MARISA ANDERSON
Friday 4 September
Chats Palace, 42-44 Brooksby's Walk, London, E9 6DF
7.30pm | £16 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/jf9efbbf668f

MARISA ANDERSON channels the history of the guitar and stretches the boundaries of tradition. Her playing is fluid, emotional, and masterful, featuring compositions and improvisations that re-imagine the landscape of American music.  The New Yorker calls Anderson ‘one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation’, and NPR refers to her as among ‘this era’s most powerful players’. Her music has been featured in Rolling Stone, NPR, The  New York Times, Pitchfork, the BBC and The Wire. Festival appearances  include Big Ears, Pitchfork Midwinter, Le Guess Who and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. 

In addition to her solo work, Anderson is sought after as a collaborator and composer.  Swallowtail, her second record in duo with drummer Jim White was released May 2024 on Thrill Jockey Records. 2024 also saw the release of the feature film score ‘ A Perfect Day For Caribou’, as well as appearances on records by Charlie Parr, Myriam Gendron and Big|Brave. In addition to multiple solo releases, past projects include 2021’s Lost Futures with guitarist William Tyler, and contributions to recordings by Matmos, Tara Jane O’Neil, Beth Ditto, Sharon Van Etten and Circuit Des Yeux. Anderson’s new album, ‘The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music’ (out now on Thrill Jockey), is a collection of songs culled from the private record collection of the late Harry Smith. Assembled by Anderson after a chance encounter led to an opportunity to study and explore this treasure trove of music, the Anthology focuses on music from places that the United States has been in conflict with since 1970: Southeast Asia, the USSR and the Arabic and Islamic regions of the world.

Hana Stretton - London date announced!

 

Over the moon to announce this Grand Junction concert for Hana Stretton in September; nature-steeped moments of wistful pop abound! For this show Hana will be joined by Woom as her backing band, Woom will also perform their own set to open the show too!

HANA STRETTON
WOOM
Monday 14 September
Grand Junction, Rowington Cl, London, W2 5TF 


7.30pm | £15 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/g8217265905f

Hana Stretton is a British-Australian music producer and composer, recognised for her singular, deeply distinctive sound. Her stunning debut, Soon, quickly became a beloved work within the experimental lo-fi community. Phil Elverum described her music as “mysterious, deep, resonant, inhabitable,” and his label PW Elverum & Sun went on to release the album in 2024.

Deeply connected to the natural world, Stretton’s work traces a vivid journey - from the dusty Australian bushland of ‘Soon’ to the Pacific Ocean on her forthcoming LP, ‘tiarn’. Set for release this year, the new record takes an unexpected cinematic turn, weaving together classical and electronic influences.

In 2023-2024, Hana toured with Jessica Pratt, Mount Eerie and Julie Byrne as well as selling out London’s RAH Elgar Room, and appearing at festivals such as Haldern Pop and Sound Of Bronkow Festivals. For this special show at Grand Junction Hana will be backed by her live band Woom too. Woom will also support!

WOLF EYES are an experimental music group from Michigan, originally formed in 1998. Renowned for their distinctive and uncompromising sound, the band fuses elements of noise, industrial, and avant-garde music to create compositions that are both unsettling and hypnotic. Over the years, Wolf Eyes has released an extensive catalog of albums and EPs through numerous independent labels.

Known for their intense and unpredictable live performances, Wolf Eyes have earned international acclaim as one of the most innovative and challenging acts in the experimental electronic music scene. Currently comprised of John Olson and Nate Young, the duo has collaborated for over two decades, continually pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. Wolf Eyes’ new album ‘Self Embalmed’, is due out this autumn as a picture disc LP.

SOPHIA DJEBEL ROSE
Saturday 17 October
The Horse Hospital, Colonnade, London, WC1N 1JD 
7.30pm | £11 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/hf9055210b2d

SOPHIA DJEBEL ROSE is a Franco-Moroccan artist who distills a singular music. Blending folk, noise, experimental song, and avant-garde poetry, she invents a new language of her own. Born into the perpetual exile of a childhood divided between two countries, Sophia has turned wandering into her greatest strength. As a modern poetess, she now takes the stage alone, armed with an electric guitar, to sing of the beauty of the lands she has ceaselessly left behind. Her live performances intertwine Mediterranean music with ecological and feminist themes, all of it carried by a syncretic approach that merges into a mysticism meant as an invitation to break the course of things and to reclaim one’s strength. Her latest album, Sécheresse, released in february 2025 unveils nine mesmerizing & genre-defying tracks imbued with magnetic allure. Austere yet baroque, dark yet luminous, raw yet refined, this work escapes all categorization: it is an act of faith. To class among the unclassifiable, Sophia Djebel Rose lays the foundations for an oeuvre that follows in the lineage of avant-garde women who never ceased to challenge and expand the limits of style.

THE CLEANERS FROM VENUS
THE GARDENERS
Wednesday 30 September &…
Monday 5 October (newly announce show)!
Islington Assembly Hall, Upper St, London, N1 2UD
7pm | £18 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/Jeae6ca73fca  /  https://link.dice.fm/eb85ea9a3f61

THE CLEANERS FROM VENUS will be performing this Autumn in London. Martin Newell will be on guitar and piano, joined by Nelson Surfquake Nice -  an original member of Cleaners back in the 80s, and half of The Brotherhood of Lizards alongside Martin. The group will be performing some classic Cleaners songs, with a Brotherhood of Lizards cameo-set thrown in!

Martin Newell is a purveyor of ingenious pop music. His music is refracted from late 60s rock only shot through with invention from the rough-and-ready explosion of DIY tape releases in 80s Britain. As a songwriter, he’s right up there with Syd Barrett and Ray Davies, capturing a peculiar Englishness that’s very much his own. 

Martin started his career in music aged 19 when he joined an Essex glam-rock band called The Mighty Plod as a singer and gigged in rough clubs, pubs and colleges for the next two years. In his early twenties he joined a hard rock/prog band from Ipswich called Gypp and gigged in the UK as well as touring northern Germany several times. In 1979, he won his first record contract and shortly afterwards his first single ‘Young Jobless / Sylvie In Toytown’ was released, first on an indie label and then with Liberty Records. In the 1980s he formed the anarchic and wonderfully offbeat Cleaners From Venus, who after much defiance of music biz convention, signed to a London record company and began making proper records which were well reviewed and well-received. He began co-writing songs with Captain Sensible in 1986, a relationship which endures to some extent to this day. In 1989 he and his friend Nelson, now of New Model Army formed The Brotherhood of Lizards, were signed to make an album and proceeded to promote it, touring the record by bicycle. This led to many TV appearances and some notoriety and amusement in the media. In 1993, with XTC's Andy Partridge in the producer's chair Martin made what was to become his most successful album ‘The Greatest Living Englishman’, hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as a rock classic. Over the last ten years Martin has continued to release exhilarating albums under his own name and as Cleaners from Venus, most recently a winsome new Cleaners album called ‘K7’ was released on CD and cassette.

A highly-entertaining live act, Martin Newell performs infrequently, refusing nowadays to tour at all.  He has been the subject of  a highly-praised documentary film Upstairs Planet (2019) which enjoyed premieres both in London and in New York. A second documentary The Jangling Man, the director James Sharp’s intimate portrait of  Newell’s life and work,  premiered in London and Los Angeles in October 2022.

THE GARDENERS are a jangle-pop inspired indie rock band hailing from London and Southend On Sea. They have recently backed up Martin Newell as part of a live version of Cleaners From Venus. Check out their sublime new single ‘Round the West’ / ‘Falling from You’.

Gun Outfit & Artificial Go

 

Hello there!   The glorious day has arrived to share the sprawling wonder of Process and Reality - Gun Outfit’s astonishment of a sixth album! Gun Outfit is a long running lifestyle band out of Los Angeles, California. For two decades the group has been making unclassifiable underground rock music that strives to remain humble and true to life. Beginning as a crude duo, they have solidified into a crack five piece; a post punk band playing experimental folk rock with a local flavour.   The sound has grown mellower, more expansive and more intimate in response to the schizophrenic environment in which we live.         Process and Reality is Gun Outfit's most ambitious record yet. Self-recorded over the course of a month on a ranch in Pine Flat, California while a forest fire burned ten miles away, the album is an apocalyptic improvisation on a passing world. A series of sonic landscapes and a set of discrete and inviting songs,   Process and Reality is a maelstrom of vibe grounded by lyrical engagement and limited means. Dulcimer, autoharp, keyboard, melodica, sitar and a variety of other instruments in novel arrangements widen the sound, a collaborative approach to songwriting broadens the emotional scope and intuitive mixing and a commitment to analogue gear gives the production a subtle mystical resonance.    Order Process & Reality on DLP or CD from our webshop here! Principle songwriters Dylan Sharp and Carrie Keith grew up in rural Washington state, forming Gun Outfit in Olympia in 2006. Daniel Swire has been drumming in the band since 2010; on this record he plays a variety of other instruments as well. Multi-instrumentalist Henry Barnes (of Amps For Christ) joined in 2015, but this record emphasizes his virtuosity on his homemade instruments and electronics. Kayla Cohen has been playing bass in the band since 2019. Other collaborators - Chris Cohen, Warren Lee, Danny Sasaki and others - have all left their mark on this majestic double LP.            “Taking the worldly wisdom of heartland rock and infusing it with cosmic acceptance” 8/10 UNCUT “A dreamtime of reverb-drenched echoes of Grouper, Neil Young and Bardo Pond” * * * * MOJO   “Gun Outfit’s answer to Zen Arcade and Double Nickels On The Dime” THE WIRE   Alright! Upset The Rhythm also have an amazing live show on the horizon.   Next Wednesday at New River Studios we're beside ourselves to host Cincinnati new wave pop sensations Artificial Go! They're literally the most catchy, fun band going, plus we have excellent Feel It Records labelmates No Peeling coming down from Nottingham to shake things wildly up too. Tickets are £10 in advance or on the door, see you very much there!   Read on for all the specifics. You'll also find newly added shows for Carla dal Forno, Jake Xerxes Fussell, EarthBall and R.M.F.C. in our listings section.   Upset The Rhythm are also getting ready to partake in the always >F>U>N> and (hopefully sun-blessed) Independent Label Market this Saturday at Coal Drops Yard. We'll have lots of new and forthcoming releases with us, tons of back catalogue gems and some vanishingly rare warehouse finds! See you there from 11am - 6.30pm, do stop by and say hello!         Upset The Rhythm presents… ARTIFICIAL GO NO PEELING Wednesday 13 May New River Studios, 199 Eade Rd, Harringay, London, N4 1DN 7.30pm | £10 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/P1af2a986141 ARTIFICIAL GO hail from Cincinnati, USA, and bring the beat to life with their New / No / Whatever Wave weirdness! Last year they released ‘Musical Chairs’, building on 2024’s 'Hopscotch Fever', an album of ten existential post-punk chamber pop tracks. Recorded at Lambda Research and the haunted attic of the band’s house, the core trio of Angie Willcutt, Micah Wu, and Cole Gilfilen have traded the sparse jangle of their debut for a broader, fuller sound. ‘Musical Chairs’ deftly meshes the angular excitability of 'Hopscotch Fever' with a spectral warmth and expensiveness able to encompass acoustic guitars, Wu’s almost metaphysical funk bass lines, tape loops and blips and bleeps, a guest spot by Eric Dietrich (of The Drin and Sorry Eric) on saxophone, and Gilfilen’s hip moving boom-bap drumming add to the excitement. In Willcutt’s hands, the struggles, and at times terrors, of our current age are playfully subverted with agile world play and dynamic vocalization that moves from sweet and dreamy to cartoonishly exaggerated as she charts an emotional course through such topics as the difficulties of playing the role of “woman” in a misogynist world (“Playing Puppet”) or the injustice of anthropocentric hierarchy (“Tightrope Walker”). Musical Chairs is serious music not meant to be taken too seriously, a playful act of resistance, a meditation on the good and bad of this world, and ultimately a remarkable statement on the continuing growth of Artificial Go. https://artificialgo.bandcamp.com/ NO PEELING formed in 2025 as a studio project by five friends in the fertile Nottingham DIY underground. September 2025’s self-titled EP was the perfect introduction to the No Peeling universe. Bandcamp Daily picked it as an Essential Release, calling it “a clanging collection of get-in-get-out egg punk that doesn’t ask for more than 10 minutes of your time and overdelivers on every front”. It managed to cram a lifetime of idea-nuggets into seven songs that rarely exceeded the minute mark. A blast of enthusiasm and hyperactivity, the EP was the audio equivalent of a barrage firework: exhilarating and energising. Whilst the first EP was completed before the band had played live; the forthcoming EP2 hits a little differently.  EP2 has the garage punk clatter and sparkly efficiency of their debut but is somehow faster and weirder. The guitar and synth seem to be engaged in a constant (playful) fight, tumbling further and further away from the song structure being held together (and propelled) by one of the tightest rhythm sections around. The scrawl and skronk might occasionally recall No Wave but those grooves are locked down. This all provides the perfect foundation for the wry, dry observations of Sophie Diver. From pasta post and fluff-clad delinquents to clingfilm catastrophes and poor working conditions, all modern life’s bases are covered and emerge miraculously from a magic-eye explosion of clangs, thwacks and bloops.  https://nopeeling.bandcamp.com/album/no-peeling         Upset The Rhythm & Weird World presents... DISCOMBODURATION: HEN OGLEDD joined by special guests!  Saturday 6 June Horse Hospital, Colonnade, London, WC1N 1JD  2pm-10pm (8 hour set) | Free to all! | Just turn up on the day! HEN OGLEDD are a Scottish-Welsh-Geordie-Lancashire-Australian supergroup. They will be performing a special 8-hour sound-ritual in the most haunted and wondrous locale of The Horse Hospital in Bloomsbury, London this early summer. Splintering their latest album DISCOMBOBULATED through prisms of drone, improvisation, dance, caterwauling, kinetic-sculpture, befuddlement, squelching, dreamiest of dream-pop, ha-ha-harp, horrible stuff, coo-ing and large blasts - this extended un-concert is bound to be an immersive overwhelming experience and a pivotal moment in the history of people having a nice time.  DISCOMBODURATION explores themes of collapse, persistence, and collective imagination. With costume and a life(ish) size, pop up book set’ artist Rachael MacArthur will bring forth a lucid psychogenic fantasy episodic landscape with each stage of the performance. Hen Ogledd are exploring what it means to perform through crisis, to dance, speak, and imagine within the ruins, and to build, even temporarily, a space for a shared vision. Please join us for DISCOMBODURATION on 6th June, in entirety from 2pm til 10pm, or drop in as you please/at your own peril. https://www.henogledd.com/  Thank you for your time!

JAKE XERXES FUSSELL
NAIMA BOCK
Wednesday 14 October
Union Chapel, Compton Terrace, Islington, London, N1 2UN
6.30pm | £22 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/gabfbf797f55

JAKE XERXES FUSSELL is a singer, guitarist and folk music interpreter who has distinguished himself as one of his generation's preeminent interpreters of traditional (and not so traditional) "folk" songs, a practice which he approaches with a refreshingly unfussy lack of nostalgia. By recontextualizing ancient vernacular songs and sources of the American South, he allows them to breathe and speak for themselves and for himself; he alternately inhabits them and allows them to inhabit him. In all his work, Fussell humanises his material with his own curatorial and interpretive gifts, unmooring stories and melodies from their specific eras and origins and setting them adrift in our own waterways.

On his latest album, When I’m Called - his first LP for Fat Possum, and his first as a parent - Fussell returns to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning, loosely contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings. The album was produced by James Elkington and mixed by Tucker Martine. In addition to Elkington, it features the playing of Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station) and Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver, Califone). Blake Mills contributes guitars on several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals.

Aug 25th - EarthBall!

 

EarthBall have only just left the UK, but…. they’ll be back this Summer to play Krankenhaus Festival, so we’ve snapped them up to play London again! Bring it!

Upset The Rhythm presents…

EARTHBALL
Tuesday 25 August
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, London, N1 9JB
7.30pm | £13 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/Y653a0c64eb6

EARTHBALL are an avant/noise/rock wrecking ball of a band from Nanaimo, Canada. Rooted in total improvisation, free expression, and a deeply psychedelic sensibility, EarthBall operate on pure instinct. They hurtle onwards in a combustion of spontaneous composition, shooting from the hip, as they fall out of the sky ablaze. The group encompass Isabel Ford (vocals, bass), John Brennan (drums, percussion), Jeremy Van Wyke (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kellan Maclaughlin (guitar, talkbox), and Liam Murphy (saxophone). Each member brings a rich and varied musical history, with past and present projects including Shearing Pinx, Plan Your Future, Kamikaze Nurse, Eschatons, and Psychedelic Dirt. Collectively and individually, they have collaborated with artists such as Deerhoof, Raven Chacon, Chris Corsano, and William Hooker, deepening the band’s exploratory reach and collective language.

Since forming in 2021, EarthBall have released six cassettes and three fervently received LPs on Upset The Rhythm, including November’s widely acclaimed Outside Over There. Their latest release, Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4 (out June 26th), follows the first instalment in the series and captures two mind-quaking highlights from last winter’s European tour. This is EarthBall plunging to full fathom five, transforming into something rich and strange - channeling the fleeting moment as it fractures, erupts, and dissolves into the unknown. Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4 marks another ascent in EarthBall’s ever-expanding, totemic discography, an ecstatic storm of raw immediacy and unfiltered expression. EarthBall came, conjured and opened the portal! Blink and it’s gone. What was that? Actual Earth Music!

Carla dal Forno - London show on Oct 1st!

 

 

We’ve been playing Carla dal Forno’s affecting new album ‘Confession’ non-stop over the bank holiday, and now we’re delighted to confirm there’s a London concert planned for October 1st! How exciting?

CARLA DAL FORNO
Thursday 1 October
ICA, The Mall, London, SW1Y 5AH
7.30pm | £16.50 | Tickets: https://dice.fm/event/69f1eedac3bbec0001965111 

CARLA DAL FORNO is an Australian composer, songwriter and producer based in Castlemaine, Victoria. Working between post-punk minimalism, experimental pop and atmospheric electronics, she has built a dedicated international following through a series of acclaimed releases and extensive touring across Europe and North America.Her albums have been praised by outlets including Pitchfork, The Quietus and Resident Advisor, alongside airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music. Beyond her recorded work, dal Forno hosts a monthly radio program on NTS Radio, where she curates eclectic selections spanning experimental electronics, dub, post-punk and leftfield pop - offering insight into the wide-ranging influences that inform her own practice.

She has performed headline shows and festival appearances throughout the UK, Europe and the United States, including dates in London, Berlin, Paris and New York City, as well as appearances at Unsound Festival and Le Guess Who? Her fourth studio album, Confession, expands her signature sound while maintaining the minimal, immersive qualities that have defined her work to date. On stage, dal Forno delivers a focused and atmospheric set that moves between brooding electronics and melodic immediacy - a performance that is both restrained and quietly powerful.

R.M.F.C. heading to London this October!

A whole new level of EXCITEMENT needed for this show in October!

Upset The Rhythm presents…

R.M.F.C.
Saturday 3 October
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, London, N1 9JB
7.30pm | £15 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/ta72c863481e

R.M.F.C. is the recording project of New South Wales’ Buz Clatworthy. Buz Clatworthy seemingly writes songs with natural born ease, both unfussy and hyper catchy. Since 2018 R.M.F.C. have released a slew on 7”s on Anti Fade, Total Punk and Goodbye Boozy and 2023’s debut full-length ‘Club Hits’. This album gained energy and charm from both punchy songs and subtly, with each song moving R.M.F.C. forward, whilst holding something memorable.

Since then Clatworthy has continued to push himself creatively through singles, which feels like the smart play. He is allowed the freedom to experiment and express without really having to harken back to any trace of his beginnings of automaton-inflected, fast-paced wormy punk from his youth. Most recent 7” ‘Ecstatic Strife’ dips its mug into the punch bowl of what’s best about New Zealand’s ’80s jangle pop scene, with Clatworthy’s assured drumming keeping it on edge. B-side ‘Golden Trick’ is a magical stunner that delves into something more meditative. It’s meditative and lush and hopefully a promise of more to come.
