Hare and Hounds

Friday 27th August
Bunka – Free Party
Residents and Friends feat…

Jonny Costello, Paolo Riozzi, Matt Tilley, Hog, Jordan Fittz

As we mark a year on from our first party at the Hare and Hounds, we want to reward our loyal regulars, friends, residents and one time only passers through with a FREE party to thank you for your support!

Over the last 12 months after having moved on from the Bulls head we have strived to bring something that we firmly believe this city has been missing… A regular Techno party with quality world renowned bookings, at a reasonable price and a crowd buzzing with enthusiasm for the music. Where legendary nights such as Atomic Jam set the precedent for Birminghams’ strong roots in the sound, they continue to attract thousands of revelers the country over a few times a year, many dewy eyed at the memories they muster. House of God will also continue to cater for the harder contingent where techno borders on the industrial with their renegade attitude that can’t be imitated. Lets not forget the recent rise in popularity almost to cult status of a particular techno label taking its name from a certain district that should indicate how important this music is for the city.

We asked Billy Nasty to open proceedings for us back in July 2009 (many of you that were there will confirm just how much of a party starter that guy really is!), we followed up by bringing a legend (and personal hero) to the Hare, DJ Rolando rocked the pub across 4 decks and a mixer Detroit style! Oliver Ho kicked off the year in February to one of our busiest events yet and to this day we still get people telling us how much they enjoyed themselves.

Then came April, it could so easily have been a disaster, volcanic eruptions are not something you expect to have to deal with when promoting Techno parties, but it presented a situation of sink or swim and some quick thinking secured us James Ruskin responsible for Blueprint Records, Valmay, and another artist with strong links to Surgeon, Sandwell and the early Birmingham scene. Having had to cancel Par Grindvik It ended up being a thousand times better than we imagined, still full at the end and giving the security plenty of verbal for “one more”. June was a difficult one, a nation gripped in football fever and frustrated at their outcome, we invited along Dave Angel to blast away the tension with a set of relentless machine soul and grooving techno, again a true hero of the scene always game for the party and humbled by the crowds warm reception to him…a proper geezer.

If you have shared in all or one of these parties then we thank you for your support, and if you are still to see what all the fuss is about then we recommend you join us on the 27th to kick off your Bank Holiday in style. The invisible entrance fee should keep your wallet a bit FATTER, and the music as always will be of the most current, credible and dance inducing. We will return in November with the same quality headliners you have come to expect, and a view to some exciting new projects in 2011.

Thank you

Peas!
