Manchester Orchestra announce exclusive 4 date UK tour in July and they come to Birmingham and the Hare & Hounds on July 18th… tickets available now!

See full details here!!

This Thursday the Hare & Hounds plays host to the first ever UK tour for SUBLIME FREQUENCIES with Group Doueh (from the Western Sahara) and Omar Souleyman (from Syria) plus Sublime Frequencies DJ ( including Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls). This show is not to missed!

Sublime Frequencies are presenting some of the greatest expressive music in the world with only one agenda in mind: that it needs to be heard or seen, respected and recognized. This is a rare opportunity to see the two maverick and genuinely great groups from vastly different traditions and influences playing on the same bill.

GAS LAMP KILLER…

So that’s two bank holidays down and two to go!  We had some amazing shows over the bank holiday weekend.  Huge respect to Paul Murphy, Dubmatic, Token Black Kid, Souljazz Orchestra, Crazy P & Futureboogie for some memorable moments. Watch this space for some video highlights and check our facebook group for photographs.

And now on to this week…..

In Venue 1 tonight we’ve got an album launch party for 1 Eye (plus support).  And there’s a roll-over week in the wednesday night quiz so the winners will receive £100.  Space is strictly limited so make sure you’re down early to grab a table.

And then it’s a welcome return for the mighty Dubmatic.  Every show so far has been packed and absolutely rocking so don’t miss out on Birmingham’s finest mid-week dubstep / jungle session.  And don’t forget the White Boy Shit! crew and their darts / guitars hybrid in the back bar from 9pm. 

And then on friday we’ve got two great live shows from World Unlimited & Commercially Inviable.  James Taylor Quartet brings his hammond-led funk to Venue 1, and Dorian Wood jets in from the US for a rare set alongside his UK namesake in Venue 2.

And finally, on saturday the Viva Brazil crew are back for a samba party with live drummers, horn section and more whistles than a referees convention.

 The P in Crazy P stands for….Penis (not perverts, ponchos or Penicillin..but good effort people!)

The winner of 2 free tickets and a £20 bar tab …..is Nikki Dumbleton.

Your name will be on the door (NB You’ll need to be in by 10pm to set-up the bar tab)

For those of you who missed out on the free tickets, don’t delay as they’re selling fast. There will be a few available on the door but it’s looking like they’ll be very limited.

After another great weekend of music at the Hare & Hounds, we thought we’d let you know about some recent confirmations. The legendary DJ / producer Andrew Weatherall will be launching a new night called ” An Evening With…” He’s influenced so many of todays house and techno DJ’s and this promises to be a roadblock (more info will appear in the listings very soon).
Capsule continue their run of ground-breaking live shows with the inimitable Chromehoof. Prepare yourself for an audio visual treat from this astonishing band.
Leftfoot & Funkbox join forces to bring you the mighty Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Having recently been confirmed as the main support for Blur in Hyde Park, this promises to be a memeorable evening. Support comes from the DJ / Vocalist Ben Westbeech.
World Unlimited take a different route for their next live show, with James Taylor Quartet playing their contagious brand of hammond-led funk (including their memorable cover of the Starsky & Hutch theme).

The Bank Holiday weekend started last night with some great live music and DJ’s.   Bohemian Jukebox, Grindhouse & The Other Woman’s Club featured a variety of musical styles over 3 rooms (from Techy Drum & Bass to folk and ska!)

In Venue 1 tonight, Capsule kick things off with live sets from Baroness, Alabaster Suns & Mothertrucker, whilst OpenMindedPeople & Sweat will be taking you “Way Back When” in Venue 2.

On saturday night we’ll be helping World Unlimited celebrate their 20th year, with a live show from Kanda Bongo Man in Venue 1.  Resistor offer a multitude of musical styles with special guest DJ, Jerome Hill in Venue 2.

And then onto Bank Holiday Sunday, when Jibbering will be hosting one of the greatest Reggae vocalists of all time! Horace Andy will be performing tracks from his recent “Inspiration Information” project, alongside collaborator Ashley Beedle and their band. Tickets have nearly sold out so be quick if you don’t want to miss it.  In Venue 2 Funkatronic have live music from Gran Torino and DJ’s Dani C & Lopan.
