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.
http://flamingods.bandcamp.com/
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.
Meghan and Max will be playing two sets FYI.
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
Saturday 17 August

Noon-midnight | £15.00 |
