Hare And Hounds

Birmingham Promoters proudly presents 3 incredible bands!!
Headlining are local favourites Rogue States, some bands aspire to greatness; chasing big sounds and big ideas in an attempt to resonate. For others, it just happens to them. The big ideas they wrestle with lyrically, like the widescreen, stadium guitars which back them, are there because the instant pop songs they set out to write got hijacked by questions and circumstance. The soaring melodies and driving anthems, like the obvious U2/Coldplay/Snow Patrol comparisons, are there because that’s just what happens when feeling and towering choruses meet.

Support comes from local band Black Dollar Bills – a 4 piece Birmingham band with gritty blues riffs, crashing rhythms and hoarse vocals. Taking influences from bands past and present we hope to create a sound that will keep everyone on their toes. Even ourselves! Looking to really push things forward in 2010 and show people what we are made of!
