DJ's Harold and Mod

About Me

We are Mark Freifeld and Laurel Dickman, music buff historians and queens of... well, Mark's just an old queen. Our mission is to expose esoteric tunes that deserve listening attention and just don't get played by other DJs. We're happy to take requests, but if it is the same damn song being played in every club... we may not play it. We draw from indie rock, new wave, 70s punk, classic rock, electroclash, alt country, trip hop, general electronica, slowcore, prog rock (no rush), hip hop (old school and independent), and your mom. Nightly.

Laurel is moving to Oregon, so we will no longer be performing as Harold & Mod. Hopefully, we will be joining forces again out West within the next few months to a year, but until then keep your eyes peeled for Mark's band, Pirate Prude (http://www.myspace.com/pirateprude).

It may have been a short run, but it was a good run.
