RATTLE album launch tomorrow in London!


Afternoon everyone!

Our next show takes place tomorrow at St Pancras Old Church. Marking the release of Rattle’s astonishing debut album, tomorrow night they will perform a celebratory set with complementary percussive performances from Charles Hayward and Benjamin Duvall (Ex-Easter Island Head).

Formed by Katharine Eira Brown and Theresa Wrigley, Rattle began as an experiment in crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves through post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms, phasing patterns and counter melodies, whilst their live show conjures with all things hypnotic, monastic and danceable, presenting them anew. Tickets cost £6 and we will have some available on the door from 7.30pm, with live music kicking off around 8pm.

Here’s a video of Rattle playing a brand new song from over the weekend at Supernormal to whet your appetite. 




In other news Rattle have just announced a series of September dates supporting Animal Collective on tour. Whilst we’ve added new performances from TERRY, Dan Hayhurst (of Sculpture), Lads, Sidney, Sook, Catenary Wires and LC Pumpkin to our upcoming shows program, check that out at the very end of this dispatch.

RATTLE are a Nottingham based duo, Rattle focus almost exclusively on drums and more drums, beneath a delicate overlay of vocal harmonies and percussive effects. Formed by Katharine Eira Brown (also of Kogumaza) and Theresa Wrigley (also of Fists), Rattle began as an experiment in crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves and intertwines post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms, patterns and counter melodies. Often starting by picking out the ghost notes from the drums to develop a melody, the song then reveals itself in rounds and harmonies with layer upon layer of rhythm and vocal, lending a choral feel to some of the tracks. Rattle effortlessly blend the avant-garde with irresistible melodies and hypnotic drum beats, using rhythm and harmony to create a refreshing sound that is utterly new - a pretty rare feat these days when we’re saturated with so much music. Their live performances are at once hypnotic, monastic and danceable, having entranced audiences at Supersonic Festival, Dot to Dot, throughout the UK during a recent tour with Witching Waves and in Europe with Zea (Arnold de Boer from The Ex). Rattle’s debut self-titled album will be released on Upset The Rhythm and I Own You on August 5th, this show celebrates their London record launch!

CHARLES HAYWARD is an English drummer and songwriting singer, known primarily as a founding member of the experimental rock group This Heat and avant-pop unit Camberwell Now. He also played with Mal Dean's Amazing Band, Radar Favourites, Dolphin Logic, and gigged and recorded with old schoolfriend and "Pooh and the Ostrich Feather" member Phil Manzanera in the group Quiet Sun project as well as a short stint with Gong. He was a session musician on The Raincoats' second album, Odyshape, and on one occasion played drums for the anarchist punk band Crass. For this show Charles will be performing two pieces for percussion including ‘Bell Agency’ and ‘30 Minute Snare Drum Roll’.

EX-EASTER ISLAND HEAD will also perform in solo mode with Benjamin D. Duvall presenting a mesmeric new work for prepared guitars and FM radios, tuning into the furthermost territories of the groups' unique vocabulary in pursuit of resonances sympathetic or otherwise. Ex-Easter Island Head's new LP, ‘Twenty-Two Strings’ is released August 5th by Low Point records.
