Those Naughty Lumps 2 albums under their reformed belts and original post punk pop/new wave funtime surrealists yer Lumps are hot to trot 40 plus years after they hit Erics and other Liverpool stages and beyond. Original Zoo Records recording artistes, they even once included one Julian Cope on bass. Maybe he'll be down tonight with his harmonium? from Iggy Pop's Jacket to Jackie Charlton (a song about reciting the 1966 England World Cup Squad in order to postpone ejaculation no less) all life is here. But point of order- how can five foot one Iggy Pop's jacket be bigger than Lead Lump Peter seven foot five??!!

Bite Me five of the sassiest girls playing the absolute sassiest punk pop n roll music, with elements of Suzi Quatro, The Runaways, L7, X Ray Spex.fabulous.

L.O.A.D AKA The League of Angry Drunkardsbut don't fret, these Oi Boys are proper gents. Ya get punk covers, concentrating on the big bollocked heavy end of the genre from the Pistols (a great God Save The Queen a bit like Motorhead's version) to the better and beefier end of street punk, top entertainment.

The Long Knives Taking the early street punk feel and tangling it all up with a little post punk nousthis lot hit a fantastic growlsome vein of Ruts meets UK Subs/Upstarts righteousness, and maybe a little bit of that Idles/Slaves vibe too.

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.
