About this Event

UPSET THE RHYTHM PRESENT: SHOPPING

WITH SUPPORT FROM:

SCRAP BRAIN // SQUEAKEASY // MOLAR



SHOPPING

are propulsive bass lines, primitive disco-not-disco drums and guitar lines sharp as broken glass. The band was formed in 2012 by members Rachel Aggs (guitar), Billy Easter (bass) and Andrew Milk (drums), who've all done time in a plethora of notable UK DIY bands including Trash Kit and Wet Dog. They pull from a well of 70's post-punk with a voraciousness seldom seen these days, bringing to mind the jagged aggression of Gang of Four, the voracious yelp of The Slits and the dance inducing thrust of Delta 5 . Their debut LP Consumer Complaints was released November 2013 in the UK via MILK records and quickly sold out its first pressing. A US re-issue of Consumer Complaints came out last year via Fat Cat records, followed up by their excellent second album ‘Why Choose?’ The band are tirelessly committed to taking their sound to new audiences and spreading the Shopping gospel, securing impressive gigs along the way including main support for ESG and Gang Of Four as well as a BBC 6 Music session for Marc Riley.

SCRAP BRAIN

play primitive hardcore punk, kind of almost whacked-out Flipper style with a real noisy/no wave dissonant tone. The lyrics are fantastically sarcastic and barbed, a particular favourite being the couplet "M'lady me, I'll murder you", which may provoke a smirk or wry smile, but is absolutely not a joke. Their demo tape is available through all good stockists of unhappy hardcore and also via pay-what-you-want download here: https://scrapbrainhc.bandcamp.com/album/demo



SQUEAKEASY

play sexy tutti frutti jams from the town that brought you the Magna Carta. The songs are dense and have lots of words and different bits in them so are good if you have a short attention span. Sounds

a bit like Sonic 2 and Earthbound with more squeaking.

Their debut album is out now on Crumb Cabin, check it!

MOLAR

are an incredible all grrrl punk band that sound like No Ditching and Bratmobile and PUNXXX. Based in London but from all over the world, they have a demo tape and a split 7” with Pale Kids available to listen to now! https://molartheband.bandcamp.com/
