Unknown Pleasures- These guys and their primal, punky, poised and perky take on the incredible Joy Division canon have been doing the rounds as long as Buggerbear?we?re a match made in heaven, haha. Always an ace night out?yes ?Ian Curtis? has adapted the trademark moves a tad since he ahem died and maybe slightly more padded than you recall, and Peter Hook seems to have transmogrified into a goff Yul Bryner etc etc but don?t watch that?.a brilliant and lovestruck tribute to adore. Ping Pong Disco? Need A Drink?s pounding teutonic beats channel Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb, while telsewhere PPD recall early Kasabian and Bowie?s funkier periods. Meanwhile, ?Scratcher?s nifty sounds and samples have a Sleafords Mods-do-hip-hop vibe and ?Super Vegetable? recalls John Lydon?s collaboration with Leftfield. Hooligan Choir-Indie/Punk/Rock and Roll band Hooligan Choir return after a 10 year hiatus with new songs and the old.

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.
