We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw & Moseley Folk Festival will be joining forces to bring Algeria’s Imarhan to the H&H on Wednesday 3rd August.

Touring in support of their self titled debut album Imarhan are intent on dismantling the ideas western listeners have about popularized Tuareg music. This new wave of Tuareg musicians sound very different to the desert distortion that accompanies groups like Mdou Moctar or Group Inerane. Instead, it finds a calm and passionate soul, provides sumptuous slow burners, and a complexity of composition that hasn’t been demonstrated by previous music exported from the Saharan people’s musical repertoire. Check out the video for their single ‘Imarhan’ below;

Leftfoot join forces with THSH to bring Mammal Hands to the Hare & Hounds next Thursday 2nd June in support of their latest album ‘Floa’.

Mammal Hands are a trio of like-minded musicians: Nick Smart piano, Jesse Barrett drums and tabla, and Jordan Smart saxophones. Floa is their second album for Gondwana Records and in the 18 months since their debut, Animalia, they have carved out a growing following both here and abroad for their hypnotic fusion of jazz, folk and electronica: winning fans from Bonobo and Gilles Peterson to Jamie Cullum. Landmark live performances have included shows at King’s Place in London and the RNCM in Manchester, as well as a barn-storming debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival (where they debuted as part of the BBC Introducing showcase). Check out the video for their single ‘Mansions of Millions Of Years’ below;

This Is Tmrw bring New York based two piece, Diet Cig to the Hare & Hounds tomorrow night

After beginning as a casual project between Alex Luciano (guitar) and Noah Bowman (drums), Diet Cig have made a big statement out of five highly infectious pop songs. The pair met under rather unusual circumstances: Luciano, desperate for a lighter, interrupted the set of Bowman’s other band, Earl Boykins. No lighter was to be found, but a friendship was sparked and Diet Cig was born. The duo’s February 2015 debut EP, Over Easy, consists of lyrics written by Luciano in her bedroom. While recalling the sound of speedy twee-pop groups like Tiger Trap and All Girl Summer Fun Band, the record explores “the innocence of adolescence and infatuation.” With Bowman’s crashing drum kit offering stationary support, Luciano becomes an onstage tornado as lines between band and audience blur into a massive dance party. Check out the video for their single ‘Dinner Date’ below;

Homeshake is the pseudonym and solo project of Edmonton-born, Montreal-based musician Peter Sagar. As follow up to his 2014 debut In the Shower, Homeshake will be touring in support of his latest full length offering  ‘Midnight Snack’ which was recorded with Jackson MacIntosh at the Drones club in Montreal. Musically this time around Sagar trades in his guitar for synthesizers and a drum machine, developing vocal arrangements from loops he created for his solo set. He pulled influence from house pioneers like Chip E and Mr. Fingers as well as Japanese pop starlets like Chiemi Manabe, slowing down the tempo with his own homemade drowsiness. The resulting collection is an eclectic tangle of personal anecdotes steeped in an everlasting reverence of D’Angelo and R Kelly. Check out the single ‘Heat’ below;

Leftfoot will be brining the Owiny Sigoma Band to the Hare & Hounds on Tuesday 24th May in support of their latest album offering ‘Nyanza’.

The album is the third offering from the cross-cultural, boundary surpassing Owiny Sigoma Band. A complex, constantly evolving, musical relationship now in its fifth year, the project has seen the band producing music in both Kenya, for their self-titled 2009 album, and in London with the second Power Punch LP. The group features Nyatiti master Joseph Nyamungu and Lou percussionist Charles Owoko, both from the Nyanza Province in Western Kenya, as well as London-based musicians Tom Skinner (drums), Jesse Hackett (vox/keys) and Louis Hackett (bass). Check out the documentary of the making of the album below;

This Is Tmrw will be bringing Mothers (Wichita Records) to the H&H this Monday 23rd May.

The Athens, GA-based quartet will be touring in support of their debut album ‘When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired’ released via Wichita Records on February 26th. Produced by Drew Vandenberg – who has worked on albums by Of Montreal, Deerhunter and Porcelain Raft – at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia in December 2014, ‘When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired’ features collaborations with Josh McKay of Deerhunter on vibraphone as well as McKendrick Bearden of Grand Vapids, who played bass and provided string arrangements throughout. Comprised of eight songs – the majority of which were written while Leschper was finishing art school in early 2014 – Mothers’ debut LP is an introduction to the foundations of the young band, a snapshot of a particular period of their genesis that maps both where they began and where they are heading. Check out the video for their latest single ‘It Hurts Until It Doesn’t’ below;

Street food innovators Digbeth Dining Club return to Kings Heath for another Hare & Hounds and York Road street closure this Sunday 22nd May.

Starting at 11am York Road, just outside the Hare, will play host to 12 of DCC and Birmingham’s finest street food vendors including Bare Bones Pizza, Bournville Waffle co, The English Indian, The meat shack, Canoodle, Open Sesame, Baked in Brick, Becky’s Bhajis, Esmie’s, The Kebab Cartel & Low N Slow

Accompanying the menu of tasty treats will be a soundtrack provided by a number of DCC and Leftfoot resident DJs who’ll be spinning on the street as well the Off The Scale Clothes Bus, Record stalls provided by Moseley Record Fair (www.moseleyrecordfair.com) and a selection of Craft & Art stalls.

Danny Vaughn, Frontman of cult New Jersey Rockers, Tyketto, and Dan Reed, founder and leader of the influential Dan Reed Network, will join forces again on a joint tour which see these two iconic frontmen appear together at the Hare & Hounds on Wednesday 18th May.

This will be an intimate acoustic evening with a difference; instead of each artist performing their full set on a rotational basis, both Dan and Danny will take the stage together for an evening of music and chat, with each artist performing their own songs, joining in with each other, telling joint stories and triggering a setlist based on the flow of conversation. So, it’s guaranteed that no two shows will be the same. Check them our performing the single ‘Holy Diver’ live below;
