The Spizz Annual Midsummer Party hasn't actually happened since 2019 of course, so that's a bit of a weird one, but between 2013 and 2019 it's been a punk rock Summer staple up there with Rebellion, Undercover and getting sunburn on the shaved bits of yer mohawk. Not to mention falling over with heat exhaustion after too much snakebite and whizz. Please drink and snort responsibly.

Any way, it's wonderful to welcome Spizz back to his Summer Dacha, always a legendary night out coz he's always a legend. Do I have to now mention 'Where's Captain Kirk'? Really. Really? Get your tickets now, while ya can.

Voodoo Radio - a power pop duo based in Hammersmith, West London. Pop punk with gear Stooges rifferama, femme fronted and giving loads of tood and NRG. Some metal touches and a bit of Joan Jett/Suzi Quatro glam rock pop appeal, and singer Paige will certainly get some old punks swooning- and young uns for that matter. One of them nouveau punkier acts that are highly promising for the future of this rock we call punk.

Neovenator - fresh from getting a nice studio tan with their svengali the one and only JC Carroll of The Members, these chaps may not be quite so very 'nouveau' but they certainly know how to place a power chord and a raffish melodic hook or ten. Bits of The Who, The Stranglers, Pil, you know...groovy gear. Hark? Do I hear an E.P dropping?

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.
