Good morning
everyone!
Melbourne
melody-wranglers Terry will be climbing aboard their plane for London
imminently as their debut European tour kicks off on Monday. We’ll be hosting
Terry twice this month, once with The Rebel and Sarcasm on Monday
at The Victoria, and secondly with swoon-punks Pega Monstro and new band
Sook on September 21st at The 100 Club. Full details on both
of these cracking concerts can be found below, including with ticket links,
whilst full tour dates can be found on our website here, along with tour dates
for Deerhoof, Rattle, Sauna Youth and The World!
Thank you all
for making Chris Cohen’s show this Monday such a success too, here’s a little
clip of his set for those who are interested.
We’ve been
busy this week, as we also announced new events in November for Tim Presley
(of Drinks, White Fence, Hair etc.) and for ever-excellent Shopping,
accompanied by Scrap Brain, Squeakeasy and Molar too! All
these new shows have been added to our listings section at the end of this humble
missive. Read on for more of everything…, and remember Upset The Rhythm will be
taking part in tomorrow’s Independent Label Market on the rooftop of
Uniqlo on Oxford Street tomorrow, we will have many items of curiousity and
powerful merit to entrust on you from 11am-5pm. Bargains galore as always, see
you in the clouds!
\\\\\ MONDAY /////
TERRY
THE
REBEL
SARCASM
Monday 12 September
The Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Rd, Dalston, E8 3AS
TERRY is getting ready, combing his hair, buttoning his
jacket, turning the key in the door. "I'm doing fine," sings Terry
out loud, he knows. Divide him into four and you get Al Montfort (UV Race,
Total Control, Dick Diver etc.), Amy Hill (Constant Mongrel, School Of Radiant
Living), Xanthe Waite (Mick Harvey Band) and Zephyr Pavey (Eastlink, Total
Control, Russell Street Bombings). Inevitably, Terry likes to make a noise.
Drums, guitars and all his voices come into play, making a solid raft for
Terry's inner musings to navigate the languid rapids. This all unravels at its
own pace, sometimes drifting into glam pop and country backwaters, always
conducting a conversation with the commonplace. Love is a highway, but you’re
not likely to find Terry there anymore. He’s on the plane. Terry
saw the light, he put on his sunhat and is heading to Europe for the
first time. Debut album, ‘Terry HQ’ was released this summer by Upset The
Rhythm.
THE
REBEL is prolific London outsider Ben Wallers;
a charismatic lone wolf in a cowboy hat or trilby and a tie whose electrified
howls are too idiosyncratic to be broken down into market-oriented terms. It is
difficult to sketch a thumbnail summary of a musician who has amassed a vast
and unwieldy discography under a variety of names and genres: the most widely
acclaimed is probably the Country Teasers, but he also moonlights as, or in,
the Rebel, the Company, the Male Nurse, the Beale, the Stallion, the Black
Poodle and Skills on Ampex, across folk, country, garage, post-punk, no wave
and electronic pop. In the main part The Rebel is centred around twisted Casio
drones, clanging guitar and some defiantly deadpan vocals, all thrown in the
pan and pressure-cooked in Wallers' mind. Wallers has amassed a
near-unquantifiable discography over the past 20 years, from scores of more or
less “official” LPs, EPs and 7”s to seemingly endless self-released cassettes.
SARCASM provide the dystopian post-punk, featuring members
of Efialtis, Semi and Snob. Check out their ‘Total Institution’ tape that just
came out through Far So Far.

PEGA MONSTRO
TERRY
SOOK
Wednesday 21 September
100 Club, 100 Oxford St, Oxford Street, W1D 1LL
PEGA MONSTRO are sisters Júlia Reis (drums) and
Maria Reis (guitar, keyboard), both sing! Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal,
Maria and Júlia have been playing music together since they were 15 and 17
respectively, in other groups first before resolving on becoming a duo. Back in
2010, both sisters started a record label, along with some of their musician
friends, called Cafetra Records to document Portugal’s garage punk scene.
Cafetra represents a community of like-minded musicians who all help each
other, making music that they’d want to hear, powered by enthusiasm. 2012 saw
Pega Monstro release their self-titled debut album, making for a raucous record
that met with critical national acclaim. Last summer, Pega Monstro released
their new album entitled ‘Alfarroba’ on Upset The Rhythm. The songs on
‘Alfarroba’ deal with many themes, some universal topics like love and growing
up, others focusing on the nature of writing songs themselves, whilst some try
to make sense of the world from a female perspective. Returning to London after
their spectacular performance with Deerhoof last August and February’s sold out
headline show at Moth Club, expect torrents of energy from Pega Monstro; snare
rolls triggering flights of guitar, and fogs of cymbal shimmer that form steps
for their vocals to climb.

TERRY is getting ready, combing his hair,

sings Terry out loud, he knows. Divide him into four and you get Al Montfort
(UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver etc.), Amy Hill (Constant Mongrel, School

SOOK is Al (Bin Bags/Dick
Diver), Susan (Totally/Feathers), and Lachlan (ex Die! Die! Die!). Combining a
taste for primitive electro and forty-year old wheat harvested from the top
paddocks of Australia's post-punk underground, Sook are here to blow the chaff
away and shirtfront you with some aggressively un-pastoral themes, ripping
guitars and freaky synths.
