Wednesday
Johnny Doom presents: Omina Opera / Stuntdog (Ex Cardiacs) – Kerrang Radio’s Johnny Doom hosts a night of space rock and psychedelia with the triumphant return of space rock legends Omnia Opera, who will be playing tracks from their new double album ‘Nothing is Ordinary’. They will be joined by Stuntdog, a exciting new project featuring ex Cardiacs drummer Dominic Luckman. Johnny will be DJing between bands providing spacey sounds, kraut rock classics and stoner grooves.
Thursday
Emma Scott presents: Pharmatronik / This Burning Age / The Scholars / The Bronze Medal – Comprising of two members David Smith, Paul Saunders this electro indie rock duo released their debut album ‘Elephants & Horses’ at the end of last year to critical acclaim.
Taking their influences from a wide range of seminal artists such as Velvet Underground, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Church, David Bowie, many, many more…Too many to list. Phamartronik make music they want, depending on how they feel.
Friday
It’s Just Noise presents: Joan of Arc / Hot Club de Paris / Pandas & People
With a career that stretches all the way back to 1995, and a ‘members of’ list that includes Cap’n Jazz, Owls, Ghosts & Vodka and Make Believe, their influence is undeniably far-reaching. Now with Victor Villarreal and his hyper-meticulous style of guitar playing back in the fold, Joan of Arc are armed with a new Steve Albini-recorded album which marks an outstanding return to form.
Mostly Jazz Festival presents: Mostly Jazz Festival – After Show Party (Gilles Peterson DJ Set)
Music lover, record collector, DJ, and broadcaster, Gilles Peterson is perhaps most famous for his much loved genre-exploding radio shows on BBC Radio 1 (and 17 other stations around the world including Japan’s leading commercial station J-Wave). Gilles’ insatiable appetite for new music undoubtedly lies at the heart of his success.
Saturday
Mostly Jazz Festival presents: Mostly Jazz Festival – After show Party (Matthew Herbert DJ Set)
For someone so uncompromising in his attitude towards music and its making, for someone so unafraid to shun the sort of political engagement other, more timid artists consider a commercial turn-off, Matthew Herbert has been extraordinarily successful in an extraordinary variety of fields.
After bringing the Saturday in Moseley Park to a close, Matthew Herbert will be heading over where he will be DJing at the official after party…
Reverb presents: Beats and Pieces – Free Party
After the madness of our 3rd birthday party with Justin Robertson, we are back on Saturday 2nd July with a free party for all our friends. This time around we are pleased to be sharing the hare and hounds with the Moseley jazz festival and to top that the party is a freebie to thank everyone for their support…rather than the normal house beats expect indie, soul , funk, electronic 80’s, breaks…in fact anything to make that floor move….
Soul Food Project presents: Soul Food Saturdays! – Every Saturday Soul Food Project will be throwing open the doors to the back lounge at The Hare and Hounds, sprucing up the room and easing you into the weekend with the sweetest soul music and deepest raw funk soundtrack in B14 and beyond.
Sunday
Soul Food Project presents: Roasts ‘n’ Records – Whilst you tuck into your roasts, Dubber & Brian Travers will be playing the platters that matter with a smorgasbord of jazz, bossa nova, funk, reggae, dub and anything else that takes their fancy. Soul Food will be on hand to provide the best Sunday dinners in B14…Think Cajun Beefs, Warming Butternut Squash, Sticky, sweet hams, Crunchy Pork Belly and beyond…..
