Upset The Rhythm presents?
CURRENT AFFAIRS
Wednesday 26 July
The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, London, N1 9JB
7.30pm | £8.00
CURRENT AFFAIRS are a band from Glasgow marrying 80s pop sensibilities with ferocious post-punk, neatly navigating the line between new wave and goth. Though Joan Sweeney (ex-Rose McDowall?s Band, Aggi Doom, The Royal We) is a lifer, Sebastian Ymai (Comidillo Tapes, Pissy, Anxiety) came from Chile via York, recently relocating to Berlin in 2021, and new member Gemma Fleet (The Wharves, Order of the Toad, Dancer) alongside Andrew Milk (Shopping, Pink Pound) were persuaded to leave London for the ?second city? after touring through with previous bands. However, Glasgow is the heart and hub of the band?s music, musical life and the place where forthcoming album Off the Tongue (Tough Love) was solidified and produced.
Written from within the world of crumbling services, broken bonds and wounded spirits, Off the Tongue rolls off an ecstatic rage, filled with hope for you, them and everyone else. It?s a rallying cry away from hopelessness, forgiving your fears and laying them to waste. Their album holds a place for you to be angry and to be focused. In lieu of having anything else, we?ve always got each other, and an uncertain future is open game for us too.

The Lexington is a classic London boozer turned lounge bar, with a hint of Kentucky charm and lashings of rock & roll excess. Enjoy award winning food served up with our favourite American craft beers or just lounge around in our baroque mezzanine exploring the best bourbon selection in London. If you like it a little bit louder, head upstairs for the latest and greatest bands in our live venue. Then dance the night away with our family of music loving DJs, playing everything from 20s jazz to the newest indie through the sea of counter-cultural sounds into the wee small hours.
The Lexington is an early Victorian building and as such is not easily accessible for anyone with limited mobility. While the main bar is on the ground floor and accessible without steps the music venue is up a flight of stairs. We’re happy to help with access where possible.
