Great service from Gigantic, great venue and great bands. My first visit to The Hairy Dog. I will return. It's a shame there were so few people in attendance. Godfathers put on a great show and The Lengthmen were blistering. I look forward to seeing The Godfathers again when they play The Hare and Hounds, Kings Heath, Birmingham in a couple of weeks time.

The Godfathers, The Hairy Dog, Derby - 3rd February 2018
The Godfathers are a British rock band formed in London in 1985, known for their raw, gritty sound that blends punk, rock 'n' roll, and new wave influences. Led by brothers Peter and Chris Coyne, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their hard-hitting music and rebellious attitude. Their debut album Hit by Hit (1986) and their breakthrough record Birth, School, Work, Death (1988) showcased their signature style: driving guitars, sharp lyrics, and anthemic choruses.
With songs like the title track "Birth, School, Work, Death," The Godfathers gained a cult following for their no-nonsense approach to rock and their critique of societal norms. Known for their intense live performances, the band became a staple of the late 80s alternative rock scene. Despite lineup changes over the years, The Godfathers have maintained their fiery spirit, continuing to release new music and perform, solidifying their legacy as influential figures in the British rock landscape.
