Three-piece act playing electronic and alternative covers from the late 1970s and 1980s at the Hare & Hounds pub.
Fishing For Robots play the Hare & Hounds on Friday 29 January, starting at 20:00. They're a three-piece act that specialises in electronic and alternative covers from the late 1970s and 1980s, so the set will be built around that particular stretch of ground. If you've got a soft spot for the synth-led sounds and left-field pop of that era, it's exactly the kind of night you'll want to keep on your radar.
As a three-piece, they're taking those electronic and alternative records and running them through their own live setup, rather than just playing them straight. The focus is on the late seventies and eighties, so you're looking at the transition from the post-punk and new wave of the late seventies into the synth-pop and indie of the eighties. It's a broad enough window to pull from, and the whole thing is built around covers, so the set will be made up of songs you'll likely recognise rather than original material.
The night runs at the Hare & Hounds, a family-run pub on Sopwell Lane that serves food and real ale, has a large garden and a programme that takes in live music alongside community groups. It's a venue that does more than just gigs, so it's as much a pub night as it is a concert. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which is a useful detail to have in mind if you're planning your evening.
