This will be amazing! London show confirmed for Rose McDowall.


Upset The Rhythm presents...


ROSE MCDOWALL
Thursday 28 May
St Pancras Old Church, Pancras Road, King's Cross, NW1 1UL
7.30pm | £9 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/309198

ROSE MCDOWALL began her career in her hometown of Glasgow, operating within the nascent punk scene with her first group The Poems. After a meteoric rise to pop stardom with Strawberry Switchblade (along with friend Jill Bryson), McDowall submerged herself in the post-industrial landscape, recording with the likes of Coil, Boyd Rice and Current 93. Shortly after, she began recording with her own group Sorrow, before disappearing into the underground, re-surfacing for occasional performances only. Recently Rose has teamed up with our friends Night School Records and are proud to announce an extensive archive project commencing in 2015. Spanning Rose’s 34 year career, the project will include reissues and unreleased recordings alongside unseen photographs and new sleeve notes. 2015 sees McDowall re-evaluate her career, recontextualising material from her back catalogue into new forms. Drawing on her roots in early 80s guitar melancholia but celebrating the future, McDowall is now at the height of her melodic powers.

Madalyn Merkey will make her UK debut on March 20th!



Upset The Rhythm presents…

MADALYN MERKEY
MEDDICINE
RATTLE
Friday 20 March
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB
8pm | £6 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/308428

MADALYN MERKEY makes spellbinding ambient/electro-acoustic music, flooded with exotic alien tones. As a student of the famous Mills College it’s understandable that her work is rooted in academic process and research, yet her new album ’Valley Girl’ (released on ‘New Images’) is also inspired by the agriculture and rolling landscapes of Madalyn’s native California. Using computer generated tones and sequences, she spreads out a unique topography of phase-modulated triangle waveforms and sine tones serrated into small atolls or peaks and interspersed with human traces of her processed, siren-like vocals redolent of some vintage Hawaiian exotica. The result is a minimal but super rich and vibrant sound field, one constantly in motion and quivering with lush harmonics that keep the ear tracing its ambisonic trajectories. In other words, it's hugely recommended for drifting off, far and away.

MEDDICINE aka Monika Krol is a post-punk synthesist who plays fractured noise pop over a backing track of industrial soundscapes. With jackhammer drum machine patterns nailing down synth blasts that alternate between pulsing, menacing to full-blown white noise, Meddicine is a one-woman sound howl conjuring up Suicide or even TG. Clattering and oscillating her way through old sounds and new, Meddicine produces some of the darkest, most-damaged and affecting analogue electronic music you are likely to hear on this planet or any other.

RATTLE are a drumming duo based in Nottingham and comprised of Theresa J Wrigley and Katharine Eira Brown. Both musicians also play drums for two other well respected bands, with Theresa in Fists and Katy in Kogumaza. Far from the hippy bongo nightmare one might imagine from a band made up of only two drummers, Rattle instead play minimalist rhythms that remain both hypnotic and danceable heavily thanks to the delicate vocal melodies which accompany their beats. Their sound recalls This Heat or ESG whilst remaining uniquely their own.

PROLAPSE in London!!!


We’re extremely excited to announce that PROLAPSE will be playing for us in May. Having recently reunited for Mogwai’s series of 20th Anniversary shows in June, Prolapse have reformed with their original lineup and have well and truly stepped back into the realm of live music. 

The once Leicester-based six piece, fronted by both Linda Steelyard  and “Scottish” Mick Derrick split around the turn of the millennium after having released four immense albums (for Cherry Red, Lissy’s, Radar and Cooking Vinyl) and were well known for their exhilarating live performances which focused around the tension and energy between co-vocalists. This concert at The Victoria on May 29th will be the band’s first show in London for 16 years!
