Habit VS Reverb

Habit has now firmly established itself as one of the hottest parties on the Birmingham house scene. Now into their third year the HABIT boys have developed a party based on a very simple ethos, that aims to get back to the origins of dance music… having some fun!

http://www.chicksdigjerks.com/

Chicks Dig Jerks are promoters, party hosts & djs, doing their thing in brum since 2002.

They’ve put on gigs for everyone from Liars to Klaxons to Chromeo to the Gossip, had all sorts of DJs play from Brodinski to Filthy Dukes, DJ Medhi, Rioutous Rockers and more. They know how to throw a good party… including Birmingham’s infamous fun party HOTT DATE.

reverb was born on Good Friday 2008 at the infamous after hours club Rootys in the Custard Factory complex. Local lads Chris Bridge and Ollie Disney simply wanted to throw a party for friends and their friends to enjoy a diverse selection of dance music with no boundaries, fun being the aim of the game, no run-of-the-mill funky house, no chin stroking techno, just pure party music whether it be Sneak influenced jackin house or old piano led house from the disco magic label.

It’s our  first Christmas at the Hare & Hounds!

In true Soul Food fashion we’ll celebrate this through the medium of great food and great music…

We’ll be decking out the back bar, Dubber will be dusting off the soul, jazz and funk and the kitchen will be serving ‘Thanksgiving’ styled dinners.

You can expect the likes of Baked Ham, Purity Mad Goose glazed Turkey and classic roasted butternut squash, as well as chowder, meatballs, sweet potato pies, bread and butter pudding and beyond! Basically……….It’s gonna be amazing.

All tickets will be valid for the rescheduled performance and full refunds will be made to anyone who is unable to make this date.
