NEWS: Mixtape Sixth Birthday @ The Keys, Middlesbrough

One of the longest running alt. music nights in Middlesbrough, Mixtape have been providing musical kicks at The Keys on Linthorpe Road for six years. Run by the inimitable Henry Carden, who strives to provide stonking line-ups of wide and varying musical genres at the club every week, Mixtape’s February line-up continues to provide some superb acts.

Kicking off in style with local indie pop scamps Collectors Club and indie alt. rockers Street Party In Soho (Tuesday 3^rd); the rock ‘n’ roll infused hip-hop of Bi:Lingual (Tuesday 10^th); and alt. pop rockers Serinette plus songwriter Joe Ramsey (Tuesday 17^th) before the party well and truly gets going on Tuesday 24^th February thanks to the Krautrock garage stylings of The Vryll Society. The Liverpudlian band are gaining plaudits from far and wide – they were named number 10 in Loaded magazine’s recent new music feature – and have recently finished some support slots with indie rock darlings Peace. They’re ably assisted by the epic post-rock stylings of Abel Raise The Cain, who will ensure the celebrations go off with a bang.

Mixtape’s Sixth Birtday celebrations take place on Tuesday 3rd, Tuesday 10th, Tuesday 17th and Tuesday 24th February at The Keys, Middlesbrough.
