We're starting off a series of irregular 'Lost My Dog present...' nights up in Middlesbrough. First up... Sat 20th OctoberLost My Dog present... Rhythm PlatePurple Onion, Middlesbrough £7 (some free passes available if you go to Purple Onion websiteRhythm Plate consist of Ant Plate and Matt Rhythm, two friends who met at school through a mutual love of shoplifting and warm real ale. Plate constantly varies in age and Rhythm gets younger by the day. Hailing from the beautifully backward peak district town of Matlock , in Derbyshire, they began recording their efforts on a borrowed 8-track tape player down in the local bus station. Early attempts at pop stardom, however, were hampered by the duo's crippling tourette's syndrome. After conquering the bourgeoning village hall/pub scene in Matlock they set their sights on taking over the midlands through collaborations with Mantis (Derby), DiY and Winding Road (Nottingham), Flat & Round (Manchester) and Procreation (Birmingham) - they find the transpeak bus service a particularly useful way of getting to gigs - and then eventually the world, by releasing material on record labels "not from 'round 'ere" such as San Diego's Bluem, San Francisco's Roam and Portland's own, Losofono (LSF). YSE is one half of Rhythm Plate and has had huge success on Lost My Dog with two EPs "Bounce Back" and "Not Wot You Got". Rhythm Plate have also remixed Pete Dafeet for the label. At present Plate sells deep house insurance and Rhythm is a dancer. Should the need arise they are both willing to travel to DJing gigs with their much-sought-after collection of cassette singles at the ready.
