UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA @ XOYO, LONDON, 28TH NOV 2011.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra were back in town this evening to play the Rockfeedback night at XOYO in London’s bustling Shoreditch. The New Zealand / Portland three piece weren’t without their share of technical difficulties (broken strings, malfunctioning pedals, etc) but the ramshackle nature of the show did nothing to hide the brilliance of this band, as they tore through tracks from their self-titled, Fat Possum released, debut album.

The Mantles @ Shacklewell Arms, March 24th.
San Francisco four-piece The Mantles finished a two week European tour with an Upset The Rhythm hosted gig at what was supposed to be Marquis of Ladndsdowne but ended up being the Shacklewell Arms, just round the corner in the heart of Dalston’s cool (London). The Mantles first caught our attention with the PHENOMENAL ‘Dont Lie’ single from their 2009 self-titled debut album, one of our tracks of that year. // more

La Sera @ The Nest, Dalston Nov 22nd.
So we’ve literally just got back from La Sera‘s first ever show outside the U.S. of A. They themselves only got off a plane something silly like four hours earlier! For those who haven’t come across them yet, La Sera, is the new side project of busy bee Katy Goodman, otherwise known as the flowing red head who adds bass and woozy vocal harmonies to Brooklyn’s excellent Vivian Girls. In La Sera it’s all about Katy though, well almost all. // more
