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.

“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 sound—driven by Harry’s 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 -
https://linktr.ee/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. Setrakain’s 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...
