While Upset the Rhythm has made a name for itself in its native UK as the label that perpetually rocks the late nite party, on this side of the pond, its better known for putting out a bunch of awesome -- if relatively unknown -- outfits such as Lucky Dragons, Future Islands, Hands on Heads and John Maus. This summer, the London-based label is taking rare departure of its hometown, and bringing a substantial part of its roster with it. UTR will be putting on shows in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco at the start of July, each with a differing lineup of bands. Technically, each showcase is actually a record release party for Foot Village, whose album Anti-Magic will be out on UTR in July. Sure, only hitting three cities along the American East and West Coasts won't change the label's rep in the States, but we'll take the party where we can get it.

Lineups are as follows:

NEW YORK
Friday, July 3 at Monster Island Basement
Ambergris / Lucky Dragons / Silk Flowers / Bird Names / Soft Circle / John Maus / Future Islands / Wet Hair (Shawn from Racoo-oo-oon)

LOS ANGELES
Saturday, July 11 at The Smell
