DESCRIPTION:(Standing tickets - Main Hall) - Upset The Rhythm presents…T
 HE CLEANERS FROM VENUSWednesday 30 SeptemberIslington Assembly Hall\, Uppe
 r St\, London\, N1 2UD7pm | £18THE CLEANERS FROM VENUS will be performing
  this Autumn in London. Martin Newell will be on guitar and piano\, joined
  by Nelson Surfquake Nice - an original member of Cleaners back in the 80s
 \, and half of The Brotherhood of Lizards alongside Martin. The group will
  be performing some classic Cleaners songs\, with a Brotherhood of Lizards
  cameo-set thrown in!Martin Newell is a purveyor of ingenious pop music. H
 is music is refracted from late 60s rock only shot through with invention 
 from the rough-and-ready explosion of DIY tape releases in 80s Britain. As
  a songwriter\, he’s right up there with Syd Barrett and Ray Davies\, ca
 pturing a peculiar Englishness that’s very much his own. Martin started 
 his career in music aged 19 when he joined an Essex glam-rock band called 
 The Mighty Plod as a singer and gigged in rough clubs\, pubs and colleges 
 for the next two years. In his early twenties he joined a hard rock/prog b
 and from Ipswich called Gypp and gigged in the UK as well as touring north
 ern Germany several times. In 1979\, he won his first record contract and 
 shortly afterwards his first single ‘Young Jobless / Sylvie In Toytown
 ’ was released\, first on an indie label and then with Liberty Records. 
 In the 1980s he formed the anarchic and wonderfully offbeat Cleaners From 
 Venus\, who after much defiance of music biz convention\, signed to a Lond
 on record company and began making proper records which were well reviewed
  and well-received. He began co-writing songs with Captain Sensible in 198
 6\, a relationship which endures to some extent to this day. In 1989 he an
 d his friend Nelson\, now of New Model Army formed The Brotherhood of Liza
 rds\, were signed to make an album and proceeded to promote it\, touring t
 he record by bicycle. This led to many TV appearances and some notoriety a
 nd amusement in the media. In 1993\, with XTC's Andy Partridge in the prod
 ucer's chair Martin made what was to become his most successful album ‘T
 he Greatest Living Englishman’\, hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as a r
 ock classic. Over the last ten years Martin has continued to release exhil
 arating albums under his own name and as Cleaners from Venus\, most recent
 ly a winsome new Cleaners album called ‘K7’ was released on CD and cas
 sette.A highly-entertaining live act\, Martin Newell performs infrequently
 \, refusing nowadays to tour at all. He has been the subject of a highly-p
 raised documentary film Upstairs Planet (2019) which enjoyed premieres bot
 h in London and in New York. A second documentary The Jangling Man\, the d
 irector James Sharp’s intimate portrait of Newell’s life and work\, pr
 emiered in London and Los Angeles in October 2022. The Cleaners From Venus
  track ‘Corridor of Dreams’ was just featured in the film ‘Smashing 
 Machine’.https://www.cleanersfromvenus.com/\n\nBoletos: https://wegottic
