Pussycat and the Dirty Johnsons ? seem like an inordinately long time since PATDJ last graced our stage, but it?s bloody marvellous to announce they?ve come back for more. It?s always a marriage made in Heaven?the cranked up punk grunge-abilly mayhem of Dirty Jake and Puss?s guitars, the skittering riddims and bombastic beat of drummer Ant, and the fierce feline yelp and howl of the righteous anger of Puss on vox, not to mention her high energy physical expression, and fearless forays into the crowd. And all in the Mojo riddled environs of The Dublin Castle back room. What?s not to adore?

 The Tropic Trio ? JF Whitney (The Flaming Stars/The Urban Voodoo Machine and very many others) in his long term Bizarre Trash Exotica project with co-writer She Rocola (Minxus/The Charity Case) on vocals & bass with Erg Meister (Oh! Gunquit and many very others) guesting on drums. The Tropics have had many ventures on London & festival stages over the last 25 years, with releases on Kooky, Jazzman, Sexton Ming?s Rim Records and a curious cover of Diana Ross? ?Upside Down? curated by the late great Andrew Weatherall for his Soma label. And their version of Poptones by Public Image Ltd was enthused over by the equally late and great Keith Levene too.. ?Absolutely crazed but beautiful? The Village Voice ?Ace? NME ?Jazzy, quirky and thoroughly bohemian? Penny Rimbaud? 

Daniel Jeanrenaud AKA The Camden Cat ? what a marvellous thing, to have Daniel J on tonite?s bill. A regular feature for Camdenites in a daze gone by discombulation situation in a late night haunt long gone but possibly now called Snickers in a parallel universe?this rockabilly Cat cum Kingsnake was the proponent of a delicious soundtrack to many a non existent kebab and disco biscuit and late beer meal back in the as they say day. Superb. 

Lean ? young punk rock three piece giving large swathes of ramalama a right hormonal seeing to. Cracking stuff.

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.
