Taurus Trakker the primal art punk and soulful rocknroll trio epitomize the cool West London tradition of melting pot, fusion culture. Recently produced by Clash/Big Audio Dynamite legend Mick Jones, which is pretty indicative of that effortlessly hip (not hipster) heritage excellent live band, brilliant players, storming songs. Don't miss! Velvet Starlings-Rather tasty American psych/folk/indie 3 piece who embrace some lovely trashy organ, a bit of young Eric Burdon in the lead vocal and Mamas and Papas vocal/songsmith elements and match it up with contemporary indie touches ( a lot of Jack White and a bit of Arctic Monkeys) impressive songs, great 1967 vintage look, got something going on. The Bugles-5-piece Indie/Funk/Punk band, infectious hooks, singalong chorus' and a riotous energy. Bit of a nod to the Libertines and a pleasing bouncy ska element, also Jamie T great 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.
