love are, upon further listening, no mere ironic posturing. Does Maus have something to teach us about arriving at the truth through personal musical expression, or is he on a doomed Romantic adventure? Has he really discovered Heaven – and can he take us there?

YES WAY


It’s that time of the year for YES WAY to jump back in its saddle! Taking place between August 12-14, YES WAY is a London-based three day festival intent on celebrating the UK's best and brightest independent art and music.


After the success of last two year's sold out events, YES WAY 3 will see 45 bands, representing the length and breadth of the British Isles, perform over two stages this time at Peckham art hub The Bussey Building, previously used by UTR for their Spaghetti Tree festival in April to great success. We’ll have our usual DIY swapshop / record store, tasty local and Vegan food, now supplemented by the Bussey Building’s rooftop bar-BQ too.


YES WAY has been a real turning point for the UK’s underground music scene. The emphasis of the festival is on exposing under the radar gems from around the UK, uniting musicians from disparate genres and local scenes, helping to foster a sense of community and enthusiasm amongst them and fans of the music. The fact that only four of the acts this year played at last year’s event speaks volumes for the on-going fertility of that burgeoning community.



Over the course of the three days the following bands will be appearing at YES WAY:
