Goldenvoice UK bring American psychedelic rock band Wand to the Hare & Hounds on the 29th January 2017 as part of their UK tour.

Having formed in 2013, the band recently announced their fourth studio album ‘Plum’, due to be released this coming September. Describing it as a ‘key hole peek-a-boo’ into a library of improvisations recorded from March to late December 2016, we are hugely excited to hear their latest work. It is without a doubt that we expect huge things to come from this group of very talented musicians.

Check out the music video for their title track of the album ‘Plum’ below:

We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw will be bringing down F*ck Buttons co-founder, Andrew Hung, to the Hare & Hounds on Thursday 16th November.

Hung recently announced his debut solo album, Realisationship, which is due out this October via Lex. Realisationship will be the first record to feature Hung’s singing voice. The album’s opening track, “Say What You Want,” signals a sharp turn towards a pastoral guitar sound that eschews the electronic noise of Fuck Buttons. “I can’t completely identify with the voice on the record,” he says. “Yes, it’s me, but it’s not me. Singing as an expression is very new to me… I see an oscillation between myself and the character of the album, especially the voice. It’s naked vulnerable duality.”

We’re delighted to announce that Bristol based Soeur will be playing the Hare & Hounds on Monday 18th September!

Breaking hard-rock down to its simplest, most fundamental form, Sœur are a brutal, soulful assault on the senses. Bound together and battle-hardened by an experience & appreciation of the fringes of British rock music, Anya Pulver, Tina Maynard & James Collins have already found their incendiary live shows selling out in dive bars and clubs across their native South West. With vocal lines that tangle & intertwine, riffs so substantial they’ve got their own post code, and a beat – provided by former Maybeshewill drummer James Collins – that ties everything down with industrial power, this is a sound of colossal proportions.

Check out their track ‘No Fire’ below:

Chastity Brown & Otis Gibbs play at the Hare & Hounds this Sunday in a special double header that brings together two of the most respected contemporary American roots music artists to Birmingham for one night only.

Now based in Minnesota but with roots in the Deep South, Chastity Brown has the “ability to distill Southern blues and plaintive North Country prairie influences into expansive, alluring folk songs” (The Current). She is a powerful new voice with the ability to warm, comfort and challenge. She’s been hailed by NPR, CMT, American Songwriter, The London Times, and Paste Magazine as a songwriter to watch and has appeared on UK television on Later… with Jools Holland. Her new album ‘Silhouette Of Sirens’ is receiving glowing reviews across the board & she’ll be supporting Ani DiFranco in the UK later this month.

Otis Gibbs is a songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer and planter of 7,176 trees. He once wrestled a bear, and lost. He has been described as “The best unknown songwriter in music today.” If you ask him, he’ll simply say he’s a Folk Singer. A modern day Woody Guthrie, his songs based in people experience and their struggles. Strong in socialist beliefs – some truths you may not like, he cares not: you are going to hear ’em anyway! Put Gibbs in the company of Bob Dylan, The Clash, and Chuck Berry.

We’re delighted to announce that Kilimanjaro Live will be bringing Jacob Banks to the H&H on Wednesday 13th December.

Straight off the back of his storming, soul-shredding debut EP The Boy Who Cried Freedom, UK future soul star Jacob Banks announces a world tour that will take the 25 year-old Birmingham-born artist across Europe, on to North America and then back to the UK for his biggest headline shows to date, commencing in October. A truly captivating live performer, Jacob’s shows have a habit of selling out within hours of being announced. With new music in the pipeline, some of his most striking work to date, it’s safe to say that Jacob Banks won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Check out the video for his latests single ‘Unholy War’ below;

We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be welcoming Dub Pistols to the H&H on Saturday 16th December.

As they gear up to celebrate 20 years of riotous marauding, the Dub Pistols are prepping their seventh album Crazy Diamonds in 2017 and there’ll be a documentary about the band dropping at some point in the year, too. And they’ll be out on the road, as usual, of course — the hardest working band in showbiz. A kinda 21st century equivalent of 2-Tone acts The Specials or The Beat, the Dub Pistols are the quintessential festival band. Coming over a bit like if King Tubby and The Skatalites bumped into Terry Hall at a Goldie gig, the Dubs have reached their two decade milestone with a lot of ups and downs along the way.  They’ve worked with vocal legends like Rodney P, Busta Rhymes, Gregory Isaacs, Terry Hall, Lindy Layton, Akala and Horace Andy, while the band’s mainstays are fiercely loyal and dedicated. An unorthodox collective of musicians who each have their own personal interests and solo projects, when they come together to form the Dub Pistols some dubwise magic happens. Check out the video for their single ‘Real Gangster’ below;

We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw will be bringing Hazel English to the H&H on Sunday 21st May.

Like any flailing twenty-something, Oakland-based Australian Hazel English feels an anxiety-inducing lack of control. The kind you feel when relocating over 12,000 miles across the globe, knowing all but no one in your new home. The “out of control” that exists when building a music career in foreign territory, relying on musicians you meet at local shows to help get your footing. You can put your best self forward and hope for the best, but the universe will ultimately decide if what you want becomes reality. (As someone who recently moved far away from home for the first time, I know this firsthand). On her debut EP Never Going Home, produced by Day Wave’s Jackson Phillips, English croons softly over hazy guitars and synths about accepting life’s uncertainty and the powerlessness we feel over the way it plays out. Check out the video for the single ‘Never Going Home’ below;

Ed will be playing material from both EPs released in 2016 by London label Music Mandi, plus some new songs, and is set to be joined by friends on stage for a host of collaborations. Check out the video for his single ‘Symmetry’ below;

In following his musical horizon, Felix Riebl has sung, danced, hooted, hollered, loved, shouted, sweated and danced from hundreds of stages, in scores of countries. The lithe, charismatic, and gentle Melbournian has always exuded the joie de vivre and boundless love of music one associates with a life lived long, full and well.

As the co-founder and long-time front man of The Cat Empire, Riebl has spun the magic of his musical vision around the globe since his late teens, firmly establishing himself as one of our most passionate, durable, and genuinely engaging musical ambassadors.

But with the release of his second full solo album Paper Doors (following 2011’s well received, rock-oriented album Into the Rain) Felix makes the rare quiet spaces and simple still places add up to something rare and special. After years of navigating the surreal, body-trashing banality, and momentary bliss of tour life, he’s peering over his shoulder to re-glimpse the experience. Check out the video for his latest single ‘Wasting Time Below’;

Wolverhampton’s God Damn celebrate the release of their new album Everything Ever, following recent dates supporting Red Fang, Torche & Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes.

Featuring recent single, ‘Sing This’, which launched as Daniel P Carter’s Rockest Record on BBC Radio 1, as well as album highlights ‘Ghost’, dubbed “louder than Black Sabbath having a screaming row with Nirvana” by the NME, and ‘Fake Prisons’, which DIY Magazine described as “a stomping introduction”, Everything Ever is a 13 track behemoth of artfully crafted noise-pop.

Picking up further praise from Kerrang!, Popmatters, Punktastic, Upset Magazine, Team Rock and more, the band have delivered a second album so smart, so irresistible, so made-for-radio, so slips-down-the-ears-so-easily-you-barely-notice-it’s-trying-to-slit-yer-throat that even your granny will be whistling the likes of ‘Dead To Me’ before Christmas.
