Dumb As You Are bring their powerfully authentic Nirvana Homage to The Dublin Castle for their first London headline show. These three decent, clean-cut young men play 'heavier than heaven' versions of the influential grungers' back catalogue, selecting songs from every studio album as well as the occasional classic bootleg.
Rather than relying on the corny outfits and gimmicky showmanship of many 'tribute' acts, the trio place the focus back where it should be: Nirvana's amazing songs, played with meticulous care and ferocious energy: true to the immersive sound which created moshpits in Seattle in '89 and Reading '92. 'Dumb As You Are' are fans, first and foremost. By keeping these vital songs breathing and sweaty in an intimate live setting they pay homage to their teenage inspiration creating an essential sonic experience for all lovers of Nirvana. AKANot to be fucking missed dudes.
Twin Jackal-Alt rock, witha possible nod to Million Dead et al,nice crunch to the guitars and a pretty impressive sound all round, strong tunes too.
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.
