Hidden Herd Presents is Brighton’s new music discovery night, spotlighting the most exciting emerging artists, ones-to-watch and hidden gems. This time, come to The Hope & Ruin for Saloon Dion, Tigers & Flies, Francis Pig and Nil by Habit.Saloon Dion
Since their formation during lockdown, Bristol's post-punk specialists Saloon Dion have refined their songwriting to match the energy and intensity of their live performances, firmly establishing themselves as one of the UK’s finest emerging talents. Championed by NME, DIY, Dork, Clash, So Young Magazine and Rough Trade, and backed by Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1 and Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 6 Music, the five-piece draw inspiration from iconic acts like Suede, Blur, Primal Scream and The Stone Roses, and their trademark sound has taken them to SXSW in Texas and New Colossus in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Saloon Dion have also toured extensively across the UK, sharing stages with the likes of Big Special, Benefits, Grandmas House, Pip Blom, Master Peace, Courting, Opus Kink and Getdown Services. Riding high on a wave of creativity and camaraderie, the band’s new EP, ‘Where You’ll Find Me’, lands on Wednesday 14th August, featuring some of their best post-Britpop anthems yet.

Tigers & Flies
Manchester-based five-piece Tigers & Flies, known for their cowbell-wielding and horn-blowing antics, deliver energy without sacrificing melody. They create wonky guitar music with a hearty post-punk affliction, all while embracing the absurd, lighthearted and mundane. With songs about Margate, workplace grievances and the mechanisation of labour, their new EP, ‘Nervous Entertainment’, is a fidgety art-pop gem, featuring the excellent lead track 'Adaptive Release’. To date, Tigers & Flies have graced stages at festivals like Fair Play and Technicolour, performed at the Supersonic Club in Paris and shared stages with genre favourites such as Trudy and the Romance and Eades.

Francis Pig
Brighton four-piece Francis Pig push the boundaries of conventional rock music, forging a distinct and unmistakable path that’s uniquely their own. Their songs are a potent blend of raw power and poetic depth, exploring themes of eroticism and existentialism with fearless intensity. Despite having yet to release a single, the band have already created a buzz in Brighton thanks to their driving, minimalistic songs and the visceral impact of their live shows. So far, they’ve shared stages with acts like Tina Kit, Baby's Berserk, and The Damn Shebang, and recently played their first headline show for Change The F***ing Records at The Rossi Bar.

Nil by Habit
Described by BBC Music Introducing as “bone-rattling post-punk,” Nil by Habit are a Brighton-based quintet that blend art-rock and post-hardcore to create a sinewy, grunge-flecked noise. With members originally hailing from Leeds, Scotland and the South East, the band have become a mainstay in the south coast scene, thanks to a series of standout singles, such as ‘BBC’ and ‘Heart as a Weapon’, and their exhilarating live performances, which have seen them light up stages in support of a host of other exciting emerging bands like HotWax, Canned Pineapple and Dead Air.
