Description

The Sad Season ? Frantic and angst riddled post punk thru Gothic rock with just a tint of metal. Name checking The Doors, Sonic Youth, Nick Cave, and maybe a hint of The Mars Volta too but they very much have their own accomplished high intensity sound nailed on. Singer Mikee is also in Sikth, so you know you?re in very good hands.

Hopfrog ? Hailing from the mean streets of nearby Kilburn HopFrog bring shimmering guitars and an indie vibe. With influences ranging from Nirvana and Green Day to bands like Nothing but Thieves they bring a raw energy as they carve out their sonic landscape. Vocally comparisons to Courtney Love and Ellie Rowsell have been drawn?

Cutting Corners ? La Nouvelle vague du vieux grunge, from France. Punky thrash with a Kurt Cobain approach, this is Funtime punk rock played by longhairs. Just as we like it.

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.
