So, the next one has been booked. We’ve had such high profile shows recently that I felt I wanted to hone in on Birmingham and see if we’d been missing anything and forgetting our roots. I had. Evil Alien have been busily working away and building up quite an expectant fanbase without gracing a stage too often. My friend Paul Rees, editor of Q Magazine, is a massive fan of their latest single, and I’m actually really excited to be hosting this Birmingham sextet next month. For tickets, please visit www.birminghampromoters.com Fancy a flutter?
Until then…enjoy the sun. It’s back on Wednesday.

ANOTHER BOOKING FOR MISS PERRY PRESENTS!!
So very pleased to announce a date for 2011….I am proud to be promoting Miss Anna Calvi, who has just recently finished a European tour with Grinderman. She was hand picked by Nick Cave and has toured with loads of artists including Johnny Flynn…
Here’s a little taster from her biography..it’s been a mixture of hard work, massive talent and the right people snapping her up early!
‘As well as benefiting from Laurence Bell’s early support, Anna found yet more outside encouragement from Brian Eno, which came about when a man who happened to be a friend of Eno saw her perform at London’s Luminaire, and urged music’s most eminent producer and agent provocateur to check her out. He did, and was enchanted by her series of wonderful stripped-down performances The Attic Sessions. Eno was so taken by Anna that he asked her out for lunch. ‘He was really lovely. I gave him my early basement demos, and he loved them, and since then he’s been a real mentor. He came along at just the right time. He was the first person from the outside world who heard what I was doing and validated it. It was quite a pivotal moment in my life. He sent me a letter saying that the music was full of intelligence, romance and passion, and what more can we want from art? It was like the water at the end of the desert.’

I’m also so so proud and happy to announce the exquisite The Corsair as main support for this date. A duo of unstoppable originality and integrity, The Corsair blending dirty garage rock with a raw blues undercurrent.
‘The Corsair, although still residing in the pre-teen stage of their career having only been formed a few months ago, will force the last whisp of air out of your lungs and their raucous beat literally pummels its way through your body.
Comparable to Queens Of The Stone Age and Death From Above 1979, The Corsair are utterly immense and unrelenting in their fury.’ (Bloody Awful Poetry, 2010)
You can buy tickets here, cheaper in advance. Standard.
And stand by for more news on the christmas special..oh my oh my.
Until then, miss perry xxx
So….the show at the end of October with Mr Deez and Little Comets is now completely SOLD OUT again, so thank you to everyone who bought them.
The good news is that, today, we announce that Miss Perry and Birmingham Promoters have been asked to continue this fine relationship with the Brooklyn Band and put them on somewhere even BIGGER for their next UK tour..so..
WEDS 2nd MARCH 2011, HMV Institute, Birmingham.
This venue is almost double the size of the Hare and Hounds, but I imagine it will also sell out..GREAT NEWS for mr deez, so get on it!!
I’m currently busy booking up some special Christmas gigs in the meantime so watch this space…
Until then, I bid you adieu,
Miss Perry xxx
Wow…pretty pleased with this booking!
I Blame Coco have been working their arses off all Summer - playing every festival under the sun, both here and abroad, and I’m very honoured to be hosting Miss Sumner and her band at the Hare and Hounds as they prepare for Reading and Leeds 2010.
She has signed a six album deal with Island, played alongside some of the most inspriring artists in the UK…here is the beginning of her ‘About’ section on her website… www.iblamecoco.co.uk
“A surprise visitor tapped the door of I Blame Coco’s North London rehearsal room at the end of 2009. As Coco Sumner – the Coco you are blaming – was losing herself in the afternoon run-up to an esteemed charity gig at The Union Chapel with Arctic Monkeys and Richard Hawley, the simian silhouette of Ian Brown loped into view, nodding approvingly in the corner of the room. ‘And he told me,’ says Coco, in a rare moment of self-congratulation, ‘that my lyrics were mega.”
So…I Blame Coco will feast on the Soul Food Project before taking to the stage for the next Miss Perry Presents. Carlo and I have kept tickets as cheap as we possibly could, but this will be rammed. You know what happened at Darwin Deez? People got turned away..please get in early…

YOUVES
YOUVES are a punk quintet from small-town Nuneaton, UK. As if spitting in the face of their parochial backwater origins, their sound is a wide ranging spastic hybrid of post-punk, indie and hardcore spirit, alive with the fearless folly of youth. Lean, aggressive and kinetic, they’re a five-headed beast with a razor sharp sonic focus and steel eyed vision.
Whilst we could lie and say that this particular name change took place due to musical evolution and a new-found sense of confidence the truth is that the Americans (Mirror Mirror) came along in a wave of hype, leading to much confusion. Well, frankly, f**k them. We Brits did it first, and we are better.
Having released (under their previous alias) a split 7” with Rolo Tomassi, a limited edition tape and a solo debut single in the past year, they’re no strangers to productivity either. Allayed firmly with the UK underground, YOUVES are vocal proponents of the independent spirit; like Black Flag being produced by James Murphy, but without the steroids and militant dogma. They’re an efficient machine, well flexed, high on beer and protein, poised to steal hearts, minds and girlfriends.

*****************************
Support comes from BRONTIDE
Self proclaimed writers of the heaviest songs combined with the most melodic, Drowned In sounds describe this trio as
“Brontide are mathy and marvelous, danceable without being dumb. InstruMental in all the right ways. I say: yay!”
http://www.myspace.com/brontidetheband
******************************
We are also very please to have the guys from Rolo Tomassi spinning some tunes inbetween bands!
So make sure you get down early for the party!!
Another AMAZING addition to the long list of inspiring artists to grace the stage at the Hare and Hounds… The two swedish sisters arrive in York Road to play venue 1 on Thursday!
FIRST AID KIT**
Much has been made of the way First Aid Kit – a pair of precociously talented teenage Swedish sisters – can tap into the mind of the wronged suburban housewives better than Loose Women. As curious a party piece that is, it rather overshadows their phenomenal way with gorgeous melodies and heart-melting harmonies. The evocative, lilting a capella of opener ‘In The Morning’, paves the way for the ’60s swing of ‘Waltz For Richard’, which comes over like a mythical Joni Mitchell and Carole King collaboration. While the duo’s fixation with Fleet Foxes is often clear, the spry ‘Sailor Song’ is proof there’s enough imagination in FAK for them to go the distance.
GOODNIGHT LENIN**
Goodnight Lenin have played alongside First Aid Kit before…here’s what the review of that last occasion had to say..
‘Further honing their fine vocal harmonies that so impressed me last time I saw them and continuing to draw their influences from Simon and Garfunkel, Dylan, CSNY and The Band, some of their self penned songs already sound like classics. And no, I’m not going off on one again… just listen to ‘Crook In The Creek’, and ‘Wenceslas Square’ on their MySpace thingy and judge for yourself. The crowd lapped it up and even the headline act – standing right at the front of the audience – seemed in awe of the performance.’
MR BONES AND THE DREAMERS**
Mr Bones & The Dreamers are a Midlands six piece with an impressive array of support slots under their belt: Alabama 3, Elvis Perkins, Okkervil River, The Walkmen and The Hold Steady. They play a taut acoustic folk-indie topped off by Mr Bones (I presume) mournful quaver. They may be quite intense live (“creating an atmosphere of quasi-hysterical devotion” their record label claim), on record they are intensely restrained, all control rather than release.
