Sidney&Matilda Presents: Addison Groove

TICKETS

Bristol-based producer Addison Groove (Antony Williams) played a significant role in introducing Chicago's juke/footwork scene to the U.K. bass music continuum, and helped solidify the connection between the two, particularly through the 2010 single "Footcrab" and collaborations with footwork pioneer . Williams had previously achieved significant success in the dubstep scene for his work under the name , having released numerous singles and a full-length on , one of the genre's leading labels. However, once he heard the hyperkinetic beats and rapid-fire samples of footwork, he began reframing those elements in a dubstep context, slowing the beats down a bit and airing them out, making the tracks a bit more DJ-friendly. The first result was "Footcrab," which was released by 's label during the first half of 2010 and instantly became a massive underground hit. Subsequent singles, including releases on and , incorporated influences such as electro and acid house. By the end of 2011, Addison Groove had signed to 's imprint. A cryptic one-sided 7" single titled "Addison Locked Groove," a single track that lasted one minute and 11 seconds, was released on 11/11/11. The debut full-length Transistor Rhythm, which featured collaborations with (fresh from his footwork-influenced project) and , arrived in 2012. This was followed by Adventures in Rainbow Country, an EP including the popular club track "I Go Boom," which was subsequently remixed by Chicago footwork pioneer . The year 2013 brought collaborations with (BS3 EP) and Bristol drum'n'bass veteran (Keyhole). Both artists contributed to the second Addison Groove album, James Grieve, which appeared in early 2014. Later in the year, Williams released Turn Up the Silence, an EP that featured "U Been Gone," a collaboration with , whose life tragically came to an end several months before the EP's release. Addison Groove shared a split 12" with as part of ' final run of releases in 2015. He also began releasing singles on his own label, including a 12" of "Footcrab" edits, and collaborated with once more, on 2016's Legion of Boom EP. The African-influenced Changa EP, a 12" of remixes of the EP track "Shango," and another collaboration with , Where Are the People, were all released in 2017.

Jarred Up x Sidney and Matilda Presents: 

Pulled Apart By Horses

Pulled Apart By Horses are a potent force within the alternative rock scene - less a gang, more a fucked-up family. Formed in 2008 and existing in its own chaotic ecosystem, PABH embarked on relentless tours with frenetic live performances. The Leeds trio make and perform music that thrills and menaces. In Sept 2022, after a period of reflection and transformation, PABH released their long-awaited 5th album, ‘Reality Cheques’. Creating songs delivered with raw urgency, the band changed their approach with Hudson ditching his guitar and focusing on vocals, distilling their lineup to guitar, bass and drums creating a vital new feel.

“The fat was trimmed! We spent months playing the songs in our practice space & on an ‘up close and personal’ tour, heading into the studio to capture the tracks live, tour tight and locked in!”

A 7” vinyl featuring ‘First World Problems’ / ‘Rinse & Repeat’, saw PABH landing at #2 in The UK Vinyl Singles Chart. ‘First World Problems’ - ‘’is a voiced frustration towards our groomed, individualist society. Our real & online worlds are full of constant venting of trivial annoyances, as if they are the centre of the universe when there are more pressing matters out there.’’ 'Rinse & Repeat’ is ‘’Inspired by seeing Ziggy Stardust standing in line at the JobCentre, it’s more punk rock than Iggy advertising life insurance.”

Brudenell Presents: The Vaselines

TICKETS

The Vaselines were formed in Edinburgh in 1987 by singer/guitarists Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, who were later joined by Kelly's brother Charles on drums and James Seenan on bass. Soon signing to Pastels frontman Stephen Pastel's newly formed 53rd & 3rd label, the Vaselines embarked on their first-ever studio session, which yielded their debut single, 1987's fantastic "Son of a Gun."

The follow-up, "Dying for It," appeared a year later, with the inclusion of viola player Sophie Pragnell plainly acknowledging the band's debt to the Velvet Underground. The demise of 53rd & 3rd proved fatal to the Vaselines as well, however, and the group dissolved the same week its lone studio LP, 1989's Dum-Dum, was released via Rough Trade, although the following year the original lineup briefly reunited to open for Nirvana in Edinburgh. Nirvana would go on to cover the Vaselines' "Molly's Lips" and "Son of a Gun" (both later compiled on their Incesticide collection) as well as perform "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" on their legendary MTV Unplugged appearance.

Lazy Thinking Live: An Inspiring and Intimate Evening of Literature and Music

Here it is. The opener. The big one. The who-know’s-what-the-hell-is-going-on-but-it-damn-looks-like-a-lot-of-fun, first-ever, all singing, all dancing Library of Lazy Thinking Live Show.

To mark this special occasion, it is an absolute honour and pleasure to bring you readings from the wonderful and inspiring humans that go by the names of David Keenan, Helen Mort, and Lias Saoudi, not to mention live music from the always excellent Andrew DR Abbott and the ever-eccentric Loic J Tuckey.

Plus, as well as live performances, casual chat, and potentially enforced fun, there’ll be a pop-up bookshop from Novel’s rather wonderful Kate and Joe. It means you can drink booze AND buy books, all while Lias Saoudi looks at you suspiciously from across the room.

I mean, it’s the stuff dreams are made of, right?

It’s all going down (in two parts and an old-school intermission) at Sidney & Matilda’s in Sheffield on Thursday 20th March, from 7pm until late. You should probably come—it’ll be good.

Tickets are limited and it’s first come first served.

Jarred Up Presents: Avalanche Party 

“The most exciting rock & roll band in the UK right now” - JACK SAUNDERS, BBC RADIO 1

“A tsunami of mega riffs and eardrum-popping bass lines. Definitely don’t want to wear your Sunday best to one of their raucous gigs” - NME

“An absolute tour de force, their boundless energy and breathtaking performance truly sets them apart. By far one of the most thrilling bands you will see in the UK” - LOUDER THAN WAR

Today, (28th November 2024) Yorkshire feral garage-punk band Avalanche Party release new single ‘Shake The Slack’, a commanding, psychedelic-dance track and call to arms. The track features on their forthcoming album ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ on 7th February via AMK, Kartel Music Group’s alternative music imprint. Listen to ‘Shake The Slack’ here.

Vocalist Jordan Bell speaks on the track, “This is about the noble process of taking the slack and shaking it. Whipping that angel delight into shape. The great reckoning cometh. We took a lot of takes in the studio to get it as crisp as possible, lots of slave-driving going on”.

Guitarist Jared Thorpe adds, “From the birth of the initial idea, this song went around the world four times before it learnt how to speak. It was like a painting that was painted over a hundred times, ripped apart daily for months. It kind of got to the point where it finished itself”.

£10adv / Doors- 7:45pm

Goth King Resurrection: Black Celebration

£5 CASH ON THE DOOR

Goth King Resurrection summon those who heed the black omen, awaken from your sleeping thoughts where phantoms stalk your dreams, shed your melancholy shroud, come and surrender to the endless yearning. From the 8th hour in the grand hall at Sidney & Matilda, DJ Dionysus & DJ Vega Bukowski will unveil a sumptuous pre-club set of classic Gothic Rock, Dark Wave, and Post-Punk through Neofolk, Neomedieval, and Neoclassical to Goth Metal and Industrial, but this will be only a foreshadowing of darker things to come. As the 11th hour strikes, they will then lead you, entranced, into the tomblike underground chamber, swathed in shadows and half-light, to devour deeper, longer into the dark of night, this enchanted, demoniac and ritualistic music, monumental and sepulchral.

Gather with us to celebrate dark sounds for dark souls…

 8 – 11pm – DJ pre-club set in the Bar – free entry

11pm – 3am – Club night in the Basement – £5 cash on door
