Description

Pussycat and the Dirty Johnsons - Punk, hardcore, psychobilly, noize rawk and just a dash of metal played with the exacting energy and passion we know and luv. Always a challenging, compelling, empowering performance by Puss Johnson up front, against a backdrop of fabulous , shredtastic, hook laden rumbling rock n roll from Jake and Ant, Puss on second geetar. Brilliant live and four fantastic albums under the hood too... probably our most consistent and reliable and long serving rock and roll happening here in the Dublin. There should be a plaque. Not to be confused with the Dirty Johnson in No.10.

Tiger Empress - Louder Than War said of this Cornish kerranging three piece 'DIY-as-fuck attitude- wonderful melodies'...and who's to argue. They say of themselves 'Alt rock with a little punk in the trunk'...sounds about right. Righteous rocking sound they make too.

Ethical Debating Society - 'uncool, unconnected, outsider art'... un-afeared to be fragile or lofi, riot grrl or agitpop, taking on political issues and hedonistic abandon equally, a fantastic band... "Angular fuzztone strop-pop." - NemesisToGo...

The SinicTones- 'Bristol based power trio with fuzz-riffed guitars, driving ear-candy bass lines, catchy choruses and a seductive live performance...the originators of Psycho Surf Noir...This aint no cheesy west coast summertime California groove...It's cheesy chips on the pier at Weston Super-Mare in December...It's surf, but not as you know it!'

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.
