SUMMARY:Prolapse + CHOPCHOP
DESCRIPTION:Love Thy Neighbour Presents: Prolapse + CHOPCHOP\n\nTickets:  
 www.seetickets.com/event/prolapse/lewes-con-club/3011129\n\nBar from 5:00p
 m. Doors 7:30pm. Starts 8:00pm - 10:30pm.\n\nProlapse originally formed in
  Leicester\, UK\, in the early 1990s and earned a cult following for thei
 r chaotic live sets\, and tense and repetitious songs like Flex and Tina T
 his Is Matthew Stone. They feature duelling vocalists Mick Derrick and Li
 nda Steelyard\, who play out an intense soap opera over a ferocious triple
  guitar assault and pummelling rhythm section.\n\nTheir releases have incl
 uded numerous singles and four albums on various labels\, including Cherry
  Red and Radar\, as well as recording four sessions for BBC Radio 1 inclu
 ding 2 Peel sessions. The band has received critical acclaim\, including 
 singles of the week on the BBC Radio 1 evening session and in NME. They h
 ave also toured and shared bills with a diverse array of bands\, including
  Stereolab\, Sebadoh\, Mogwai\, Arab Strap and Sonic Youth. Prolapse hav
 e been writing new material and finishing off recording their fifth album
 . Their Paris Popfest appearance will be the band’s first show in Pari
 s since 1996\, and only their 3rd in France.\n\nLazer Guided Melody blog: 
 “A heady brew of hacking guitars\, Krautrock references\, non sequitur l
 yrics and caustic narrative\; messy and shambolic for sure\, but a self-pr
 ofessed mess\, shaped by the theatricality of girl verses boy vocals\, an
 d a twist of sexual tension embellished with improvised\, nonsensical word
 play.\n\nThe band released four albums between ’94 and ’99 (Pointless 
 Walks To Dismal Places\; backsaturday\; The Italian Flag\; The Ghost of D
 ead Aeroplanes)\, and each still manages to sound not only fresh and re
 levant\, but also urgent\, and very\, very necessary. It has been said\, h
 owever\, that no Prolapse experience can be deemed complete without having
  seen them live\, when every gig felt as if it had been scripted by a quor
 um involving Samuel Beckett\, Hunter S Thompson\, Marjorie Proops and Mark
  E Smith”.\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KAaxMPmlN0[/emb
 edyt]\n\n+ CHOPCHOP: CHOPCHOP’s music veers from super-bumping agit-funk
  to angular jazz-punk and beyond. Led by the gesticulations of Galician pe
 rformance artist Xelís de Toro\, the band churn up a tense and exciting b
 rew of sounds live\, and have been described as “a fantastic life affirm
 ing noise” by Tom Robinson on 6 Music.\n\n“CHOPCHOP’s music snakes r
 ound its orator like a slippery thing\, cymbals replaced by the clatter of
  hubcaps on toms\, cutlery-jammed guitars – there’s an itchy jazzy vib
 e to the melodics\, fuelled by a fertile imagination full of bruised shape
 s and punkish angles. Performance artist Xelís de Toro dances the jagged 
 edges superbly in an urgent\, jerky Giacometti centrepiece that has a Davi
 d Byrne-like drive to his contortions\, enraptured in a stream of consciou
 sness simplicity and a razor-sharp intellect. The sounds that surround him
  are tensive\, built up on darting dynamics\, eerie keys and smeared trump
 et that Schaumburg your head with surprise. A mosaic whole\, crawling and 
 crackling\, mining mantra-like to vocal abstracts that punch out their con
 fines.” – Michael Rodham-Heaps\, FREQ magazine
