BAND BIOGRAPHY Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UKs number one Joy Division tribute act.

Bad Manners

Bad Manners

13 Sept 2025 - 4 Jun 2026

Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were at school together, and among their early incarnations were known as Stoop Solo and the Sheet Starchers. None of the members had any formal musical training, not even the ability to play any instruments. They were popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period when lots of similar ska bands filled the charts. Some of their hits include 'My Girl Lollipop', 'Lip Up Fatty', 'Special Brew' and 'Ne-Ne-Na-Na-Na-Na-Nu-Nu'. One of the main reasons for their notoriety was because of their outlandish, larger-than-life, huge-tongued & shaven-headed front man. Buster´s exploits got them banned from the British TV chart show Top of the Pops (which included dressing as Henry VIII and singing to a blow-up doll for the song 'Lorraine', pouring a large can of baked beans over his head, and dressing in a can-can dancer´s dress to promote their single 'Can-Can').

Hayseed Dixie

Hayseed Dixie

4 Oct 2025 - 20 Feb 2026

Hayseed Dixie began in the summer of 2000 in the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee USA. In this area which was completely isolated from outside cultural and musical influence, the boys grew up playing the traditional music of their forefathers on banjo, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. All of this changed abruptly one afternoon when a stranger crashed his car into a stately old oak tree on a particularly dangerous curve, which the locals refer to as the Devil's Elbow. Sadly, the stranger expired, but his legacy lives on! As the boys searched through the wreckage looking for identification, they discovered several vinyl AC/DC albums. After playing these back on an old Edison 78rpm Victrola, everyone agreed that the songs were right fine country music . . . and that the Lost Highway of Brother Hank Williams and this Highway To Hell of AC/DC were indeed the exact same damn road! And the rest is now enshrined in musical history. Most recently, Hayseed Dixie are exploring the inspired catalogue of the stadium rock of the 1970's and 1980's. This interest began during a 2014 Spring tour of Germany, in which the band heard the song Eye of the Tiger 6 different times on 6 different German radio stations in a single day while driving between Dortmund and Frankfurt. As the seed is planted, so the tree shall grow - this very quote appears on the inner sleeve of the 1980 album Escape by Journey. How very true indeed.

Bang Featuring Syncolima, Setrakain, & Sunmachine
Our gig night, every other month at The Hairy Dog brings fresh music to Derby's best venue. Gigs run 6pm til 9pm - there's not a lot else to do on a Sunday except eat good dinner, have a nap, pop to a gig, and still get home early cos it's a school night, right? 16+ but Under 18s must be with an adult. Syncolima Beauty and brutality. Chemistry and cohesion. A thunderous trip through riffs, groove and gloom. 2021... The year after the worst in memory. A time to restart. A time to crank the amps and hit the drums louder than ever. Formed in February 2021, Syncolima wasted no time within 4 months, they had written the 10-track debut Where The End Meets The Beginning, recorded at Arch Studios, Nottinghamshire. Born out of frustration and two years of silence, the record was a fierce release pure groove, grit, and heart. In 2022, the band returned to the studio this time at Electric Bear Studios to begin work on album two. Released in April 2023, Wavelengths built on the foundation of their debut, with harder riffs, deeper grooves, and rawer emotion. Now, in 2025, Syncolima is locked and loaded. With their third album complete, the band continues to evolve their sounddriven by Harrys dynamic influence behind the kit and a sharper, more deliberate approach to songwriting. Lyrically, the new record tackles the state of the world today: the impact of social media on society, and the mental health struggles that come with being human in 2025. Move Mountains, due out 5th September 2025. Combining the groove of stoner rock, the angst of grunge, and the power of the riff, Syncolima is an unstoppable force of heaviness, hooks, and heart. Setrakain Involuntary outcasts hailing from Buxton, Derbyshire, Setrakain are a 5-Piece Maniacal Metal band blending melodic and growling vocals over a dirty, hypnotic and headbanging inducing instrumental section. Setrakains own brand of Maniacal Metal Music pairs perfectly with their exciting and energetic stage performances, and the band have earned and fought for shows and festival slots with some excellent acts across many reputable venues. Setrakain's aim is to spread their musical message and gather the broken, the weird and the wonderful: We're all defective, come with us... SUNMACHINE SUNMACHINE are a Heavy Rock/Prog Rock band with a modern sound. This year, they released their single and Music Video Mercy Killing, to wide acclaim. The song achieved 25k+ views on YouTube and thousands of Streams on Spotify. Their previous singles Whos It Gonna Be and Spine from their debut album The NovaEffect also achieved thousands of Spotify streams, and were both met with highly positive critic feedback and radio play. The album contains striking prog songs, hard hitting ballads, and everything in between. All bands are on a door split so they get a fair share of ticket sales - we take our expenses out AFTER bands have had their share. By supporting these gigs you are genuinely directly supporting bands. Of course as standard, unlike bigger venues neither us nor The Hairy Dog take commission from any merch sales.
