Description

The Swagger? Hazy pschedelic pop which recalls The Mock Turtles and at times Oasis, nicely honed hooky tunes. Recently worked with producer/drummer Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/Brian Jonestown Massacre) recording their debut EP at the famous Konk studios owned by The Kinks. Brut- Engaging indie pop with hooks aplenty harks back to 80?s kit like Orange Juice but also late 70?s New Wave, Mink Deville etc, great stuff. Sleaze- Are the ideal band you want to see when you walk into a pub and are providing the sound of broken Britain. The market stalls outside may have swapped the Elastica T-shirts for scented candles nowadays but it seems that inside this bar tonight Britpop has woken up again with a hangover and dodgy stomach. This is the soundtrack to accompany the end of a Tory government visibly on the brink of collapse, fab feet tapping fist-pumping music.

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.
