Upset The Rhythm presents…
EVIL SWORD
SHAKE CHAIN
SPLIT APEX
Saturday 5 April
New River Studios, 199 Eade Rd, Harringay, London, N4 1DN
7.30pm | £8 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/B1970de44fb0
EVIL SWORD are Kate Ferencz and Ben Furgal from Philadelphia, USA. Their chaotic live shows combine elements of noise, cryptic metal overtones, performance art, and gallows humor and feature macabre props, flashing lights, stage sets and costumes. There are hardly any instruments in this group, but they make such a racket you’d never know it. The bass and the percussion sound like they’re having a great time, telling each other jokes. Then the words come in and it all locks together in these strange, hypnotic rhythms. I just listen to the stories and laugh and cry and get scared and wonder what they were ever thinking.
Recent album ‘Basket Fever’ (Magic Pictures, 2023) features electrocuted bells, backwards parts, rusty horns; I’m pretty sure I even heard a clarinet in there somewhere. There’s this one part where it all seems to come back around, where they took some gang vocals from the very first demo they ever recorded and slowed it way down. When they first started; I thought they were some goofy kids making music about the end of the world, back when that seemed a little further away, like it was going to be fun. They were all laughing and making these funny ghost sounds, but now everyone’s older and the ghosts are real, a great whoosh of bygone spirits and cold air. It’s bone chilling. There’s plenty to be upset about, but it’s not really an Evil Sword song until that grimace has been twisted up into a smile.
Great morning!
Thank you all so much for coming out in your droves for Six Organs of Admittance last week, such a wonderful night.
This Saturday we're back in the swing of things hosting Evil Sword at New River Studios.
Evil Sword are a Philadelphian duo of cryptic noise-makers combining performance art, witch-punk and crushing metallic overtones. Their shows feature macabre props, flashing lights, costumes and gallows humour galore. Joining the melee are Shake Chain and Split Apex too, so we will be well and truly entertained. Live music will spark up from 8pm, tickets are £8 in advance and we will have some available on the door too.
This terrific concert leads us into Upset The Rhythm's chock-a-block week! Next Monday we organising a concert at Grand Junction with the matchless Myriam Gendron and The Memory Band. Then on April 9th we're pitching up at The Lexington for a headrush of a show with Wendy Eisenberg, Ryan Sawyer and Kiran Leonard.
The very next day, April 10th, sees us promoting a colossal event at The Underworld for Wolf Eyes, Sly & The Family Drone and Soborgnost. Wow!
Then we cap off this active run with an album launch for Buffet Lunch at The George Tavern on April 11th. The most excellent Lerryn and Sassyhiya are both performing at this one too, thrilling times!
See YOU there!
