Introducing Merchandise - Tuesday 20th August

This is Tmrw continue their tradition of bringing some of the finest alternative bands around to Birmingham with the booking of Florida based Merchandise on the 20th August, right here at Hare & Hounds.

Merchandise are described, rather confusingly, as a band fighting against the easy categorization reserved for abbreviated biographies. The project is equal parts punk misanthropy, maudlin balladeering, fine art, low humor, classical study, psychedelic spacecasing, mad science and pop genius. To get a grasp of what this sounds like, check out the video for their brilliant single ‘Time’ below:

Formed as a trio in Tampa, Florida in 2008, the band has undergone ceaseless revision and reinvention. After putting out numerous records and tapes on independent punk labels and touring the underground, the band truly hit its stride with the release of their second LP “Children of Desire” in April 2012. In addition to a very warm reception from fans, the record received praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NME, Spin, and numerous other critics and journals.

2013 will see the band releasing a new 12″ on Iowa City’s excellent Night People label and touring extensively throughout America and Europe.
