February Makes a Bridge - 16/02/13

'February Makes A Bridge' is a double record label showcase uniting Upset The Rhythm with Night School in the aim of taking the DIY concert out of it's expected parameters and into interesting new pastures to enhance the potency of the music and its effect on the audience. 

Taking it's name from one of George Herbert's proverbs, 'February Makes A Bridge' not only signifies a coming together to leap into the sunshine of the new year, it also attempts to link the event with its setting, The Yard Theatre. The Yard Theatre is a newly built raked amphitheatre in the Elizabethan style constructed in a once dormant warehouse in Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick. Herbert was born during the reign of 'The Virgin Queen' and we can hear his February echo in this building, with this event.

'February Makes A Bridge' will take place on Saturday 16 February from 1pm - 11pm at The Yard Theatre.

The full address for the event is The Yard Theatre, Unit 2, Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN

Tickets cost £7 and are available here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/200040

Performing at this special one off event are the following acts affiliated with Night School and Upset The Rhythm:

GOLDEN GRRRLS
Roughed-up, winsome, noise-inflected perfect pop.



TRASH KIT
Face-painted flag-bearers with a wild feel for melody and a heartfelt kick inside each song.



WAY THROUGH
Land-locked pastoral punk, informed as much by the field as the fly-over.



APOSTILLE
Electro-ecstatic keyboard quests, distorted handclaps and vocal incantation.



HALO HALO
Hyper melodic Sinawi pop vibes shot through with clattering technicolour.



PEEPHOLES
Cloaked anthems of primal beats, hallucinatory vocals and synth euphoria.



BOMBER JACKETS
Minimal versus mundane synth-damaged realists.



PACO SALA
Opiated rhythms, spiralling harmony and the pervading sense of a tender isolationism.



EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS
Haunted pools of spooked keyboard, floating song and tumbling guitar-n-drum.
