Description

Greedy Soul ? Aspirational high emotion indie with reference points to all the big hitters of the last 25 ? 30 years (Oasis, The Verve, The La?s, Arctic Monkeys etc) but with an attitude and style all their own, a style that hollers North London. A great band from the North London locale indeed and we welcome them back to The Dublin.

The Beautiful Game ? Exciting and high energy indie pop with driving punky guitars and insistent hooks and convincing singalong choruses, have been compared to the Buzzcocks, which you can sorta hear, there?s deffo a new wave element to this but it?s more of an indie rock beast than a punk-pop one. The band?s other influences include Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Libertines, The Jam, and The Strokes.

The High Rip ? Cyclical riffs and insistent clattersome beats- you?re in a kind of early Buzzcocks meets That Petrol Emotion world of punkish indie that cuts a rug and groove very nicely indeed. Named after the most notorious Liverpool street gang of the 1890?s ? maybe they should have tyheir own Peaky Blinders style Rock Opera! Great band, great tunes. ?The heartbeat of a people.?

Whelligan ? Surging psychedelics and sweetly honed post scally indie pop with a hefty dose of Pink Floyd but also a welcome hint of British Sea Power, The Chameleons or The Icicle Works- life affirming stuff.

Dave Weston ? soulful solo singer with new material about to pop and turn heads.

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.
