Description

Wicked Splinters - spectral indie/psych folk and blissed out rock - and all very interesting for sure. Quite oblique and unyielding, these Splinter folk may be fully paid up members of the pop awkward squad...but we mean that in a purely good way...a bit of Syd/early Floyd for sure. And a bit of Dark Side Pinks too. Beautiful stuff.

Walt's Frozen Head - Punkishly progged out psych rock, a bit Cardiacs in places but without the tricky time signatures so much...you may also find some resonances with the quirk and jerk mania of early XTC and there's a hint of King Gizzard, but Walt is all his own man... really interesting and arresting stuff. Disney get much better... Argonaut - boy/girl/boy/girl punky indie with tood, mixing C86 post punk pop sensibilities with something grungier and harder but always a heat seeking riff and a righteous vocal hook.

The Legendary Too Drunk- being legends these boys need no introduction or fanfare, but just in case...funtime to the fore blend of U.S garage punk and UK classic punk rock with a little bit of raunchy glam abandon...have a good time all the time and have been doing so on our watch longer than we probably both care to acknowledge! For fans of The Undertones, The Ramones and The Standells.

The Bearded Ladies - gender fluid hirsutery aside it's a folk pop punk appeal to the senses for life affirmation in song. Or summink!

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.
