History

Upset The Rhythm initially formed in 2003 while its members were organising a concert for Deerhoof.[5] By 2015, Upset The Rhythm had organised about 700 shows.[6]

Upset The Rhythm shows occur each week in venues across London from smaller DIY hubs like Power Lunches to more established venues like The Roundhouse.[7] The record label began in the Summer of 2005, funded by a gift of profits from a The Evens show by Ian MacKaye.[8] [9] The label's first release was a mini-album by Death Sentence: Panda!,[10] followed by debut releases by John Maus, No Age and Future Islands.[11] The company works with unusual and upcoming American acts, and also promotes the UK's DIY music scene, releasing records by Trash Kit, Cold Pumas, The Pheromoans, Pega Monstro[12] Silver Fox, The World[13] and Terry.[14]

By December 2013, Upset the Rhythm's live music promotions included working with Tate Britain and Frieze magazine on their music programming,[15] organising an all day charity concert with artist David Shrigley for Amnesty International and co-founding the art/music festival Yes Way[16] [17] with London gallery Auto Italia South East.[18]
