BUFFET LUNCH – ‘Perfect Hit!’ album launch + LERRYN + SASSYHIYA

Upset The Rhythm presents…BUFFET LUNCH – ‘Perfect Hit!’ album launch LERRYN SASSYHIYA Friday 11 April The George Tavern, 373 Commercial Rd, Stepney Green, London E1 0LA 7.30pm | £8 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/ld7ea96b139b [https://link.dice.fm/ld7ea96b139b] BUFFET LUNCH has been writing pleasingly imperfect pop songs since 2017. It is comprised of musicians based in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and (sometimes) Newcastle, and the group crafts ramshackle odysseys of observational charm. Always catchy, often profound. Buffet Lunch has been previously described as a band that creates ‘a hodgepodge of noises’ and who are ‘lyrically ridiculous’. The group vehemently denies both claims. Buffet Lunch has released 3 EPs & 2 LPs to date, and just six months after self-releasing, the album ‘For Display Purposes Only’ returns this spring to Upset the Rhythm for their stunning third album, ‘Perfect Hit!’ A meandering masterpiece of low-fidelity musing, ‘Perfect Hit!’ presents the group in an upbeat mood, as ever casually melodic, only now with some more weighty subject matter to draw upon. ‘Perfect Hit!’ is built from ideas and plots, melodies and hooks, each stacked upon the other. It’s a puzzle, much like life; you keep adding to what went before, hoping for order and shelter. Buffet Lunch has grown into this attitude; you must wait until the end and then stand back to see what they’ve built. Now knock on the door and come on in. This event at The George Tavern is the official album launch for ‘Perfect Hit!’. https://buffetlunchband.bandcamp.com/ [https://buffetlunchband.bandcamp.com/] LERRYN has been a stalwart of the South East London creative scene for over a decade. The founder of cult creative space Lerryn’s Cafe and later frontwoman of post-punk band Dead Arm, her impact on a DIY scene that has defined a corner of London has been significant. The recent EP ‘As A Mother’ (Redundant Span) is the first offering from the next chapter of Lerryn’s own life and the debut release under her name. It is a record written during her experience of pregnancy, motherhood and a period of profound creative reckoning. This collection of songs is intimate, sweet and moving. For this show, Lerryn will be performing as a stripped-back duo. https://redundantspan.bandcamp.com/album/as-a-mother [https://redundantspan.bandcamp.com/album/as-a-mother] SASSYHIYA want to take you somewhere. The journey starts in Kathy and Helen’s flat in South London. Sit down, close your eyes, and immerse yourself… You are on your way to a musical rainforest far from Camberwell. Explore your new surroundings, and you will find beautiful pop blooms like Let’s See What We Can Find, as bright and vibrant as The Sundays, thrusting their colourful faces up from the forest floor. You’ll find tangles of sharp-edged guitar as if Swiss she-punks Kleenex had been left to evolve here in the rich fertile soil (I Had A Thought). You’ll find dark pools full of lyrical complexity, deceptively deep and immersive, with shimmering reflections of The Go-Betweens (Perennial). Sassyhiya’s debut album ‘Take You Somewhere’ is now on Skep Wax! https://sassyhiya.bandcamp.com [https://sassyhiya.bandcamp.com] LIKE THIS: Like Loading...
