NFR is also a live band club night on the SECOND FRIDAY of every month at THE HOPE where we play all sorts of music for dancing to, like Neon-Diskko, Ghetto-Electro, Mutant-Indie, Cosmic-Psych, Feral-Rock and more - all future musick.

You should also know about The International Mixtape Project : The greatest organisation ever. Thanks Ryan. Join up and get involved in the biggest mixtape swapping group in the world that covers the whole world. Do it. You never know what you're going to get. Here's the last few I've sent out:
March’s mix isn’t that revolutionary a concept, but it suddenly occurred to me that almost all my favourite bands of the moment are in fact two pieces. In fact, this was so unforced I didn’t even have to consider the White Stripes for a second. Ha! There’s so many other tracks that I couldn’t fit on this one, that it looks like next months is going to be the sequel.

February’s IMP mix was the third installment of my special IMP NFR mixes. I make one every 8 months so it seems (for no discernable reason, but that’s how it’s worked out). Of all the demos we’ve been playing at Not For Resale over the last 8 months, these are pretty much the best ones.

January’s IMP mix was a bit of a flailing one, I didn’t have too many ideas so thought it was about time I did my own covers album. Everyone seems to do one at some point, so here’s mine.
