Description

Dead Red Jets - from the ashes of The Everglows....The Beatles, Small Faces, Weller and The Jam, Elvis Costello, The Who. All those classic acts are certainly in the mix. Think The Stone Roses on a Move like psych pop tip. Lovely stuff.

Red Light Acid Test - While the heavy, angular riffs and big drums are the immediate pulls, the band does a fantastic job creating frenetic, anxious tension in both the music and lyrics that really hold you as a listener. If you like your rock dark, heavy and moody, Red Light Acid Test are up your alley for sure.

Anonions - Purple Implosion's side project and it's fuzzed up kraut rock via spacerock, imagine Neu by way of Hawkwind . Psychedelically shonky, sure to please any microdoot munching maverick.

Badaboum - Wonderfully whacked out French pop (only with some vocals in German!) with a conceptual bent....they like a weird costume or 3...plus semi tribal synth pop flavas and post punk moodiness, all in all highly entertaining and sassy.

The Pish Dolls - Crazy big puppets and a manipulated uber pop soundtrack. A Parisian conceptual artist who cottoned on to puppetry being a lot more pleasant than chopping a calf in half. It may not be rock n roll, but then again...

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.
