Upset The Rhythm presents…
LOWTIDE
ICE BATHS
Tuesday 5 September
The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle St, Angel, London, N1 0XT
7.30pm | £5.00 | TICKETS
LOWTIDE's murmurs have been
growing of late. The shimmering vocal exchanges between Lucy Buckeridge
and Giles Simon and their unique dual bass lines are pivotal to their
shoegaze sonics. These hazy vocals and swirling guitar effects are given
room to breathe as the band masterfully exploit rhythm and space.
Australian fans have been enjoying all of this since 2014 - as well as a
cover of Asylum Party's 'Julia' in 2015. Here in the UK we only got the
record last August - and it's been spinning on our stereo regularly
since then. 2016 was a breakthrough year for the dream pop / indie pop /
shoegaze specialists who received critical acclaim for their inaugural
long-player including in Rough Trade's renowned 'Albums Of The Year'
list whilst also having amassed 4 and 4.5 star reviews in many of their
homeland of Australia's magazines, and a string of sold out shows.

ICE BATHS are a London based Calgary scene inspired post-punk 4 piece. Heavily indebted to Women, Viet Cong as well as Swell Maps, Deerhunter, Chad VanGaalen etc. Ice Baths attempt at finding that often elusive middle ground between pop sensibilities and self-gratifying indulgence. |

ROBERT SOTELO - ‘Cusp’ album launch!
CLEMENTINE MARCH POZI Friday 8 September New River Studios, 199 Eade Rd, Manor House, London, N4 1DN 7.30pm | £5.00 | TICKETS
ROBERT SOTELO is the nom de
plume of Andrew Doig, a 36 year old serial musician originally from
Peterborough, UK. Andrew's middle name is Robert, whilst Sotelo is his
mother's maiden name. Using this alter ego he's been able to write and
record the twelve songs that make up his debut solo record 'Cusp'
(released on September 1st though Upset The Rhythm). Sotelo plays every
instrument on the album and recorded and edited it with long term friend
John Hannon throughout 2016 at No Studios in Rayleigh, Essex. Sotelo's
verdant world of sound is at once intimate, choosing to build songs up
from ambitious layers of instrumentation into miniature psych pop
overtures of genuine sincerity of feeling. Very much grounded in that
particular forward-facing strain of mid-60s rock that edged towards Sgt
Pepper, Sotelo's music owes as much to Davies and McCartney's unashamed
belief in melody as it does to the uncertainty and confusion that comes
with mid-thirties existentialism. 'Cusp' is an album that explores the
individual in a post-social life era, with Sotelo starting the project
initially as an attempt to re-engage with the people he used to know,
without relying on nostalgia as a common bond. From this worthy spark of
a plan, he's created something grand and compelling, a vast tapestry of
songs that stand up and sound afresh.

CLEMENTINE MARCH was born in France, and musically trained in Brazil, now as a Londoner she writes songs and instrumentals that cross language and genre borders, mashing raw rock sounds, pastoral pop compositions and Brazilian influences with her experience of playing with, to name a few excellent co-conspirators, Snapped Ankles, Julien Gasc, Mega Bog, Pollyanna Valentine, and her own previous band, Water Babies. https://clementinemarchofficiall.bandcamp.com/ POZI are a new London-based trio and brainchild of Toby Burroughs formerly of Totem (Moshi Moshi Records). Synth-like electric violin weaves through rampant drums and stomping bass, filling your headspace with sparse, angular energy. Their unique world will hypnotize you - it can be manic, fun and unnerving but will get you moving! |
Thanks as ever for reading! See you later!
