Thursday
~ Birmingham Promoters presents: Wax Fang
Wax Fang is a band from Louisville, KY. Originally a solo project of lead singer and frontman Scott Carney, in 2005 the band was fleshed out by drummer Kevin Ratterman and bassist Jake Heustis. The band came to prominence in 2006 when they opened for fellow Louisvillians My Morning Jacket.

~ Capsule presents: Chrome Hoof + guests
Doom metal, disco, acid house and Donna Summer had a car crash on the highway to oblivion. Chrome Hoof emerged from the wreckage, grooving. Somewhere between 10 and 14 members, depending on who turns up. A combination of primal feeling, virtuosity, theatre, brooding menace, late 70s glamour and large monsters made out of chromed titanium, Chrome Hoof should not really make any sense whatsoever — but they do.

Friday
~ Friendly Fire Sessions presents: Friendly Fire Band feat. Bongo Chilli
One of the UK’s hottest dancehall artists who mixes humour with consciousness, and has recorded with many UK urban producers. Chili has mashed up the Friendly Fire Sessions last year with his “peppery!” DJ style and explosive stage presence, and this month, he will be performing an exclusive set backed by the Friendly Fire Band alongside Lion Art, Pablo Rider and Natural Mystic.

~ Sugarfoot Stomp May Day Special
Well it’s that time of year when we return to nature and embrace the great outdoors- like a favourite uncle who only visits once-annually bearing treats. The theme for this month’s ‘Stomp is inspired by May Day festivals but rather than just crowning a May Queen we will be inventing the May King too. Whoever this happens to be will win some goodies!

Saturday
~ Capsule presents: Wolves in the Throne Room + Tweak Bird
It has been five years since Wolves in the Throne Room emerged from the rain-soaked Cascadian underground with a singular musical alchemy. Characterized by a heavy and powerful analog sound and a deft touch with songwriting and arrangement. The crumbling roar of decidedly old-school tube amps unite with layers of mossy analog synthesizer and cataclysmic percussion.

~ George Powell and Friendly Fire Music present: Back To The Future
A night of Reggae, Revival and Rub a Dub classics in the Hare and Hounds, with some of Birmingham’s finest selectas featuring Special Guests from www.stingdem.com Little Richie
Doco Ranks, Supported by Residents Jam Jah Family.

~ Organic presents: Eddie Piller
Come and catch Eddie playing a very rare Birmingham set, covering many decades and styles of music, that will be sure to have the floor rocking start to finish. Starting his career in the 1980s as part of the English mod revival, Piller launched underground fanzine Extraordinary Sensations and operated as a DJ and concert promoter. Piller has continued to be influential in the underground dance music scene due to many live DJ appearances and his evening radio show on BBC Radio 6.
