We have received an email from Steve Lawler’s agent informing us that this gig will have to be postponed until December (Fri 4th has been pencilled for now but we’re awaiting confirmation).  Although this is a decision made by the artist and his agent (not the venue or promoter), we’d still like to apologise on their behalf for any inconvenience caused.  

Contact the ticketsellers for refunds or hold on to your tickets until we have confirmed the december date.

After a short break recovering from our annual festival Supersonic, Capsule are back at the Hare & Hounds, kicking back into full gear with ELECTRIC WIZARD, described by many as the heaviest band in the world!
Crushing doom, a sonic aural trip far, far away from this world, where only cyclopean walls of crackling vintage valve amplifiers set to the full overdrive and primal ritualistic beats can wash away all the filth and drudgery of everyday life.
Their sound is a crushing behemoth of funeral march psychedelia. Violent, bleak and ritualistic, we bow to the black altar of the RIFF.

Joined by Canadian flute-tinged witch rock band, BLOODY CEREMONY – think Jethro Tull meets Sabbath.

Blood Ceremony

At least one of these treats must be tempting enough to entice you out:

Thursday 6th August

Tonight we’ve got the ‘progressive’ Mr Cricket, who’ll be supported with ‘introspective retrospection’ from Is I Cinema, Pitseleh and Anna Burge from Brummieland. These four inventive, unconventional local acts will no doubt make for a night that will open your eyes and ears.

Friday 7th August

Moseley Folk present The Lunar Society, who have teamed up with The Local to bring you an evening of 3 great live acts – the ‘Gypsy Freddie Mercury’ David Thomas Broughton, She Keeps Bees and Tom Peel.

Or you could join Whomanity who present Rhubarb In Session, ‘a night of real root vibrations’ whilst supporting the Birmingham community Rhubarb Radio Station.

Saturday 8th August

Get your groove on with the legendary Colin Curtis funking things up with northern soul, jazz-funk and house. Residents Frenchie, Bruce Q and Tony T will also be keeping the beat going.

Or if you fancy a feast for the eyes and ears try Cinephonic, where Skeleton and Dolhasz will be taking you on a road trip full of beats and breaks. Resident DJ Mark Reck will be hitching a lift.
