FUR will be playing some unplugged Rap Phantasm as part of the Soul Rub set at the launch of issue 5 of Inc magazine which has just been recommended by Time Out as THE thing to do.

See below for blurbature:

To celebrate the launch of the fifth issue of inc. magazine – a poetry and illustration zine based in Hackney – we’re throwing another one of our Time Out and Guardian recommended poetical parties. Last time we packed out a sweaty basement in East London in what can only be described as a poetry rave. This time it’s going to be even bigger and better (though hopefully not as sweaty…)

This issue is The Postcard Issue, featuring a collection of poems written from the most unlikely of places, by poets such as Hollie McNish, Raymond Antrobus, Angry Sam and many many more. Illustrations come courtesy of the fantastic Sister Arrow, Tom Edwards and Lorna Scobie as well as plenty of other talented artists.

Get down at 7pm sharp to check out the live illustration and write your own postcard poem while DJ Vinyl Matt spins some tunes!

£5 entry includes your very own copy of issue #5 fresh off the presh!

Check out the new silk smooth EP from Nightfly, candle-burning nocturnal member of the Soul Rub Fam. Track 3 ‘Going Nowhere’ has a little feature from yours truly.

If you’ve been wondering when you can next see FUR live –  as you clearly have – we will be emerging, after a month spent on the downlow avoiding the April deluge of doom, throughout the summer months at a number of venues and festivals, where if everything goes to plan we will rendez-vous with the sun at anointed venues for hip-hop o clock. If not we will hook you up with something intense and quasi-spiritual anyway. Here’s what’s been lined up so far. More to come.

Sunday, May 27th - Hifi Club, Leeds

Saturday, June 9th - Servant’s Jazz Quarters, Dalston

Tuesday, June 12th -  Good Ship, Kilburn

Friday, June 29th - Leefest, Highams Hill Farm, Bromley/Croydon

Saturday, July 7th - Passing Clouds, Dalston

Totally beautiful song with amazing locked-in guitar work.

We’ve been studying!

Happy Easter/Passover!

SOAS Detainee Support presents…

The Release Team invite fresh faces and old souls down to Jamm to offer another exciting line up. On their last visit to the venue in October, they took the roof off with an array of brilliant live bands and DJs and this party will be no different.

With all proceeds go to supporting asylum seekers and refugees, get involved, hit the dance floor and know you are partying for all the right reason!

“Fur - Fur E.P.
Rock solid E.P. of live HipHop greatness that brings to mind the first Roots album and Breakestra but Fur have the knack of making the live hiphop sound their own…In amongst that funk percussion and groove-laden instrumentation we have snatches of dub echo, breaks and some fantastic vocals (as well as flows)…Very limited and recommended too! Snap this up fast!” JUMBO RECORDS
