SUMMARY:BILL ORCUTT + ALEXANDER TUCKER
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nBILL ORCUTT\nALEXANDER TUCKER\nMonday 13 April\nBush Hall\, 310 Uxbridge Rd\, Shepherds Bush\, London W12 7LJ\n7.30pm | £18 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/U67bfce667c6 \nBILL ORCUTT is a guitarist and composer. He has been described as “thrillingly original” (Will Ainsley\, Bandcamp Daily) as “a go-for-broke guitar improviser” (Ben Ratliff\, New York Times) “\, creating a new language (Marc Masters\, Pitchfork) whose playing would “make Derek Bailey do a double-take” (Lars Gotrich\, NPR). Orcutt tours actively\, appearing at festivals worldwide\, including Rewire (The Hague)\, Presences Electronique (Paris)\, Jazz em Agosto (Lisbon)\, Goner Fest (Memphis)\, Musique Actuelle (Victoriaville)\, Big Ears (Knoxville)\, Music Unlimited (Wels)\, Le Guess Who? (Utrecht)\, Nouveau Festival du Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, Unsound (Kraków)\, une session à Maida Vale pour BBC 3 (London) et un Tiny Desk concert pour NPR. \n2025 saw Orcutt release ‘Another Perfect Day’\, his first solo electric guitar record since 2017’s eponymous Bill Orcutt. While that eight-year gap might not seem like a ton of time on the cosmic scale\, it nonetheless represents a busy half-decade plus for Orcutt projects: a raft of improv collaborations\, an acclaimed run of chopped and looped albums on Fake Estates\, and the collision of Orcutt’s computer and guitar music on Music For Four Guitars and last year’s How to Rescue Things\, both on Palilalia. The undeniable alchemy of those latter mashups inspired not only a wider appreciation of Orcutt-as-composer\, but also the resurrection of Orcutt-as-bandleader\, as the Bill Orcutt Quartet hit the road in support of Four Guitars\, Orcutt’s first work with a proper score. ‘Another Perfect Day’ sees Orcutt building tension with short phrases\, repeated with slight variability until it seems like they’ll never stop\, finally slamming into a fresh line like the dawning valley at the crest of the mountain pass. It’s an affirmation that Orcutt is above all a lead player – angular runs scaling the heavens\, ricocheting back to ground zero before climbing again.\nhttps://billorcutt.bandcamp.com/ \nALEXANDER TUCKER returns to the guitar after spending the last few years focusing on his modular experimental techno guise MICROCORPS. Since the early 2000s\, Tucker has released solo guitar and cello-based albums on Thrill Jockey Records\, Subtext\, and ATP Recordings\, blending songs\, electronics\, strings\, vocals and extended techniques. Creating music that sits between structured songwriting\, composition\, drone\, and noise\, Tucker is also a prolific collaborator\, with projects that include tape-loop duo Imbogodom and electronic pop with Grumbling Fur and Charlemagne Palestine. More recent live collaborations include work with Lasse Marhaug\, Kenichi Iwasa\, and Elvin Brandhi. \n2026 sees Tucker melding his past work with acoustic guitar with his present explorations with modular synth systems and electronics\, processing minimal steel-string guitar into unrecognisable sonic forms through improvisation\, synthesis and electronic manipulation. Tucker’s investigations into electroacoustic and music concrete composition have led him to seek out ways to warp\, stretch and mangle his own guitar playing beyond its original form\, revelling in the sheer pleasure of transforming sound and creating imaginary and unspoken spaces. \nhttps://alexandertucker.bandcamp.com/music

SUMMARY:Tereza Stehlikova @ absolute now II
DESCRIPTION:‘Eternity does not exist anywhere but in changing time. Eternity is the absolute now.’ –  D.T. Suzuki\, Time and Eternity (1956) \nRieko Akatsuka – George Barber – Kaz – Guy Sherwin – Tereza Stehlikova \nFor the 10th anniversary of absolute now\, a group exhibition originally held in Tokyo\, five artists return to explore the enduring paradox of time: the coexistence of the fixed and the fluid\, the eternal and the ever-changing. \nAmong the new works presented\, Czech artist Tereza Stehlikova contributes a video installation that expands on her long-term project 4 Generations of Women (2012). Her piece immerses viewers in a layered reality where personal\, familial\, and more-than-human identities converge. Through the poetic use of moving image\, Stehlíková explores how selfhood is entangled with ancestry\, descendants\, and the natural world — revealing a timeless quality within the rhythms of change. Boundaries dissolve: between mother and daughter\, self and other\, human and non-human\, past and future\, yet something essential endures in the very act of being present. \nAs with the other participating artists\, Stehlikova uses the language of the moving image\, a medium built from stillness in motion\, to question what ‘absolute now’ means in a socio-political context transformed over the past decade. The exhibition reflects on how we inhabit the present in a time when truth feels increasingly unstable and digital technologies offer continual escape from the here and now. \nThe exhibition is curated by Kaz and will include a curated programme of events. \nFor further information\, please contact danielle@daniellearnaud.com. \nThe gallery is open by appointment only.   \nMore info about the exhibition on the DANIELLE ARNAUD website.

SUMMARY:Comedy Unleashed
DESCRIPTION:Comedy Unleashed is a night of free-thinking comedy with comedians who don’t self-censor! \nWhy Comedy Unleashed? \nAndrew Doyle: “Andy Shaw and I set up Comedy Unleashed because we feel that the time is right for a new alternative comedy movement. We book comics from all political backgrounds\, or those who have no interest in politics at all. Our key criteria are that they are talented and funny. ” \nFeaturing: \nScott Capurro \nIf someone tells Scott to avoid a subject\, he goes straight to it. We bloody love him. \n“He’s evil and should be forced to leave the country” – Daily Mirror. “Vaingloriously poisonous” – Scotsman. Here’s a clip of Scott from the London club. \nAlan Francis \nAfter winning Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny? At the Edinburgh Festival\, Alan became a regular performer on the UK and international comedy circuits and has appeared on TV several times as a stand-up. He has appeared on TV in Psychoville and Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge and has been in Knowing Me Knowing You\, Alistair McGowan’s Big Impression\, Ancona and Co\, Alas Smith and Jones\, The BBC Stand Up Show\, the Alan Davies Show and Alexei Sayle’s Stuff. \nDane Frisby \nHaving cut his teeth on the Estonian comedy scene during a visit to the Baltic states\, and subsequently gigged across Europe and with some of Ireland’s premier comics\, Irish comedian Dane Frisby is a rising talent. \nLewis Schaffer \nLewis is the darling of the demised satirical news show Headliners. He’s a top New York comedian who settled in the UK. He is particularly loved by women of a certain age – charming\, unpredictable\, spontaneously surreal and utterly maverick. Here’s a clip of Lewis at the Scottish Hate Crime gig. \nDominic Frisby \nDominic is a libertarian version of Billy Bragg (with a sense of humour). Dominic’s recent video\, ‘We’re All far Right Now\, was retweeted by Elon Musk and got 60 million views. Dominic will perform new songs and some old favourites. \nTicket buyers will be added to the Comedy Unleashed email newsletter. You’re free to unsubscribe at any time. \n(Artists on the bill may be changed)

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Matt Thorne with FAMOUS: Ego\, Envy and Ambition in Pop\, Rock and Hip-Hop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Matt Thorne\, acclaimed author\, critic and cultural commentator\, as he discusses his thought-provoking book Famous\, an insightful exploration of fame\, creativity and modern celebrity culture. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating writers who shape how we understand music\, media and contemporary culture. Each session goes beyond the page\, offering live conversation\, critical context and creative insight. \nIn Famous\, Thorne examines what it really means to be famous in the modern world — how celebrity is constructed\, consumed and mythologised\, and how it impacts artists\, audiences and society at large. Drawing on music\, film\, literature and pop culture\, the book explores the tension between visibility and identity\, success and selfhood. \nRather than glamourising fame\, Thorne asks deeper questions about ambition\, validation and the cost of being seen. The book is especially resonant in an era shaped by social media\, constant exposure and the pressure to build a public persona\, making it essential reading for anyone pursuing a creative career today. \nSmart\, accessible and deeply reflective\, Famous offers a critical lens on the cultural systems that elevate — and often exploit — creative talent. \nWhat to expect \nA talk from Matt Thorne on the themes and ideas behind Famous \nDiscussion around fame\, identity and creativity in the modern music and media landscape \nInsights into writing\, criticism and cultural analysis \nAudience Q&A \nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one on the night \nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful and engaging evening with one of the UK’s most perceptive cultural writers.

SUMMARY:Lambslaughter
DESCRIPTION:“[Lambslaughter] captures the strange intensity of teenage consciousness with an honesty that feels almost documentary. It does not sentimentalise girlhood. It remembers it.” A Young(ish) Perspective \nFollowing a critically acclaimed\, sold-out run at Playhouse East\, the award-winning Lambslaughter lands at the King’s Head Theatre for one night only. \nSet in a Catholic girls’ school in Merseyside in 2013\, the play follows two sixth-formers\, Chloe and Jade\, and their increasingly blurred relationship with their English teacher\, Mr Barrett. In the absence of parental supervision and under the influence of social media—personified by the vitriolic\, anonymous Twitter account @OurLadyProbz—the girls navigate a world failing to care for them with razor-sharp wit that masks a growing desperation. \nLambslaughter is a searing\, unsettling exploration of girlhood\, power\, and survival at the dawn of the smartphone age. \n“The ensemble maintains a tone of startling realism throughout. The acting is extraordinary in its restraint and credibility.” A Young(ish) Perspective

SUMMARY:Tweed Run London - Saturday 18th April
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 18 April 2026\, The Tweed Run returns to London\, transforming the city’s streets into a moving tableau of beautifully dressed cyclists\, rolling past some of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks. Hundreds of riders\, impeccably turned out\, come together for one of London’s most visually striking and culturally distinctive events. \nNow in its 18th year\, The Tweed Run is a celebration of modern nostalgia – an event that invites people to step away from screens\, slow the pace\, and reconnect through a shared experience. It blends heritage style with contemporary values\, championing slow fashion\, sustainability and the simple pleasure of riding together through the city. \nParticipants are encouraged to dress with creativity\, pairing tailoring\, texture and personal expression with the timeless form of the bicycle. Many riders take to the streets on beautifully built Pashley bicycles – the iconic British manufacturer celebrating its centenary year in 2026 – creating a fitting tribute to the enduring relationship between craftsmanship\, design and the joy of cycling. The result is a day that feels cinematic\, joyful and quietly rebellious – a reminder that style can be thoughtful\, and that community still matters. \nAt its heart\, The Tweed Run is about getting offline\, gathering together\, and creating something that feels both timeless and relevant – evoking the camaraderie of years gone by\, while reflecting modern attitudes towards fashion\, sustainability and how we choose to show up in the world.

SUMMARY:Gathering Wands: Walk and Carving Workshop with Harri Harrison
DESCRIPTION:Centred on Harri Harrison’s sculptural Wands series in the group exhibition The House at IMT Gallery\, this workshop invites a shared evening of wandering\, foraging and making. \nThe workshop begins with a twilight walk through Victoria Park\, led by multimedia artist Harri Harrison. Moving along desire paths\, the group will allow themselves to wander off the obvious routes\, gathering found natural materials along the way. These paths offer a subtle\, gentle form of resistance\, a space for slower attention and observation. \nReturning to IMT Gallery\, we will gather our foraged materials and create our own wands using a combination of carving and binding techniques. The session concludes with a guided meditation and meditative drawing exercise. Together we will explore what it means to hold found natural materials\, noticing how our focus shifts between objects\, ourselves\, and the connections they hold.  \nNo previous experience needed\, and natural materials and tools will be provided. Feel free to bring your preferred drawing materials and any found items you would like to work with\, such as stones\, sticks\, shells\, dried flowers\, wood\, or string for binding. Please wear suitable footwear and clothing for walking\, as paths may be slightly muddy. If you have any questions or specific access needs\, please feel free to get in touch. \nAbout Harri Harrison: \nHarri Harrison is a multimedia artist whose practice integrates performance\, text-based projections\, plant-based work\, and alternative photography processes\, engaging directly with urban environments. Harri explores notions of place\, community\, grief\, gratitude\, and belonging\, inviting us to reconsider our relationship to nature and future communities.  \nHarri has over 13 years of experience leading creative workshops\, collaborating with institutions such as Cubitt Gallery\, PEER Gallery\, and Phytology at Bethnal Green Nature Reserve. \nGathering Wands is open to all — wanderers\, makers\, quiet explorers\, and anyone curious to slow down\, attend to the everyday\, hold attention\, and reflect through making.  \nSpaces are limited. Reserve your place for an evening of quiet attention.

SUMMARY:LANDE HEKT + THE POPGUNS + MUMBLE TIDE
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents….. \nLANDE HEKT\nTHE POPGUNS\nMUMBLE TIDE\nSunday 19 April\nMOTH Club\, Old Trades Hall\, Valette St\, London\, E9 6NU\n7pm | £13.50 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/f4d01f8d742e \nLANDE HEKT has quietly become one of the UK’s best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length\, Going To Hell\, and 2022’s House Without a View\, she explored her queer identity\, sobriety\, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt\, conversational indie-pop\, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays\, Throwing Muses\, and The Beths. Her new album\, Lucky Now\, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire\, It Hugs Back)\, reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. “I’m not as concerned about how I’m presenting myself\,” Hekt says. “I’ve tried to think less about how things are coming across\, and just write songs that make me feel connected to myself and what I value.”\nHekt’s musical touchstones – The Wedding Present\, The Sundays\, The Replacements – remain the same\, but at the same time\, she’s delved deeper into other influences. Lucky Now is indebted to 1980s twee-pop and jangle-pop like The Pastels\, Tallulah Gosh and The Bats\, as well as to more modern iterations of the sound\, such as Autocamper and Jeanines\, in its ecstatic\, soaring melodies and gorgeous\, tactile guitars. The sound is fitting for Hekt’s new lyrical outlook\, where\, though despair and anxiety rear their heads\, she digs deep to find the gratitude. During the album’s recording\, Hekt also moved from Bristol back to her hometown of Exeter. In a lot of ways\, Lucky Now is about return – return to joy\, return to places and parts of the self once left behind. Who you once were can seem unreachable\, but sometimes you can build a bridge. \nhttps://landehekt.bandcamp.com \nTHE POPGUNS are an indie pop band formed in Brighton in 1986\, known for their melodic sound\, chiming guitars\, and the vocals of Wendy Morgan (now Pickles). Often associated with the late 80s/early 90s indie scene\, they achieved success with singles like “Landslide” and quintessential albums ‘Eugenie’ and ‘Snog’ before a hiatus. In 2012\, the band resumed live performances with six gigs. A three-track 7″ single\, “Lovejunky”\, was released in late 2014\, followed by a new album\, ‘Pop Fiction’\, on Matinée Recordings. Soundblab ranked the album at Number 2 on their Top 10 Releases of the year. The band have continued to tour and record new material\, and released the single “So Long” in May 2017\, followed quickly by the album ‘Sugar Kisses’.\nhttps://thepopguns.bandcamp.com/ \nMUMBLE TIDE is a Bristol-based DIY indie-pop duo formed by vocalist/lyricist Gina Leonard and multi-instrumentalist/producer Ryan Rogers. Known for their “scrappy” bedroom-pop sound\, the former couple creates music that blends grunge\, folk\, and electronic elements. Inspired by the free-flowing rhythms of 60’s American folk\, the aim was to find a balance between Roger’s vivid arrangements and Leonard’s evocative lyrics\, one that truly captured the bittersweet depths of their songwriting. The group’s debut album\, ‘Might As Well Play Another One’\, was released last year on Breakfast Records. \nhttps://mumbletide.bandcamp.com/music

He penned the words in the band’s final official tour programme and was en route to review their last UK show when it was cancelled. He co-authored Any Road Will Get Us There (If We Don’t Know Where We’re Going) with Noel Gallagher in 2018\, and his sleevenotes for the Be Here Now reissue were featured in the Chasing the Sun: 1993–1997 Oasis exhibition. \nTed Kessler\nKessler was on staff at NME from 1993 to 2003 before joining Q magazine\, where he worked for sixteen years\, including four as editor. He first interviewed Oasis in 1994 around their debut single Supersonic\, and his final interview with the band was in Amsterdam in 2009\, just before their split. Since then\, he’s written five Liam Gallagher cover interviews and remains one of the most trusted voices on the band’s legacy. \nThe Long Play Sessions\nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating some of the most influential voices writing about music today.

SUMMARY:Fanfares for Leoš Janáček\, with special guest Jakub Hrůša
DESCRIPTION:An evening devoted to the electrifying late music of Leoš Janáček\, marking 100 years since the premiere of his jubilant masterpiece\, the Sinfonietta. \n\nConductor Jakub Hrůša\, writer and broadcaster Nigel Simeone\, and leading Janáček scholar Jiří Zahrádka explore the composer’s extraordinary creative surge in the final decade of his life. From his transformative meeting with Kamila Stösslová in 1917 to the radiant\, defiant energy of works like the Sinfonietta\, the discussion traces how personal passion and an unmistakably original musical language combined to produce some of the most compelling music of the 20th century. \nInterwoven with musical examples and personal reflections\, this is above all a celebration of Janáček’s enduring voice – alongside the launch of two new publications: Janáček’s Sinfonietta by Nigel Simeone and Jiří Zahrádka (Boydell\, 2026) and Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen: Janáček’s New Lease of Life by Jiří Zahrádka (Host\, 2026). \nJakub Hrůša is Music Director of the Royal Opera\, Covent Garden\, Chief Conductor of the Bamberg Symphony and Music Director Designate of the Czech Philharmonic (from 2028). Born in Brno\, he has been an ardent champion of Czech music around the world. The production of Janáček’s Makropulos Case at Covent Garden in 2025 has been nominated for an Olivier Award\, and many of his recordings have won international recognition\, including the Gramophone Opera Award for Káťa Kabanová at the Salzburg Festival. His complete cycle of Bohuslav Martinů’s symphonies will be released later this year by Deutsche Grammophon. \nNigel Simeone is a writer and broadcaster with a lifelong interest in Janáček. He is the author of several books on the composer including The Janáček Compendium (2019) and he is co-author the standard catalogue of Janáček’s works (1997). He appears regularly on BBC Radio 3 (Record Review\, Opera on 3\, and the Proms)\, and has written programme notes for the Royal Opera House\, London Symphony Orchestra\, Salzburg Festival\, Glyndebourne Festival and others. \nJiří Zahrádka is Director of the Janáček Archive in Brno and a musicologist. He is the editor of critical editions of many works by Janáček including the Sinfonietta\, Taras Bulba\, Káťa Kabanová\, The Cunning Little Vixen and The Makropulos Affair\, and he is the author of several books on Janáček including acclaimed full-length studies of the operas\, most recently Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen. \n\nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Distorted Frame presents: ‘Bamboozled’ 25th Anniversary screening with short film + intro
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the UK release of Bamboozled\, Spike Lee’s furious\, satirical polemic attacking the inherent racism in American society and the cultural hypocrisy that sustains it. Earning a much-deserved cult status after bombing at the box office\, Lee’s uncompromising and incendiary film has\, sadly\, only grown in relevance in the quarter-century since its release.\nTo introduce the film\, we welcome Julian Alexander\, Co-Programme Leader for the BA Filmmaking programme at the University of East London\, and the writer/director of the short film Whiteface\, which will screen before the feature.\n\nBamboozled (dir. Spike Lee)Angered by the constant cultural appropriation and ignorance of his colleagues\, Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans)\, the only Black writer at a television network\, creates a show so offensive it is sure to get him fired. The show features Black performers in full blackface\, presenting a variety show that portrays and reinforces the most racist stereotypes ever conceived. Unfortunately for Delacroix\, the show is a massive hit.\n\n“…a vital work that’s equal parts crystal ball and cannonball: glittering and prophetic\, heavy and dangerous” – Ashley Clark\, The Guardian.\n\nWhiteface (dir. Julian Alexander)Vince (Joshua Caleb Horton)\, a Black man wearing white face makeup\, has convinced his white girlfriend Melanie (Alexandra Renzo) and her parents at their Fourth of July barbecue that he is white. His deception seems to hold until two of his Black friends unexpectedly arrive\, also in whiteface\, but dressed as 19th-century Southern dandies. Under mounting pressure\, Vince’s fabricated identity begins to unravel\, ultimately forcing him to confront the very revelation he was trying to avoid.
