New Deerhoof album, plus upcoming shows for Quintron & Miss Pussycat and Wolf Eyes!

 
 
Hello again!
We’re over the moon here at Upset The Rhythm as this June we will be releasing a new Deerhoof album entitled 'The Magic'. After all the accolades, what’s a legendary band left to do? Rent out an abandoned office space in the middle of the desert in New Mexico in lieu of a regular recording studio, go in with little or no preconceived notions of what would happen, set up, plug in and get loud! After seven days Deerhoof had found (you guessed it) ‘The Magic’, a raw and refreshing wallop of an album about leaving your comfort zone and finding a pineapple.
 
With this new album, Deerhoof have dreamed up an alchemy of '77 punk, pop, glam, hair metal, doo-wop, hip hop, and R&B, late-night car rides, long days, spandex, shadows, and attitude. Poetry into noise, friendship into rock band.
‘The Magic’ will be available on white 180g vinyl housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, we're also releasing a CD and digital version too. These are possible to pre-order from our webshop now, including options for you to bag a bonus 'covers tape' of Deerhoof playing some of their favourite songs of others (Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Public Enemy, David Bowie, etc). Listen to lead track 'Plastic Thrills' now to get ahead of the curve!
 
 
 
 
 
We’re also going to take this opportunity to alert you to our next two shows which take place on the following two Fridays. Tomorrow we head towards DIY Space For London for super rare appearance from underground party legends Quintron & Miss Pussycat. Self-proclaimed purveyors of ‘New Orleans Swamp Tech’ music, Q & Miss P start their phenomenal live show with a 20 minute puppet show, setting the surreal tone for the subsequent dance party revelation! Conceptual kindred spirits Ravioli Me Away will also be performing, so we’re in good hands from the off.
  
 
 
Then one week tomorrow, three dark moons will align over the Tufnell Park Dome for our colossal concert for trip-metal forebears Wolf Eyes, which also sees the rapturous Aaron Dilloway and out-punk thrashers No Form both performing too.
 
We have tickets for both events available in advance, the links for both accompany full listings found below.
 
 
 
In other show-related news, this week we have confirmed a special joint-headline concert for the incomparable talents of Asiq Nargile and Heather Leigh this August at The Forge.
 
We’ve also set up two events in June at Servant Jazz Quarters that have been announced these last few days, the first is for Los Angeles Free Music Society paragons Joe & Rick Potts & Vetza, known for their electrifying work in early-noise outfit Airway. The second showcases Maryjane from VEXX’s new swoon-pop synth project CC Dust with Static Palm in support.
 
If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also added Australian punks Deaf Wish as support to The Oblivians in July.

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT have been making genre-defying noise and “Swamp-Tech” dance music in New Orleans for over fifteen years. The majority of their ten full-length albums have the psychedelic soul of New Orleans garage R&B filtered through a tough distorted Hammond B-3 and a cache of self-made electronic instruments. Quintron has also released strange soundscapes based on inner-city field recordings of frogs and neighborhood ambiance. Quintron regards his most significant creation to be his patented instrument called the DRUM BUDDY, a light activated analog synthesizer that creates murky, low-fidelity, rhythmic patterns. 
 
Miss Pussycat, otherwise known as Panacea Theriac, is a New Orleans based puppeteer. Born in Antlers, Oklahoma, she began learning puppetry at the Christian Puppet Youth Ministry at the First Baptist Church of Antlers. She began her professional career in New Orleans and assisted in founding the influential night club “Pussycat Caverns.” For the past fifteen years she has travelled internationally conducting puppet shows in rock clubs and at international festivals. She is the President of Rhinestone Records and produces vinyl LPs of her puppet’s many bands. The Quintron and Miss Pussycat live show is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, crazed dance beats, small explosions, colourful clothes, and entertaining puppet stories; in short always a revelation.
 
RAVIOLI ME AWAY are a dangerously ambitious and delusional all-girl jazzy, post-pop-punk, hip-funk outfit with a stylistic theme spanning all past, present and future human cultures and subcultures. Consider vintage Bananarama played with twice the sass and urgency, only reflected in the eyes of a much overworked and downright exhausted Julie Burchill on acid. Check out their excellent debut album on Good Job and their split LP with Dog Chocolate on Upset The Rhythm now for proof of their genius.
 
 
 
 
 
WOLF EYES
AARON DILLOWAY
NO FORM
Friday 29 April
Tufnell Park Dome, 178 Junction Road, Tufnell Park, N19 5QQ
7.30pm | £10 | TICKETS
 
WOLF EYES are the foremost trip metal band in the multiverse. Whilst their infamous blistering noise propelled them from being a dank Ann Arbour, Michigan basement sensation to the upper ranks of Sub Pop, their music has since mutated into a meticulous cudgel of creeping dread, halting rhythms and snarled melodics. From touring with Sonic Youth and Andrew W.K., Wolf Eyes have crossed  borders into popularity which few other such confrontational units of their ilk have been able to and kept straight and narrow on their blazing path. Originally started as the solo project of former Nautical Almanac member Nate Young, he was soon joined by Aaron Dilloway in 1998, John Olson in 2000 then Mike Connelly and now Crazy Jim. They has released over 150 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and Sub Pop, as well as on Olson’s American Tapes label, Dilloway’s Hanson Records, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label and Nate Young’s AA Records. This show sees Wolf Eyes play a headline show drawing from their stunning new album “I am a problem: mind in pieces”, out now on Jack White’s Third Man Records.
 
AARON DILLOWAY hails from Michigan, and is perhaps best known as a founding member of formidable trip metal gods Wolf Eyes. Since he left that band a decade ago, he’s delicately extended his exploration of tape manipulations, ritualised performance and found-sound appropriation, simultaneously bringing warmth and acidity, high-end assault and dreamy dislocation in a way that could be said to unwittingly form a bridge between Robert Ashley and hauntology. A serial collaborator, he’s also made great records in cahoots with Jason Lescalleet, C. Spencer Yeh and many more and been compared to Maryanne Amacher and Nurse With Wound. Currently based in Malta this show follows on from his recent electrifying appearances in London with Sissy Spacek, Vicky Langan and Evan Parker. https://www.facebook.com/Aaron-Dilloway-136620113037549/
 
NO FORM invoke a dark portal, bathing in the murk, devoid of all light. This is punk, as antagonistic and cleansing as it ever can be. No Form’s notorious live power is finally captured on their debut LP (co-released by Reagent Records and Muscle Horse), with four shorter pulsating numbers on Side A and one long jam on Side B that approaches the outer limits. Shrill, disconcerting guitar leads and tormented vocals slither over an affirmative pummel that exists at the meeting point between outlier hardcore punk and proto-industrial at its most confrontational. Deceptively catchy thrashing coexists with sinister, siren-call sax wails. This is music for the perennially despondent, music as life ritual.
 
 
 
Your time and effort is always appreciated!
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Upset The Rhythm
