Hello there!

you!

Our next Upset The Rhythm event will take place this Monday at The Lexington with an exceptional dual headline show from Jamie Stewart and Eric Chenaux. Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu
will be interpreting his songs in intimate solo mode, upping the drama
and the vulnerability, which promises to be as intense as it will be
exultant. Whilst, Eric Chenaux is set to perform a suite of songs off
the back of his stunning new album ‘Slowly Paradise’ (Constellation).
Expect some serious frazzled fretwork and softly sung vocals, making for
a masterful take on sculptural sound, warped jazz and free balladry.
This is going to be extraordinary! Tickets will be £12 on the door from
7.30pm, with live music beginning from 8.15pm. Read on for everything
and more...

This week we also confirmed an exciting new concert for June featuring Yoshimio (Boredoms, OOIOO), Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Lichens, Om) and the astonishing percussionist Susie Ibarra. Doubling up on drums, vocals and electronics as Yunohana Variations, June 26th
will mark their London debut performance. Tickets are now on sale for
this event (check out our upcoming programme below), well worth getting
some in advance as this promises to be very special indeed.

Upset The Rhythm presents…
JAMIE STEWART (Xiu Xiu)
ERIC CHENAUX
Monday 9 April
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB
JAMIE STEWART has spent 2017
showing how skilled he is at multi-tasking, having toured the most
recent Xiu Xiu album 'Forever', piled on the sonic pressure with
Lawrence English as HEXA and having paid final homage to The Music Of
Twin Peaks. 2018 sees that all change with Jamie committing to some rare
solo performances. The format is simple: Jamie, electric guitar and
voice, reducing the Xiu Xiu songs you know and love down to their most
fragile husk state. As the principle songwriter, musician and vocalist
behind avant-pop legends Xiu Xiu, Jamie Stewart is very much one of
UTR's favourite artists. Jamie draws heavily from wildly disparate
sources - cacophonous noise, gamelan, folk and the lush hooks of 80s UK
post-punk, to name a few - while his tortured lyrics and anguished
delivery consistently deal with the morose, suspected and the taboo.
Expect new material, unusual covers and favourite tracks from the Xiu
Xiu back catalogue, making for a truly memorable experience.
ERIC CHENAUX is an
adventurous guitarist, singer and composer based in Paris. Having been
an active player in Toronto experimental music circles with a host of
group and collaborative works, Chenaux has more recently amassed a body
of solo work across five albums on the Constellation label, centering
around his dextrous, fried guitar playing as juxtaposed with a
gorgeously lyrical vocal style. An ingenious recombinant use of
traditional folk, psychedelic pop and consort music in earlier albums
has over time evolved into a wholly uncategorisable form of balladry,
shot through with a singular vernacular of guitar improvisation.
