'football' is a gig night which happens at cafe saki in manchester and is run by chris holden and james betts. we used to run a night called 'transition' in lancaster which was loads of fun as we got to put on some bands we really like such as parts & labor, dartz!, itch, jeniferever, the longcut, that fucking tank, gofaster>>, cowtown, maps, this aint vegas, napoleon IIIrd and others. but then we moved to manchester and got bored of the name 'transition' so fancied a change. we really, really want the gigs to be fun and for people to have a good time. hopefully we come close to achieving this in some sort of way. we also hope you can make one... x

NLF3's music has been described as "a kitsch This Heat" by The Wire, and compared for its rhythms to a 2009 version of the Ege Bamayasi-era of Can. The Guardian even spoke of them as "a Radiohead seduced by the idea of live improvisation". The members of NLF3 - F.lor, Mitch and Don Nino - name influences as varied as Pierre Henry, Fela Kuti, Steve Reich, Ennio Moricone, as well as Syd Barrett, Zappa, Fantomas, Aphex Twin, and Sonic Youth. Strange gurus indeed, for a music that, after all these comparisons, still sounds unique. NLF3 is the story of three music lovers – two brothers in blood and a third in spirit – united by the same passion: to make music, record it and take it all around the world. In that regard, their kinship with Battles and Animal Collective, with whom they have toured, seems perfectly natural - they all belong to the same generation of musicians and have the same desire to discover new territory, to explore new possibilities and to bring together past and future. It comes as no surprise either that the brothers F.lor and Don have lived in Germany as well as the US, and have spent some time in Nigeria where their father introduced them to the great Fela Kuti and others like the sculptor Twin Seven Seven. www.myspace.com/nlf3
