Zhadan i Sobaky (Ukrainian: Жадан і собаки, Zhadan and the Dogs) is a Ukrainian ska band from Kharkiv. It was created in 2000 and named "Sobaky v kosmosi" (Ukrainian: Собаки в космосі, literally - "Dogs in the Outer Space"). After a long-term cooperation with Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan the band was renamed to "Zhadan i Sobaky".
The band was created in 2000. As of 2008 it has released two studio albums and has taken part in different Ukrainian festivals such as "Tavriyski ihry", "Raz. Liv", "Muzychyi Ostriv", "5 ozer", "MazepaFest", "Den Nezalezhnosti z Makhnom".
Since 2008 Sobaky v Kosmosi has collaborated with a famous Kharkiv-based writer Serhiy Zhadan.
