Everyone’s favourite Birmingham musical party animals and sartorial legends have been in hibernation for several months. Imagine all that pent up rock n roll energy simmering away eager to explode. Well come March 17 imagine no more as the Ranters will once again be off the leash to tear through a set of barnstorming cow punk classics. Just what have these boys been cooking up? The gig is part of the Hare and Hounds 10th anniversary celebrations. Support comes from those local grizzled folkers The High Horses and Independent Country with their hick cover versions of contemporary indie classics.  A special Dig Your Wig DJ set will ease you into the early hours. We predict a heavy outbreak of thigh slapping and big grins.
