The Offspin vs Some 41

The Offspin and Some 41 are playing a double bill at The Hairy Dog on Saturday 21 November, a night that puts two tribute acts on one stage. The Offspin is billed as Europe's No. 1 act celebrating The Offspring, and they recreate the high-energy '90s pop-punk and alt-rock sound of hits like 'Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)', 'Self Esteem' and 'Come Out and Play'. Some 41, described as the UK and Europe's best Sum 41 tribute band, brings the grit and hooks of the Canadian band's finest years, with anthems like 'Fat Lip' and 'In Too Deep'.

It's a double-header that the organisers say hits every nostalgia nerve. The promoters promise no gimmicks and no fluff, just tight, loud, proper live punk rock for anyone who grew up on those records. The Offspin handles the California pop-punk of The Offspring, and Some 41 takes on the Canadian sound of Sum 41, so you get two different runs of the same era in one night.

Practical details: the night is 16+ when accompanied by an adult, and photo ID is required. Tickets are £16.50 plus a £1.65 booking fee, and the music starts at 7:30pm at The Hairy Dog, 1 Becket Street, Derby, DE1 1HT.
