Hello GoodBye Show 29 October 2011: Upset the Rhythm and Eternal Tapestry

Today we focus our attention on the record label Upset the Rhythm, with featured live sessions from Way Through & Vice Cooler.

Upset the Rhythm began to promote live concerts in London in 2004 and has consequently helped to transform a once a sterile and uninspiring music scene, into the thriving and truly innovative platform that we are able to behold today. UtR has since metamorphosed into an equally seminal record label and continues to lend its unwavering support to a massive groundswell of like minded and groundbreaking international artists.

Plus, a live set and interview with Eternal Tapestry (recorded this week at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle)

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Eternal Tapestry make music which is loosely structured, densely layered and spontaneously composed. Massively prolific, they have released two LPs on Thrill Jockey this year alone, Beyond the 4th Door and Night Gallery, a collaboration with Sun Araw, which was improvised for a radio session at this year’s South By South West festival. And that’s not to mention two self-released tour cassettes.

Hello GoodBye Show 22 October 2011: Band of Holy Joy, Agathe Max and Trees & the Slipway

The Hello GoodBye Show enjoys a little inter-station, cross pollination this afternoon, with Mining For Gold host Johny Brown experiencing life from the other side of the control desk, performing live in session with his folk-punk outfit Band Of Holy Joy.

Also, making their live radio debut we have the psych-pop trio Trees & the Slipway. Plus a live gig recording from Agathe Max.

Band Of Holy Joy are fronted by Johny Brown and have been going – on and off – for nigh on 30 years now. They play punk infused folk music, the current (and rather scintilating) results of which, can soon be heard on their forthcoming album ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ (released on Exotic Pylon Records on 28th October)

Plus, refracted through the psychedelic environs of Tamworth and Liverpool, then heading down to London when right and ready, the trio of Matthew Lees (Vocals, keyboard and guitar), Joss Cope (Vocals and bass) and Stephen Wood (Vocals, guitar) formed TREES AND THE SLIPWAY. They play guitar/Casio comedown anthems for the dispossessed, Kraut-y stompers for the still-flying, and in between, songs about mad kings and more earth(l)y things… all shot through with the outsider micro-cubed raga-pop sensibility that you will come to know and love…

Violinist Agathe Max uses loops and distortion to create densely layered ambient music which is at one moment delicate and orchestral, and the next visceral abstract noise. Agathe was in the UK from her native Lyon for two shows recently and on today’s show we bring you a live recording from her performance at XOYO.
