Upset The Rhythm presents…
NOTS
THE WORMS
Wednesday 7 June
Cafe OTO, 22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London, E8 3DL
NOTS are a 4 piece, all XX, "nuevo no
wavo" band from Memphis, TN. Unpredictable guitars, celestial synths, and
punctuated vocals swirl around the repetition of a powerful rhythm section to
form a sound and a live show not easily classifiable but entirely addictive.
Drummer Charlotte Watson and guitarist Natalie Hoffmann are the band's two
constants throughout a handful of roster changes. NOTS' current lineup also
includes Alexandra Eastburn on synth, an instrument she picked up to join NOTS
and to record on their first full-length LP ‘We Are Nots’, and bassist Meredith
Lones, another new Memphis musician, and the most recent addition to the band.
NOTS' newest punk-noise-psych-collision LP, ‘Cosmetic’, aggressively follows on
the heels of their debut LP, foreshadowing an ever expanding experiment in
direction of things to come for the band. NOTS have releases on Heavenly &
Goner Records, plus a brand new live 7" on Third Man.
THE WORMS
is a stripped-down, future-primitive negative-capability trio making politely
furious snotty punk minimalism. A snarling update on Messthetics culture
with even more of the fat boiled off and the anger dialed up.
