Bill Orcutt & Chris Corsano Duo, Rattle 
Upset The Rhythm presents 
When: 17/03/2018 07:30 pm
Location: Upstairs

Price: £adv £12
Ticket Link: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/426645 
CHRIS CORSANO and BILL ORCUTT have spent the last five years flaying eardrums and blowing minds worldwide with a wildly polyrhythmic, high-register wail that splits the difference between rock, noise and jazz. As a co-founder of free-punk demolition crew Harry Pussy, Orcutt inspired entire genres of noise rock, and a decade after Harry Pussy’s demise, re-emerged as a solo performer, creating a singular guitar lexicon suited for both discursive improvisation and cracked reinvention of the American songbook. Chris Corsano is the rim-batterer of choice for some of the heaviest contemporary purveyors of both jazz (Evan Parker, Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee) and rock (Bjork, Sir Richard Bishop, Jim O’Rourke), and is a formidable solo performer in his own right. When playing as a duo their avant drum-and-guitar improvisations provide the illusion of chaos. The longer you listen however to the onslaught of drum rolls and pock-marked notes, the more the communication (and, what’s more, control) become abundantly clear. Their explosive mayhem has been documented on Orcutt’s Palilalia label over the course of several live releases, most recently on the double LP “Live at Various/Various Live”. Their first ever studio recording is scheduled for release later this year.
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. Rattle’s debut self-titled album will be released on Upset The Rhythm and I Own You, look out this Summer for it’s follow up.

Don Gallardo and Friends ‘Still Here tour of 2018 
Don returns to the UK in support of his new acclaimed album ‘Still Here’
Don was raised in a small town in Northern California, where he spent years building his songwriting career on the west coast before relocating to Nashville in 2008. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, he walks the line between folk, Americana and roots-rock, mining the influence of classic 1970s singer-songwriters while creating a sound that nods to the past while still pushing ahead toward something new.
With four full-length albums, a live acoustic release, and an EP under his belt, Gallardo has earned a broad audience on both sides of the Atlantic. A road warrior who frequently tours the U.K., he’s also earned high marks from outlets like Rolling Stone (who calls Gallardo a singer-songwriter that is one of country and Americana’s true journeyman), AmericanaUK, and The Nashville Scene, the latter of which described his music as “country-rock with brains, charm and experimental impulses that are perfectly integrated into a familiar context.” No Depression offered similar praise, calling Gallardo a “rare gem” whose work is “highly recommended to fans of great songwriters.”
Support from Katy Hurt

Here’s a couple of questions that I can remember – What was Bob Marley’s middle name? Nesta (we got that one)
What was the name of Tele Sevales’ big hit in the 70s? If (we didn’t get that one). In the picture round there was a picture of two toilets as a cryptic clue to an artist – who was it? Lulu, of course (got that one too). Lots of fun … and the host is quite the wit.” – “I ♥ MUSIQUE

Eera 
Communion presents 
When: 21/03/2018 07:30 pm

Price: £adv £8.50
Ticket Link: https://Tickets.lnk.to/EERA
“Eera, the moniker of the Norwegian-born, London-based musician Anna Lena Bruland, releases her debut album Reflection Of Youth via Big Dada. Reflection Of Youth – which was recorded in a studio on a working dairy farm deep in the wilds of West Wales as well as in the producer’s home studio in Cork, Ireland – is an album of visceral beauty and blistering honesty. It is a brave, candid and uncompromising record about finding purpose from confusion and strength in your weaknesses. It’s about learning how to work through your problems and take charge of your own life, instead of relying on others to do it for you. Its ten songs were largely composed in the small hours of the night and are arguably best experienced in that context, when soul-searching and introspection come naturally. For Anna Lena, the album is a document of a tumultuous chapter in her life. It’s very much about living through your twenties, which in Norwegian society are “the years when you’re supposed to figure everything out.” For fans of PJ Harvey, The Kills, Portishead and sultry downbeat pop.” Rough Trade

Having recently signed to Brownswood Recordings, announced via new track, I’ll Be On Your Mind, Skinny Pelembe lines up his first single proper for the London imprint. Spit / Swallow spans pastoral pop, psychedelic textures and hip-hop-tipped, chopped and spliced guitar, interlacings samples with rolling drum breaks and echoed falsettos. B-side Toy Shooter follows in similar fashion, bridging psych-rock exaltation with beat-head, synth-jamming production.
Born in Johannesburg and raised in Doncaster, Skinny Pelembe is based in London. I’ll Be On Your Mind has been receiving radio support from Lauren Laverne on 6 Music, Huw Stevens on Radio 1, Jamz Supernova on 1xtra and Tom Ravenscroft on 6 Music, with previous single Seven Year Curse picking up airplay on Benji B on Radio 1 and Gilles Peterson on 6 Music.
Peterson has shepherded his rise, first through his Future Bubblers programme for new artists, followed by his inclusion on legendary compilation series Brownswood Bubblers. He’s been profiled by Pigeons & Planes and Clash, and Seven Year Curse was supported in record shops like Rough Trade, Sounds of the Universe, Phonica and Sister Ray.
Experience it live. Best events, zero hassle. Press play, book now, checkout, it’s that easy.

“A master of the mic, proving to be a major force in the UK urban scene”- GigSlutz
AFRIKAN BOY aka Captain Afrika the godfather of Afro-Grime at the prime age of 28 announces his first London headline show for 2018. On his continual rise in the UK music scene, this fusion MC / rap artist, first came to our attention nearly a decade ago with his catchy, clever song “Lidl”
No one does it like AB does fun, energetic electro beat over bass-heavy sounds of urban London and his accustom English Pidgin rhythmic delivery of which he was ridiculed for years ago and has now become an accepted crossover recipe for new wave of Afrobeats artist.
Expect AFRIKAN BOY to belt out “Y.A.M” and “LIDL” either side of “Who stole your visa”, “Mr Kunta Kinte” and new tracks from the brilliant forthcoming album “Life in The West” due to be released in 2018.
Warning: This will be a sell out show you are hereby strongly advised to buy your tickets now to avoid disappointment.

Iris Gold [DEN]
Having released her inspirational track ‘All I Really Know’ last year to critical acclaim, Iris kick starts the New Year with a powerful, emotive 5 track EP ‘Iris Gold The Interlude’ produced by fêted London production duo The Confect.
Iris explains of the video: “’The Fruits’ track was heavily inspired by the scene where Eddie Murphy meets Imani Izzi in the movie ‘Coming to America’ in the marriage ceremony. A lot of tribal Fela Kuti was blasted whilst the track was being created. The video was made with my aunty Toniah Pedersen and Issam Talib. It features my homeboys Ricco and Bobbi, busting some sensual moves for the ladies and gents.”
>> Watch ‘The Fruits’ HERE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGZ62B18V34
Auður [ICE]
Following in the footsteps of Of Monsters and Men, Sigur Rós and Kaleo, 24 year old singer/producer Auður was awarded best Newcomer at the Icelandic Music awards in 2017. Since then he has released his debut EP, opened for Post Malone and become part of the respected RBMA alumni.
Auðunn Lúthersson cut his teeth playing with Icelandic hardcore and noise-rock bands. After seeing James Blake at Sónar in 2013, he reinvented himself under the pseudonym AUÐUR (pronounced “Author”), switched over to electronic music and dropped his debut album, Alone, at the beginning of February. Alone is a slick and sensual take on R&B and explores the themes of isolation and longing. During Iceland Airwaves 2016 AUÐUR offered festival-goers an exclusive pre-listen to the album in Pokémon GO style at a downtown square in Reykjavík. Over 4000 people hunted it down via their mobiles. No stranger to doing things his way, AUÐUR later filmed a visual version of the album in one take in a secluded room at an abandoned power plant on the outskirts of Reykjavík. The results were premiered and screened live from Harpa, the city’s world famous concert hall, and ran in a continuous loop for 24 hours to mark the beginning and end of Groundhog Day.

Cats of Transnistria [FIN]
Cats of Transnistria are the Helsinki based trio of Tuomas Alatalo, Henna Emilia Hietamäki and Sanna Komi. They create slow and hypnotic music, filled with both experimental noise and lots of sensitivity and softness. 
Cats of Transnistria have just released their second album Opium – the album was recorded and mixed by guitarist and sound designer Tuomas Alatalo. Being in total control of the recording process is a further step for the band in widening the soundscapes and being even more specific to the world Cats of Transnistria are creating. In addition to Hietamäki and Alatalo – recent new member, the violinist Sanna Komi – is featured on the album, adding profound beauty through her string arrangements.

The Lexington Pop Quiz with quizmaster Paul Guided Missile 
with top of the pops quizmaster Paul Guided Missile
When: 02/04/2018 08:00 pm
Location: Downstairs
The all-new but very familiar quiz! Now called The Lexington Pop Quiz. Still hosted by Paul Guided Missile. Now £2 entry person. Now with top prize of £60, second prize round of drinks, multi-pack of crisps for best team name.
Name that tune, identify the popstar, answer the headfuck question, spot the intro – multiple rounds of pop-related trivia questions presented by exceedingly entertaining quizmaster Paul Guided Missile. Book tables at 7pm (or earlier) for up to six players per team. Email info@thelexington.co.uk to book (no charge apart from the £2 per person quiz charge…)
“The best pop quiz in town” – Pub Quizzers
“It’s far from serious stuff as the potty-mouthed quizmaster guides you through some pretty silly rounds, including one based on Bob Holness’s ‘Blockbusters’. A multipack of crisps goes to the team with the best name, as judged by a ‘clapometer’.! – Time Out ‘London’s Ten Best Pub Quizzes’.
“Die-hard musos will love The Lexington’s effort, in conjunction with Rough Trade Records, with rounds such as Badly Drawing Boy, in which teams guess the LP sleeve from a kiddy’s scrawl.” – British Airways” High Life magazine.
“I was really expecting it to be damn tough, but it was definitely accessible to all levels of music knowledge (the first question was to name just onemember of JLS – no, we didn’t get it)……….
Here’s a couple of questions that I can remember – What was Bob Marley’s middle name? Nesta (we got that one)
What was the name of Tele Sevales’ big hit in the 70s? If (we didn’t get that one). In the picture round there was a picture of two toilets as a cryptic clue to an artist – who was it? Lulu, of course (got that one too). Lots of fun … and the host is quite the wit.” – “I ♥ MUSIQUE
“Paul is a London legend” – Billy Reeves, BBC London 94.9
“This one is big. Really big… ” – Qype
“Quizmaster Paul is halfway through a bravura performance of Bat Out Of Hell on his Bontempi keyboard. I look around and a good 60 per cent of the assembled audience is literally weeping with laughter. This is without doubt the best pub quiz of all time” – Jude Georges, ‘Twee’ fanzine
“Some Northern bloke hosts it and for one round plays pop hits on a Bontempi organ.. everyone laughs their heads of when they realise the plinky plonk bossanova tune he’s playing is actually Anarchy In the UK or something, then he looks up completely straight faced and says ‘OK, so 2 points if you can guess that one.’ Haha…” –

Price: £adv £30
Ticket Link: http://www.seetickets.com/event/sun-ra-arkestra/the-lexington/1199260
A big Dictionary Pudding welcome to one of the greatest big bands of all time – The Sun Ra Arkestra. 
Operating under the direction of saxophonist Marshall Allen, the Arkestra remain possibly the greatest live musical experience on planet earth [sic]
With such a massive, joyous songbook and the kind of well organised chaos that sees their legendary 3 hour sets move deftly between rolling grooves, sing-along chants and atonal blasts of mischievous brass, the Arkestra remain one of the most unmissable live acts today.
“By the time that the show winds to a close, the audience joining in call-and-response style, The Arkestra snaking through the audience in their traditional procession, honking, clapping, chanting and leading the way along the path that leads to the stars, the roof has lifted off Oto. During the band’s first decade, in response to a criticism that Sun Ra was “too far out”, that other legend of the piano, Thelonious Monk, famously replied, “Yeah, but it swings.” Even a half century later, how right he was.” – David Solomons, Freq, review of the Sun Ra Arkestra at Cafe OTO, 2013.

GIUDA 
GIUDA – ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MUSIC
New single (vinyl/digital) and video out 30th March on the London-based label Rise Above. A two-day launch party for the release will take place in London at the Lexington with gigs on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th April.
Recorded live to ensure the harnessing of the solid power of their on-stage performance, here is the aptly-named new Giuda single: “Rock ‘n’ Roll Music”.
Stronger, tighter, rougher and darker than ever, but still never losing sight of that ultimate killer hook.
Insistent riffs, loud handclaps and sing-a-long refrains are omnipresent but the band sound has evolved yet again, pushing forever harder against the ever-shifting boundaries of Giuda’s World.
A video for “Rock ‘n’ Roll Music” shot on 35mm tape and directed by Nicola Piovesan will accompany the release.
Prepare to sing a new hymn, Giuda are back!
Out 30th March on Rise Above Records
CYANIDE PILLS
The Leeds five-piece consists of Phil Privilege (Shouting), Alex A (Twanging), Sy Pinkeye (Strumming), Chris Wrist (Banging), Alarick ‘The Trick’ (Rumble).
Think of The Boys, Buzzcocks, The Ramones, The Dickies, Clash, Vapors, Radio Stars, Nosebleeds etc and you won’t be far wrong – this is kick-ass, Punk Rock, New Wave, Power Pop 
“fresh helpings of pop-flavoured (Buzzcocks not Blink) ditties that’ll lodge themselves in your front lobe and prove difficult to budge…Superbly refreshing” – Rock Sound Aug ’10
“A spike-domed, pogo-pop sugar rush” – Big Cheese
”Cyanide Pills kick out a spirited Brit-punk rave-up like nobody’s business” – Vive Le Rock
ULYSSES
Bath’s rock upstarts Ulysses deliver quirky pop delights and to die for big riffs with what is fast becoming Ulysses’ own distinct sound – a nether land between psych, glam and rock, guitar stroking and pop sheen.
Having toured with Rival Sons, Purson and members of The Black Crowes, and with new 2016 album ‘Law And Order’ made with producer Steve Evans (Robert Plant / Siouxsie / Goldfrapp), it seems that Ulysses have unknowingly brought their cheeky influences (Syd Barrett, psych-era Stones, The Cars, Thin Lizzy, Hot Chocolate, Supergrass, Sailor, Alvin Stardust and Paul McCartney & Wings) to the heart of the new rock elite.

3: Aidan Sin – the boy with that hair. The man with that style. The back beat of The Computers and any descent music you have heard of late.

St Agnes – ‘A stomping, snarling piece of psych-rock, there’s an electricity running through the track, and indefinable chemistry which draws on the spirit of Jim Morrison’ – Clash Magazine
Sister Witch – A daemon baby doll Bonnie Parker, dragging her feet back home after an all night bender in Zelda Sayres skin. Lungs full of laudanum, lovelorn, lost.
Dolly Haze broken vocals, accompanied by restless drumbeats and guitars that roll their eyes at the attempt of vengeance. Alongside a quiet but calculating Warhol cult leader.
Psyence – ‘“The drums sound like Can’s ‘Vitamin C’ as the guitars play a frantic game of snakes and ladders through the kaleidoscopic soundscapes.” The NME
“Psyence are now ready to show the world what they’ve got, in their case face melting 60s rock that sounds like Wooden Shjips drowning in a thick, molten vat of acidic organs and churning riffs. The aptly titled Chemicals For Breakfast means your cornflakes will never taste the same again.” Q’

Upset The Rhythm presents 
When: 09/04/2018 07:30 pm
Location: Upstairs

Price: £adv £12
Ticket Link: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/425102
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.
www.xiuxiu.org
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.

What was the name of Tele Sevales’ big hit in the 70s? If (we didn’t get that one). In the picture round there was a picture of two toilets as a cryptic clue to an artist – who was it? Lulu, of course (got that one too). Lots of fun … and the host is quite the wit.” – “I ♥ MUSIQUE

“Some Northern bloke hosts it and for one round plays pop hits on a Bontempi organ.. everyone laughs their heads of when they realise the plinky plonk bossanova tune he’s playing is actually Anarchy In the UK or something, then he looks up completely straight faced and says ‘OK, so 2 points if you can guess that one.’ Haha…” –

Hailing from Saskatoon, three-time JUNO awarding winning artists THE SHEEPDOGS’ burst onto the international scene after beating out thousands of artists in 2011 to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. Since then, The Sheepdogs have amassed six JUNO nominations, toured worldwide and earned Platinum certification for their 2010 LP Learn and Burn.
The Sheepdogs’ latest self-titled LP produced by Patrick Carney (The Black Keys) debuted at #1 on the Top 200 SoundScan Chart, garnering another GOLD record for the band.
“Our goal is two-fold,” Currie says. “We want to make killer albums that people really want to listen to, but we also want to have a really reputable live show. When we come through town we want to be the hottest ticket there. Those two elements are what make a truly great rock and roll band. Really, though, we just want to play to anyone who is willing to give us a shot and who wants to have a good time.”

Mogli, Tuvaband 
Bird on The Wire presents 
When: 12/04/2018 07:30 pm
Location: Upstairs

Price: £adv £8, sold out
Ticket Link: http://birdonthewire.seetickets.com/go/moglithelexington 
Mogli loves life and everything about it. She spends nearly all of her time singing or traveling – preferably both.
In 2016 the 23-year old singer embarked on her biggest adventure yet: Expedition Happiness. Together with her partner and film-maker Felix Starck she converted a 40 foot school bus into a loft on wheels and traveled through North America for one year.
On glaciers in Alaska and in the jungle of Mexico, on mountain peaks and in the desert, Mogli found inspiration for her second album Wanderer. Having her piano and guitar on board made it possible to write songs literally in the middle of nowhere.
The result is haunting. Some songs incorporate the epic vastness and depth of nature while others are like a window to her inner self. You can feel she was deeply affected by the beauty of earth and how the grand scale of environments moved her to reflect on herself and her life.
Her melancholic songs are often arranged with bold drums, timbal sounds and choirs, but her folky melodies sometimes only need a Grand Piano. The production captures the intensity of a live recording and adds electronic aspects in the right moments making Wanderer a high quality modern album while keeping it raw.
With a voice that is delicate in one and intense in the next moment Mogli takes you to far away places. The spheric first single ‘Alaska’ draws you in from the first second and doesn’t let you go. It is the title song to the movie Expedition Happiness – the new documentary opening in German cinema in May with the international cinema release following later this year. The young couple filmed, produced, directed and distributed every minute of it.
Wanderer, Mogli’s new album was released on the 5th of May without a label following the tradition of self made success. Naturally is is also the soundtrack to the movie.

‘A series of striking, stylized singles and a moody, gripping debut album (Songs From The Bar Room Floor) connected the dots between the Vox organ veneration of the ’60s and the modern noirs of Tindersticks and Nick Cave, creating a darkened stage for a flurry of soulful sounds that might be called garage if their creases weren’t so sharp.’

North Sea Radio Orchestra, Valve 
When: 15/04/2018 04:00 pm

Price: £adv £11
Ticket Link: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/433518
In the October of 2002, composer and guitarist Craig Fortnam found himself walking through the City of London with a sackful of tunes slung over his shoulder; tied to a stick (Dick Whittington style). Now, as all music comes from the air, the sack was all that stopped Craig’s tunes from escaping and following the Thames out to sea. Needing a substance with the weight of history behind it, Craig bent down and began to scoop up handfuls of London clay, folding and kneading it into the melodies and chords from his sack. As this was such hard work, he got his wife, Sharron, to help. As she folded and kneaded, she began to sing, so her beautiful voice found it’s way into the expanding mixture.
When the music was almost ready, Craig called together twenty musicians and singers from all over the Great Metropolis and they all ducked into St. Martin’s-within-Ludgate where the North Sea Radio Orchestra was born. As the clay music was still wet, and therefore somewhat fragile, NSRO only performed in the City of London for the first while. So, their growing audience had to travel to the strange and magical streets of old Londinium to hear the beautiful sounds.
Eventually NSRO ventured forth into the wider world where they have attracted many glowing reviews for their live and recorded performances.
They like to play in churches like St Olaves Hart St or St Giles in the Fields. They enjoy the resonant acoustics and the lack of amplification. Art galleries suit them fine too, like the Fishmarket in Northampton or Whitechapel Art Gallery in East London. They like to play at around five o’ clock at festivals like The Green Man, Frome Festival or the City of London Festival. They enjoy performing in rock venues and opera houses with amplification or classical stages like the Purcell Room. Likewise they are not adverse to performing live for BBC6 Music or Radio2. If you ask them they’ll probably play just for you. 
They have released four albums for your pleasure and are already working on a fifth.
VÄLVĒ is the outlet for composer/performer Chlöe Herington’s compositional work using text and image as the starting point for scores. She collects sounds and diagrams, composing predominantly for bassoon, saxes, electronics and found sounds to explore synaesthetic memory and collective experience.
The band has been morphing – from what originated as a solo project, performing mainly in art galleries, it grew to include Elen Evans on harp. After moving from from galleries back into music venues, they were recently joined by Chlöe’s Chrome Hoof comrade, Emma Sullivan on bass, microkorg and vocals. VÄLVĒ are now three! Live, the music traverses the realms of noise and improv into songs, punctuated with found sounds and eases into spacy soundscapes.

“mighty impressive” (Chris Hawkins, BBC6)
‘Best Unsigned Artist 2017’ (Shoreditch Radio)
Roxanne de Bastion sings deep and delicate songs that dance between left-of-the-middle pop and 60’s inspired rock. Her 2017 release ‘Heirlooms & Hearsay’ made the UK independent music scene take note: from BB6, to Clash, FATEA and R2 Magazine, the nation is falling in love with the London / Berlin artist, who delivers sharp social commentary with a pure and instantly recognisable voice. Over the past 18 months, de Bastion has opened for the Wainwright Sisters, Thea Gilmore & Lambchop, toured in the US and has graced Glastonbury’s Acoustic stage and Cambridge Folk Festival’s stage 2. The Lexington show will be a full band performance, featuring songs off her album as well as new material.

Bird On The Wire presents 
When: 17/04/2018 07:30 pm

Price: £adv £7
Ticket Link: http://birdonthewire.seetickets.com/go/clubkuruthelexington 
Club Kuru are a British five-piece alt-psych-band, fronted by Laurie Erskine and Laurence Hammerton. Following last year’s widely acclaimed EP and single releases, which saw them secure notable support from BBC 6Music and Radio 1 they are now readying the release of their debut LP; Giving In. 
The band share eclectic inspiration from classic greats such as Shuggie Otis, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones. And you will often hear Steely Dan and The Beach Boys humming from within their studio walls. They use and have studied recording techniques from a bygone era, solely using analogue synthesisers and equipment. With musical roots firmly in the jazz and soul traditions they have built a richly textured, flowing, contemporary sound. Their music is characterised by its jerky grooves, mellow, silky vocals and harmonically complex song writing. 
Themes of lost love and broken dreams sit gently against a soft, summer backdrop. Ultimately, the sound is unique – it is the product of the band’s bare hands, put together in the space they worked tirelessly to perfect.
Giving In will be released on 23rd March via Absolute.

Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra 
Green Note presents 
When: 30/04/2018 08:00 pm
Location: Upstairs

Price: £adv £13.50
Ticket Link: http://www.greennote.co.uk/production/marty-oreilly-the-old-soul-orchestra/
Explaining Marty O’Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra’s music is like describing a remembered dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time it feels new. It’s blues but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul.
Marty’s voice is beautiful and distinctive,his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar. Chris Lynch’s violin, Matt Goff’s percussion and Ben Berry’s rich bass meld beautifully. The chemistry of these friends is obvious. But one can also hear an urgency in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain.
The live performance is at the core of this project: the band enters a trance and the music is born again as something new every night. They go from raw gospel blues to cinematic epics, from heavy driving grooves to delicately arranged folk songs. They leave the stage out of breath, the ground littered with broken strings and bow hairs. It’s hard to describe, impossible to categorize. Yet people who know the music will try to explain it to you, just as you might struggle to explain a dream in the morning. The visions might slip away as you recount them, but the feeling remains.
The band formed in Santa Cruz California in 2012 and has been touring relentlessly ever since, from San Francisco to New Orleans to London to Seattle. They invite you to join them.
“A band true to its name: soulful” – NPR
“Delightful… well crafted music” – SF Weekly
“Raw musical excellence… guitar, fiddle and double bass played to within an inch of their inanimate lives.” – 4000 Miles to Nashville
“Definitely on the top of the Americana list penned by any serious connoisseur of roots music this year.” – Portland Tribune
Support from MICHELE STODART
Over a decade since The Magic Numbers landed in the top ten with their double-platinum-selling debut album, Michele Stodart has taken temporary leave of the band she formed with her brother Romeo, to release her second solo album ‘Pieces’.
Released four years after her solo debut, ‘Wide-Eyed Crossing’, the nine songs that comprise ‘Pieces’ confirm that, almost by stealth, Michele has turned into an artist in her own right.
The bedrock of Michele’s writing is a reliance on rock-solid melodies that always stop short of outstaying their welcome. Keen to ensure that the tunes earned their place on the record, Michele wrote most of the songs on ‘Pieces’ away from her guitar – only setting them to chord sequences when they refused to leave her head.
“Steeped in languid melancholy… [it] sits in a rich tradition that encompasses such touchstone female performers as Karen Dalton, Judee Sill… Emmylou Harris, Allison Moorer or Gillian Welch… ‘Pieces’ may just be the most impressive record she’s ever made” – 8/10 – Uncut
“…instantly engaging and evocative melodies and sung with an open and honest conviction that reflects the experiences that inform her words… Stodart’s album is a thing of perfection” – Folk Radio UK

The Lexington Pop Quiz with quizmaster Paul Guided Missile 
with top of the pops quizmaster Paul Guided Missile
When: 30/04/2018 08:00 pm
Location: Downstairs
The all-new but very familiar quiz! Now called The Lexington Pop Quiz. Still hosted by Paul Guided Missile. Now £2 entry person. Now with top prize of £60, second prize round of drinks, multi-pack of crisps for best team name.
Name that tune, identify the popstar, answer the headfuck question, spot the intro – multiple rounds of pop-related trivia questions presented by exceedingly entertaining quizmaster Paul Guided Missile. Book tables at 7pm (or earlier) for up to six players per team. Email info@thelexington.co.uk to book (no charge apart from the £2 per person quiz charge…)
“The best pop quiz in town” – Pub Quizzers
“It’s far from serious stuff as the potty-mouthed quizmaster guides you through some pretty silly rounds, including one based on Bob Holness’s ‘Blockbusters’. A multipack of crisps goes to the team with the best name, as judged by a ‘clapometer’.! – Time Out ‘London’s Ten Best Pub Quizzes’.
“Die-hard musos will love The Lexington’s effort, in conjunction with Rough Trade Records, with rounds such as Badly Drawing Boy, in which teams guess the LP sleeve from a kiddy’s scrawl.” – British Airways” High Life magazine.
“I was really expecting it to be damn tough, but it was definitely accessible to all levels of music knowledge (the first question was to name just onemember of JLS – no, we didn’t get it)……….
Here’s a couple of questions that I can remember – What was Bob Marley’s middle name? Nesta (we got that one)
What was the name of Tele Sevales’ big hit in the 70s? If (we didn’t get that one). In the picture round there was a picture of two toilets as a cryptic clue to an artist – who was it? Lulu, of course (got that one too). Lots of fun … and the host is quite the wit.” – “I ♥ MUSIQUE
“Paul is a London legend” – Billy Reeves, BBC London 94.9
“This one is big. Really big… ” – Qype
“Quizmaster Paul is halfway through a bravura performance of Bat Out Of Hell on his Bontempi keyboard. I look around and a good 60 per cent of the assembled audience is literally weeping with laughter. This is without doubt the best pub quiz of all time” – Jude Georges, ‘Twee’ fanzine
“Some Northern bloke hosts it and for one round plays pop hits on a Bontempi organ.. everyone laughs their heads of when they realise the plinky plonk bossanova tune he’s playing is actually Anarchy In the UK or something, then he looks up completely straight faced and says ‘OK, so 2 points if you can guess that one.’ Haha…” –

SLUG
HIGGLEDYPIGGLEDY
Label Memphis Industries
Release date 13 April 2018
“Black ramps up the funk on groove-driven art pop gems” UNCUT
“Combines Led Zep riffing, squelchy funk and a sprinkling of Odelay-era Beck” The Times
SLUG the nom de plume of North East merrymaker Ian Black, returns with new album HiggledyPiggledy on 13 April 2018 via Memphis Industries.
Whereas previous album RIPE was made in collaboration with Peter and David Brewis of Field Music, HiggledyPiggledy was composed, produced and played entirely by Black enabling him to give free reign to his beguiling brand of Dada-rock.
Black taught himself how to produce while making HiggledyPiggeldy, by all accounts a terrifying process that drove Black to the edge of sanity. To function he imagined himself variously as Lindsey Buckingham making Tusk, Eno producing Another Green World and Tod Rundgren laying down A Wizard A True Star.  In so doing Black was able to keep an equilibrium and make the record making experience experimental and spontaneous.
The album was inspired by a combination of The Residents, John Carpenter and the soundtracks of Don Cherry (particularly Holy Mountain) and Masahiko Sato (particularly Belladonna) plus the Dada art movement which will be self evident to anyone who’s seen the hilarious and life affirming SLUG live experience, replete with ever changing stage wear (snooker players, sailors, 50s jazz combo) and spontaneous crowd participation.
Black intended HiggledyPiggledy to be a more minimal affair than previous album RIPE, focussed more on rhythm and percussion. Thematically the record was written against the backdrop of political turmoil but really it’s about the strange life Black leads in his native Sunderland, an autodidact outsider living his life in Wetherspoons arguing with some of the questionable attitudes of locals. Blacks stated aim to “have fun writing truly horrible lyrics”, playing characters “venting in pubs, writing in the character of how some people think and behave”.
HiggledyPiggledy begins with first single ‘No Heavy Petting’ (the title taken from the dos and don’ts at Blacks local swimming pool), consciously written to be an aggressive album opener with and which pokes fun at Blacks own Mary Whitehouseish response to the sexualisation of TV. ‘Lackadaisical Love’ is another album highlight, one big 4/4 drum beat, fuzzy guitars like Maggot Brain-era Funkadelic, steel drums and fat moog bass. “A song about sex funnily enough” says Black. Other noteworthy songs include “Dolly Dimple”, a song about the pornography of wealth, power and business all dressed up like a late 70s Bowie record and the Suicide meets Sliver Apples of “Arbitrary Lessons In Custom” about “how we lose touch with people and friends we love and the slow burn of how it happens”.
The results whilst punchy and direct remain rich, strange and sometimes
unsettling.  HiggledyPiggledy, then is a perfect intro to the wonderfully weird world of SLUG.

Vundabar 
Bird On The Wire presents 
When: 02/05/2018 07:30 pm

Ticket Link: http://birdonthewire.seetickets.com/go/vundabarthelexington
From 2014 to 2017 Vundabar’s Brandon Hagen cared for a loved one that had fallen into a debilitating state of mental and physical decline. For four years his sickness and the eventual loss that followed became the focal point of Hagen’s life as well as his family’s. It was the bell jar under which they lived. Hagen was fractured into two selves; one, largely insular, racked by grief and loss and the other putting it on, touring relentlessly and hoping to be as affable as possible lest he ruin the opportunities at hand. These were the fencings and borders he made for himself and for a time he let them stand. He presented a shell of charisma and withdrew into isolation and despair, convinced he was doing right by the old dogma of stoicism. He didn’t tell a soul out of shame and embarrassment; whose he didn’t know.
‘Smell Smoke’, the band’s anticipated 2018 follow up to their breakout 2015 album ‘Gawk,’ is an attempt at openness and vulnerability. It’s an attempt at unlearning. It’s a document of grief; a child crying into the dark.

Over three years since the release of the critically-acclaimed ‘Mysteries’, East London’s Tigercats return with their much anticipated follow-up, ‘Pig City’ – a record that builds both musically and lyrically on their work to date.
Almost completely self-recorded and produced by bassist Giles, ‘Pig City’ hears a broadening of the band’s indie pop influences, expanding into highlife, afrobeat, and scuzzy West African psych. Sonically more aggressive, ‘Pig City’ is the sound of a band directing their anger at the incessant gentrification of East London as developers close in on the studio they call home.
Tigercats’ third record, and first with Barcelona label El Segell del Primavera, ‘Pig City’ is the sound of a band unafraid of changing a winning formula – with the results fierce, bold and powerful.

(Alcopop Records)
The Spook School are Nye Todd (guitar/vocals), Anna Cory (bass/vocals), Adam Todd (guitar/vocals) and Niall McCamley (drums). Since forming in 2012, they’ve released two records to critical acclaim: 2013’s Dress Up, a gender-binary eradicating release—noisy, cheery pop critical of social construction and its limitations, and 2015’s Try to Be Hopeful, a celebration of queer and trans identities from a place of newfound self-assurance. The band, whose name originates from the Glasgow School, have lived a lot of life since then: Could It Be Different? was written from space that follows aplomb. “You’re comfortable with yourself, as much as you ever can be but you have to live with that person anyway,” Nye says of the record, “There are more questions than answers. That’s why the title works well—it has that insecurity to it.” Adam agrees, “It also comes from a place of feeling like everything definitely isn’t alright now,” pausing. “Maybe things could change?”
“A theatrical indie pop band that embrace’s life’s misinterpretations and messiness…their noise-pop jams remain as joyful as ever” – Pitchfork
“The Spook School are that rare and beautiful thing: a band with something to say.” – The Guardian
“Societal norms and gender stereotypes are in the crosshairs of these threadbare tunes…trans love songs that hit home no matter your orientation.” – NPR

Price: £adv £8
Ticket Link: https://Tickets.lnk.to/StellaDonnelly
Stella Donnelly was raised between Morriston, Swansea in Wales and the burbs of Quinns Rocks, Western Australia. Donnelly got her start singing Greenday songs in her Aussie high school rock band, eventually turning her interest to jazz and contemporary as an adult studying at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. 
At the beginning of 2017 Donnelly released her debut EP ‘Thrush Metal’ and was met with critical acclaim. The five-track release was written over the space of two years; a musical undertaking resulting in a bold and unapologetic repertoire of songs which has forged Donnelly to the forefront of the new guard of Australian songwriters.
Donnelly’s brutally honest and witty observations of people and relationships are transformed into blissful poems and lyrical punch lines on her standout debut EP ‘Thrush Metal’. Donnelly’s relatable way of writing is her lens to the world in which we live, a glimpse into what it’s like to be a millennial woman in the age of Trump, Tinder and third wave feminism.

Thought Forms, Vena Cava, Sterocilia 
When: 12/05/2018 07:30 pm
Thought Forms are one of those rare acts for whom the term “sonic progression” actually applies. Judging by the beguiling sound chasms of their debut, through the alternatingly brain-melting and biting Ghost Mountain to last year’s near perfect Songs For Drowning they are also on a quest for sonic perfection.
Oh and they can do it all live as well, and in spades! Which is why we are thrilled to put them on one of the best stages in London and on a Saturday night to boot.
Praise for Thought Forms
Ghost Mountain is a superbly heady mix of full on doom rock drone and effects laden MBV style indie rock… If you can imagine Sonic Youth colliding head on with Sunn O))) then you’re pretty spot on.
– Norman Records (9/10)
With facets of prog, doom, shoegaze and post-rock the four-piece craft atmospheric, gloomy cuts that are utterly satisfying and realised. Charlie Romijn carries the performance, veering in and out amid the menacing pianos and fuzzed up guitars and bass.”
– The Quietus
Songs About Drowning comes as close to a perfect ten as can be bestowed on any release that hasn’t stood a test of time or without making allowance for even the faintest prospect of improvement. On this showing it’s hard to see how they, or anyone else, are going to better this any time soon. Bets may now be off for album of the year.
– Terrascope
It’s their most accomplished statement yet, one which manages to sound more refined and grown up while still packing a mean punch to an exposed aural solar plexus. It’s difficult to overstate how good an album this is – you’d be hard pressed to pick a better album all year.”
– Soundblab
“If there is one album you need to buy this year, it’s Thought Forms’ third album, Songs About Drowning. It’s just sublime…
There is so much heart and soul in this album it is impossible not to be moved to tears and to want to crawl inside the music and live through the lyrics again and again.

Birds Of Chicago 
Green Note presents 
When: 14/05/2018 08:00 pm

Price: £adv £15
Ticket Link: http://www.greennote.co.uk/production/birds-of-chicago-2/
Birds of Chicago have been riding a swell of good mojo in the Americana scene since their inception in late 2012. With their new album, Love in Wartime, they are set to both confirm that roots world buzz, and break on through to a much wider audience.
Recorded in Chicago against a backdrop of bewilderment, deep divide and dread, Love in Wartime is a rock and roll suite with a cinematic sweep. Co-produced with Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), it evokes epic efforts of the 60’s and 70’s, with love as the undeniable through-line.
Built around the chemistry and fire between Allison Russell and JT Nero, and their rock-steady band, BOC tours hard. Russell and Nero played with different bands in the mid-aughts (Po’ Girl and JT and the Clouds) before finding their way to each other. Nero, who writes the bulk of the songs, found himself a transcendent vocal muse in Russell (a powerful writer herself) and the band honed its chops on the road, playing 200 shows a year between 2013-17. All that shaping and sharpening, over so many miles, led them back to Chicago’s Electrical Audio in January of 2017, to begin recording Love in Wartime. “Any act of love is an act of bravery,” says Russell.. We want to give people some good news. And we want them to be able to dance when they hear it.”
Their most recent releases include 2016’s Joe Henry-produced Real Midnight and 2017’s EP American Flowers, BOC’s debut from the label Signature Sounds Recordings. Critics have searched for the right words to describe Real Midnight’s deep lyricism, gut-punch singing and musicality…. “Secular gospel” was one phrase that caught some traction. That fervor is evident in Love and Wartime as well: “Roll Away the heavy stone/roll away the heavy hours/roll on in the summer moon/who’s alive who’s alive who’s alive?” The invitation is joyous, but urgent. There’s another phrase that they used to describe poetry intoned over roots music mash-ups: Rock n Roll. The Birds consider themselves a rock and roll band first and foremost, and Love in Wartime doesn’t leave any doubt about that.
Birds’ shows attract a mix of indy rockers, jam-kids and Americana/roots lovers, mixing moments of hushed attention with wild, rock and soul abandon. Says Nero, “a good show can send you back out into the night feeling — for at least a little while – that everything isn’t broken.”
These days, that’s no small thing.

Ratboys (Chicago)
Led by Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan, Ratboys modern, tender spin on country and indie-rock is a
blessing. Call it what you will or just lap up the nostalgia – tingled vocals that sway along like a lighter in the wind, string poppin’ licks that excite the hips. Listen to their latest EP, GL out on Topshelf Records and see what the fuss is all about.
Wild Pink (New York)
Sitting further East are Brooklyn’s Wild Pink – a group whose pace matches the whimsical 90s of bands
like Yo La Tengo and The American Analog Set. Few can pull of something so simple on the surface yet
engrossing. An auditory equivalent of a gigantic hug. Set yourself up for a nice time and listen to their debut 2017 s/t on Tiny Engines.

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS
————————–
The band’s three-chord punk rock riffs would bring a tear to Kim Fowley’s eye. Then there’s Amyl and the Sniffers’ catchy track 70s Street Munchies, with its subliminal references to Eskimo Pies and Chico Rolls. And wasn’t sniffing amyl nitrate the cheap narcotic pleasure of many a ‘70s nocturnal gathering?
Amy Taylor laughs when I make the superficial observation. “I suppose it’s just what interests me and influences me,” she says. “Growing up around my parents, who grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney, that’s what I’ve been around – muscle cars, shit punk music, that kind of stuff.” 
Amyl and the Sniffers started out as an impromptu bedroom recording project. “We all lived together, so we all got home from work and study,” Taylor says. “Callum, another guy who I lived with, had all this stuff set up in my room, ready to record. So we sat down for four hours, we wrote and recorded and he mixed the EP and that day we put it out. ”
Tickets are £8 and available on See and Dice.

Her debut album is a twelve song run of empowerment anthems. To be expected, her initial release, Whites in their Eyes, was a self-assuring single. It hit as a belligerent attack in digestible, personable form – with her vocal delivery obviously sincere and her instrumental charge unignorable. Mattiel mixes soulful Americana with slick California sensibilities, and she’s taking it live in London. Don’t miss this.

Desert Mountain Tribe released their debut album Either That Or The Moon in the spring of 2016 to positive reviews from UK publications such as Shindig, Classic Rock, Louder Than War, Drowned In Sound and The Arts Desk.
They got off to a flying start with early standout track ‘Coming Down’, which was featured on Reverb Conspiracy Volume 2, a release double-headed by both Fuzz Club Records and Austin Psych Fest. In 2015, the band went on to produce a handful of cool and well-received demos that would ultimately assist in finding an album deal with Membran Entertainment Group in Europe/UK, and Metropolis Records in North America.
Subsequent releases have included two digital EP¹s, If You Don¹t Know Can You Don¹t Know Köln and Live At St. Pancras Old Church, plus the Youth mixed single Enos In Space (Top Of The World).
The band spent much of 2017 on the road, including tours of both North America and mainland Europe, with new drummer Frank van der Ploeg joining the group in the autumn.
Desert Mountain Tribe’s last single of 2017, the epic ‘Interstellar¹ taken from their 2016 debut album Either That Or The Moon¹, was edited down from its original nine minute duration and boasted a superb video directed by Daniel Turner of Sound & Colour, which won a Video of the Year accolade from the UK site Live4Ever and also US magazine Pow:
Following continued touring in both the United States and mainland Europe they are currently engaged in recording and producing their follow-up album to be released on June 1st 2018.

Loma’s self-titled debut reveals a band obsessed with songs as sound. There are endless details to discover here, stoked by the album’s urgent and searching lyrical themes (exquisitely delivered by the translucent voice of Emily Cross); and on headphones, the album feels both intimate and expansive, like casting your eyes over a detailed painting on a vast canvas.
It’s also the product of a joint pilgrimage around the globe by fellow touring musicians. Jonathan Meiburg is best known as the singer of Shearwater; Cross and the multi-instrumentalist and engineer Dan Duszynski form Cross Record, originally from Chicago. 
Keep your eyes peeled for the album’s release on 16th Feb (via Sub Pop Records) ahead of this trio’s highly anticipated show!

Scant Regard
“Will Crewdson is best known as guitarist/songwriter from glam punkers Rachel Stamp, as well as trusted sideman for Adam Ant and Johnette Napolitano, but he can also cook up an impressive racket on his own. Scant Regard is an unholy collision of Suicide, Link Wray and Ennio Morricone – what Crewdson dubs ‘Spaghettilectro’ – that kicks harder than one of Sister Sarah’s mules.” Neil Gardner, Rock Sound
