Afternoon
everyone!
Our next show
takes place tomorrow at St Pancras Old Church. Marking the release of Rattle’s astonishing debut album, tomorrow
night they will perform a celebratory set with complementary percussive performances
from Charles Hayward and Benjamin Duvall (Ex-Easter Island Head).
Formed
by Katharine Eira Brown and Theresa Wrigley, Rattle began as an experiment in
crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves through
post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms,
phasing patterns and counter melodies, whilst their live show conjures with all
things
hypnotic, monastic and danceable, presenting them anew. Tickets cost £6 and we
will have some available on the door from 7.30pm, with live music kicking off
around 8pm.
Here’s
a video of Rattle playing a brand new song from over the weekend at Supernormal
to whet your appetite.
In
other news Rattle have just announced a series of September dates supporting
Animal Collective on tour. Whilst we’ve added new performances from TERRY, Dan Hayhurst (of Sculpture), Lads,
Sidney, Sook, Catenary Wires and LC Pumpkin to our upcoming shows
program, check that out at the very end of this dispatch.

RATTLE are a Nottingham based duo, Rattle
focus almost exclusively on drums and more drums, beneath a delicate overlay of
vocal harmonies and percussive effects. Formed by Katharine Eira Brown (also of
Kogumaza) and Theresa Wrigley (also of Fists), Rattle began as an experiment in
crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves
and intertwines post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter
rhythms, patterns and counter melodies. Often starting by picking out the ghost
notes from the drums to develop a melody, the song then reveals itself in
rounds and harmonies with layer upon layer of rhythm and vocal, lending a
choral feel to some of the tracks. Rattle effortlessly blend the avant-garde
with irresistible melodies and hypnotic drum beats, using rhythm and harmony to
create a refreshing sound that is utterly new - a pretty rare feat these days
when we’re saturated with so much music. Their live performances are at once
hypnotic, monastic and danceable, having entranced audiences at Supersonic
Festival, Dot to Dot, throughout the UK during a recent tour with Witching
Waves and in Europe with Zea (Arnold de Boer from The Ex). Rattle’s debut
self-titled album will be released on Upset The Rhythm and I Own You on August
5th, this show celebrates their London record launch!

CHARLES HAYWARD is an English drummer and songwriting
singer, known primarily as a founding member of the experimental rock group
This Heat and avant-pop unit Camberwell Now. He also played with Mal Dean's
Amazing Band, Radar Favourites, Dolphin Logic, and gigged and recorded with old
schoolfriend and "Pooh and the Ostrich Feather" member Phil Manzanera
in the group Quiet Sun project as well as a short stint with Gong. He was a
session musician on The Raincoats' second album, Odyshape, and on one occasion
played drums for the anarchist punk band Crass. For this show Charles will be
performing two pieces for percussion including ‘Bell Agency’ and ‘30 Minute
Snare Drum Roll’.

EX-EASTER ISLAND HEAD will also perform in solo mode with
Benjamin D. Duvall presenting a mesmeric new work for prepared guitars and FM
radios, tuning into the furthermost territories of the groups' unique
vocabulary in pursuit of resonances sympathetic or otherwise. Ex-Easter Island
Head's new LP, ‘Twenty-Two Strings’ is released August 5th by Low Point
records.
