ART POP NIGHT AT MASCARA BAR 💥🫧💥 TURTLE BOULEVARD, INDUSTRY STANDARD & BALDERDASCH LIVE + a premiere of Turtle Boulevard's 'Pylon Lover' music video, Ukrainian folk songs from co-director SOLOMIA DZHUROVSKA and a presentation on 'Denpa' ))) by film historian ELLISHA IZUMI. ☎️🔧 Industry StandardIndustry Standard are a London based four piece, noted for being as unyielding in their songwriting as they are in their visual narrative. Warped, discordant riffs merge with disco-infused rhythms. Immersive storytelling and DIY theatrics form an uncanny world, where the seemingly comedic surface gives way to something intimate and raw. Part punk show, part relentless carnival, their Cuban American figurehead Gaby displays the fearless charisma of an unhinged gameshow host, leading an all-engrossing explosion of sound and imagery over a backdrop of self-professed 'Wonky Tonk Swamp Pop™'
Her captivating signature costume changes and hand made props (including a rewired telephone microphone) create a cartoon-like spectacle, as joy filled as it is unsettling, where witty one-liners lead abruptly into vulnerable lyricism. Uninhibited transparency acts as a call to arms - 'unify through shared experience'. Powerful social commentary, ranging from the monotony of social expectation to environmental collapse, sucks you into a pumping artery then spits you out into a pool of exhausted self-reflection.

https://linktr.ee/Industry_Standard ℹ️😀Balderdasch London-based, Cork native Balderdasch is carving out a unique niche with her experimental alt-pop sound. Her debut EP Control the Ending landed on the 25th of September and is a captivating blend of electric guitar, off-kilter samples, and intricate lyricism. The release saw support from BBC Introducing London, BBC Radio 6’s Steve Lamacq, and features on Rough Trade’s Counter Culture playlist, DIY's @ The Neu Playlist and Line of Best Fit’s New Music Discovery. The six track work was co-produced with saxophonist Pete Wareham of Melt Yourself Down.
Like contemporaries such as Jockstrap and Sorry, Balderdasch's live performances defie easy comparison. Her immersive live sets often see her smacking hotel bells and singing three-part harmonies alongside her 'women in STEM’. With her inclusion as one of the 50 showcasing acts at Ireland Music Week 2024, Balderdasch is poised to make a significant impact in 2025. Her idiosyncratic set in Dublin in October was remarked by Nialler9 as having “truly cool oddball sounds and songs”.

https://linktr.ee/balderdasch  🛣️🕴️Turtle Boulevard Turtle Boulevard is a London based artist from suburban Crawley, known for his arch ironical vocal delivery and surreal, storycentric songwriting. Following a show supporting Mozart Estate at the Lexington, one audience member compared his stage persona to that of a Hammer Horror actor.
Turtle's sound shifts between a contemporary take on the 1950s Pop of Joe Meek productions and Adam Faith to diversions through psychedelia, jazz and chanson. Struggling to define his sound, Turtle has settled on the genre: Engima Pop
Tonight marks the launch of Turtle's full band lineup and the premiere of a music video for his first single Pylon Lover.

Since then the meet-ups have expanded and grown and she has been hosting regular Spivanka (Singing) sessions at the Old Diorama Arts Centre in Camden with both Ukrainian and non Ukrainian speakers. Solomia will perform a couple of quirky and cheerful Ukrainian folk songs tonight with accompaniment on Clarinet by Dmytro Fonariuk. See Solomia's instagram for clips from her sessions:

‘Denpa is a Japanese word that means electromagnetic wave or radio wave. Within the genre, characters tune into these waves and feel their effects: they sense things, hear voices and see spectres. The stories of Chiaki J. Konaka begin this way, including his Lovecraft-inspired psychological horror Serial Experiments Lain (1998) and Marebito (2004). The characters are susceptible to the waves due to alienation caused by their oppressive surroundings which is depicted through a distinct, industrial aesthetic: antennas, chain link fences, telephone poles, a web of powerlines across the sky, trains, manholes and sewers, grainy and distorted footage, a muted colour palette.'
An excerpt from Ellisha's Cinema Year Zero essay.
