Cult Figures - West Midlands artpop (in the best possible way) and post punk satirists come janglesome ramalama fiends, who came up in the wake of Swell Maps back in the as they say day, care of the very beautiful 'Zip Nolan' 45...more followed, and then the Cult Figures seemingly sank outta sight...only to beatifically bounce back some thirty odd years later. Ace! After a series of superb E.Ps and a lovely 40 years in the making debut album, the band produced a fabulous second album of new, witty, woebegone songs, 'Deritend'. Brilliant stuff, every one a winner, although sadly ill health and the inevitable Covid crisis put paid to it maybe getting the attention it deserved. Well they're back, slightly retooled- just in time for WW3!
Kape Kanaveral - Infectiously catchy indie equally informed by the proto-punk, early Talking heads and UK Post punk... early XTC maybe...a sassy and creative force putting much Special K into their rocketry.
Wicked Splinters - spectral indie/psych folk - interesting for sure. Quite oblique and unyielding, and happily situated with in the ranks of the awkward squad...but that's good!..a bit of Syd Barrett/early Floyd for sure
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.
