Chaos U.K - Chaos UK is an old school punk band from Islington, London dating back to 1978 and NOT to be confused with the much better known band from Portishead! This is punk rock like it used to be in the late 1970's - before it became a cliche populated by Mohicanned/studded leather jacket uniform wearing bands who wanted to be heavy metal but couldn't play well enough. Born on the streets of Islington and roaming the Camden and Holloway Road areas - they haven't grown up much since those days... The band played many gigs around London, and released a single 'Summer Of Hate/I Wanna Be Left Alone' in 1979. They gradually metamorphosed into 'The Mandies' and eventually the infamous trash/glam/punk band Marionette ...In 2014 Bin Liner Records released the two songs Chaos UK recorded for their only single on their 'Bored Teenagers Volume 7' compilation. Guitarist Dave Veal subsequently put together a new lineup of Chaos U.K and we're very happy to have them along tonight..


UkePunk - Punk played on a Uke ahoy so not unlike The Pukes but Ukepunk play all their own stuff which has a nicely naive pop punk feel, think Buzzcocks via Johnny Moped via punky reggae.

Last of The Misfit Heroes - a punky alt grunge power trio...a powerful sound that chugs and cranks it up authentically and with a nice grrrrrr factor.

Petrol Boys - sassy, scrappy, scratchy punk taking a bit of Crass caustic to a bit of Pistols power and adding something more yelpsome and post punkish (early Wire or Alternative TV perhaps)...an agreeable level of proper punk punch though. Yeah.

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.
