Description
The Fastmen– East London combo dealing gritty yet soulful funk with a soupcon of rock, decent tunes played with verve and conviction. Jack The Man- Slowburning emo punk pop with rousing anthemic choruses. The Trial- manage to be all periods of rock’s rich pageant all at once, conjuring up hints of the West Coast counter-culture of the late sixties, the cool of 70s New York, the beats of swinging London and Cool Britannia, the razor sharp shards of the best 50’s blues and rockabilly. Offtask- Hooky breezy indie rock with rousing choruses, influenced by the likes of The Hives Wolf Alice and possibly The Maccabees, lovely stuff
Description
The Dublin Castle is a legendary pub and music venue located 2 minutes away from Camden Town tube station. It has been run by the same family for over 28 years and features 4 live bands every night as well as a great selection of beers, ciders and wines.
There are DJs after the bands on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and a fabulous jukebox in the front bar if you’re after a more relaxed atmosphere.
But what is it that makes the Dublin Castle the long-standing centre of the indie rock universe? Is it because it’s Madness’ birthplace? Because its stage has been graced by everyone from Blur, through Coldplay, Supergrass, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, Billy Bragg, etc? Is it because it was no surprise to see Amy Winehouse behind the bar serving costumers? Or Suggs? (who, mind you, tended to ignore costumers and serve himself) Or is it because far from being just another Camden venue it has established itself as an indie rock institution? The answer is that it’s not only because of its musical heritage that people come to the Dublin Castle, it’s because whilst you enjoy a pint, play some tunes on the jukebox, check out the live bands, get your dancing shoes on for our DJs, chat to our friendly staff or even stage-invade a little, you’re inadvertently being part of this movement the Dublin Castle leads, this cultural legacy. Expect no castle battlements. Just pure rock and roll royalty.
