Description

The Shimmertones -   5 piece party band. Silky vocals and soulful tones guide you to the dance floor while hits spanning the decades keep you there!  

Pantha - Pleasing song driven fare with a warm, welcoming vocal and a neo soul pop aspect. Put some nice drama into their riffage and know how to build it up and break it down.  All quite introspective but very nicely done. Good songs. If The Kooks got into Leonard Cohen?  
Reid Etter - grunge rawk, pretty clicheed lyrically but they get a stoned mesmeric groove going before hitting a pretty crisp and crunchy hard rock freakout with nice syncopation and Ozzy like screeching ... Deep Purple meets Sound Garden with a raw blues edge and lots of nice experimental touches with the arrangements etc

Vernons Future - nice punchy riddim section and a jangled guitar part with washes of keys and a deep dark vocal that suggests those cool 1980s Paisley Underground bands...all quite psych based and garagey but winningly melodic too. Rather good.

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.
