Dog Chocolate news, plus lots of recently confirmed shows!



 
Hello everyone!
 
I trust you’re all in the swing of things now spring has sprung, gambling like lambs through the everyday hubbub. This week at Upset The Rhythm we’ve been assembling Dog Chocolate LPs for their forthcoming ‘Snack Fans’ release this month. Filling each record with magenta vinyl, a poster, lyric book, computer game plus a variety of bonus delights, we’ve had a whale of the time and now feel like jumping around the room wearing a red coat, a blue nose and some books lashed to our backs. Watch their most recent video and all will become clear, it's a right brain-boggle, will we ever be the same again!
 
 
 
Dog Chocolate have an eclectic album launch planned for March 24th at Apiary Studios, which you can read more about below, along with news of all our upcoming events. Which reminds me, since we last talked we’ve been rushed off our feet confirming new concerts for The Intelligence, Geneva Jacuzzi, Ty Segall & The Muggers, Ausmuteants, Eartheater, Gabriel Saloman, Nap Eyes, Cian Nugent and a special evening with Darren Hayman presenting his beguiling ‘Thankful Villages’ project. UTR is an idle hands / devil’s work free zone! Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…
 
  
 
 
 
Come and celebrate Dog Chocolate’s debut album coming out, with bands, comedy, food, projections, DJs...

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.
