Tiptoe Apollo+The Ronains+Slender Pins+The Mooches

Tiptoe Apollo ? featuring the Roberts sisters on bass and keys, who warmed our cockles in Lockdown alongside mum and dad with their more-viral-than-Covid Roberts Family Band Smiths singalongs, T.A are about a young a band as we?ve ever had gracing our stage. But it?s the Summer Hols imminently so no more exams or homework just indie pop joy (Arctic Monkeys, The Cure, The Reytons)? 

The Ronains ? from Glasgow ?  their very own and singular version of House of the Rising Sun that was featured by NME and yes?went viral throughout social media during Covid. There?s a theme here.  A nice moody version with a bluesy female vocal from a young Lulu looky likey it is too, and there?s a kit more soulful rocknroll where that came from amongst their own material. Fab. 

Slender Pins ? Punchy taut post punkery with elastic bass, split splat sparky drumming and arcing abrasive guitars and a melodically inclined new wave vocal fulla vim. Love it. Elements of The Stranglers, Devo, The Clash, Gang Of 4, Pil? ace?great songs. Now I would have to confess to that review bring a copy and paste from the last these lovely Pins played with us pre pandemic, but a cursory glance at tinternet and we?re heartened to note their Bandcamp page is stocked and stoaked with neat neat neat new numbers.

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.
