Wipes - Some beautifully nasty-ass rasping ramalama guitars and a kool keening vocal that's part Pete Shelley part injured hound. A punk rock 3 piece with a different approach, kinda post punk but very rock and roll. 

No Lip - more Buzzcocks resonances here maybe (oh and Buzzers fans reading this now, don't forget to come and see Buzzkocks in the Dub Castle Sat 2nd July), a bit of  Sham 69/Cockley Rejects London Tahn Street punkery in the mix...exciring and arresting authentic punk rock. 

Thee Mighty St Pancras - the British punk rock of the 1970s was of course part informed by the U.S garage punk of the 1960s. And maybe both intertwine here.  Twangy guitars and lots of reverb tales you into a spooky Joe Meek offcut vibe,  although they say they are definitely a punk rock band...Sure enuff punkness but with a mid '60s Brit beat stance- The Birds, Yardbirds, Downliners Sect etc... 

Davis IL - all the way from L.A to be with you good people tonight... moody and groovy textures building up into a post punk pop skank with neo psychedelic elements and edgy, artful touches...pretty original but you might detect a bit of Television in the songs if not the sound - Tame Impala seem to resonate. Interesting work. Tony Bugbear DJ's til 2

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.
