PRIESTS
SPECIAL GUESTS
THE SNIVELLERS
Thursday 25 May
OSLO, 1a Amhurst Road, Hackney, London, E8 1LL
7.30pm | £8 | TICKETS
PRIESTS are Daniele Daniele
(drums), Katie Alice Greer (vocals), G.L. Jaguar (guitar), and Taylor
Mulitz (bass). Formed in 2011 in Washington DC, the band has proven a
valuable force for strangeness in a city that is increasingly
terraformed by norms. At a time when few groups were making serious
moves beyond the Beltway, Priests toured throughout North America and
Europe. More significantly, they've helped to raise the general standard
of show-going at home through cassettes and singles released on Sister
Polygon, including music by bands like Sneaks, Snail Mail, Pinkwash,
Cigarette, Downtown Boys, and numerous Priests-affiliated groups like
Gauche and Flasher. Still, even amidst thriving hometown creativity,
Priests possess a singular gravity. They are physical and combustible,
urgent and visceral. This January, Nothing Feels Natural, the band's
first full length LP was released on their own label Sister Polygon
Records. It's the bands most stylistically diverse set of songs to date,
expanding on their lo-fi post-punk bona-fides with ideas drawn from
pop, R&B, and industrial noise. Thematically, Nothing can be
understood as a series of vignettes - nine stories that crystallize into
a bigger picture about the economics of human relationships, the
invisibility of feminized labor, and the dual purpose of art for both
the group and the individual. It's a record that thrives amid the
tension between that what is valued and what is dismissed; between what
is desired and what is presented.
THE SNIVELLERS are prime purveyors of groveling punk music from Brighton, featuring members of Joanna Gruesome, Garden Centre & Shecket.

Upset The Rhythm presents…
OOIOO
BAMBOO
Tuesday 30 May
Kamio, 3 Rivington Street, London, EC2A 3JL
8pm | £12 | TICKETS
NB. New date for April’s postponed event, original tickets remain valid.
OOIOO has always created a
musical language all its own. Under the leadership of Yoshimi, also a
founding member of Boredoms, the group has recorded six albums that have
subverted expectations and warped perceptions of what constitutes pop
and experimental music. Four years of work went into to making Gamel,
their bold new album inspired by the Javanese style of gamelan and the
first new music from Yoshimi in over five years. Gamelan is an ancient
form that has inspired a great many composers and musicians over the
past century, from Erik Satie and Claude Debussy to Mouse on Mars and
Sun City Girls. The introduction of this traditional form transformed
the group into a super tribe, side-stepping the road between the past
and the future. Their focus is not to replicate these ancient styles,
but to incorporate them into their consistently inventive, constantly
shifting musical frameworks. They take their love of indigenous music
into an entirely new dimension by freely weaving organic and electric
tones into a vivid tapestry, employing their keen sense of color and
texture.
Yoshimi began her music career in 1986
playing drums in UFO or Die with vocalist Eye, and later joined him in
the revolutionary noise-pop group Boredoms. Her explosive drum
performances captivated audiences and even inspired Wayne Coyne to name a
now-famous Flaming Lips album in her honor. While the band's tours of
the United States are infrequent, they are as the New York Times has
stated, transcendent.
BAMBOO is the sublime project
from Nick Carlisle (of Peepholes, Don't Argue) and Rachel Horwood (of
Trash Kit, Halo Halo). Their music is vivid and deeply poignant, locking
into a magnetic attraction between Rachel's flawlessly resonant folk
cadence and Nick's pristine synth pop production. Bamboo's second studio
album, The Dragon Flies Away, is due 26th May on Upset The Rhythm on
LP, CD and digitally. Initially released last winter on a limited run of
50 cassettes with an accompanying zine designed by Horwood, The Dragon
Flies Away tells a story loosely associated with the Hannya demon mask
of Noh theatre plays such as Dojoji, and reflects the range of emotion
the Hannya mask is capable of displaying: obsession, jealousy, sorrow
and rage. 'The Dragon Flies Away' presents its story in two acts and is
now presented newly re-mastered with a gatefold sleeve and lyric /
artwork sheet. Horwood's evocative paintings are given centre stage with
the packaging, allowing the album's story to grow beyond sound, making
the journey all the more immersive.
