The Vivettes ? the very wonderful Girls On Top played tons of gigs with Bugbear back in the day so we?re very pleased to welcome back Lydie, their drummer, with her new vivacious combo?garage punk and cool trash with nifty originals and some cool covers, such as I Need You by The Kinks.

Nirvanher ? yes, an all gal Nirvana homage, playing all the hits but no dangly bits (apologies to the band, probably not the best tagline that!). The point is?they are bloody brilliant. Fantastic to see women doing that material. No doubt Kurt would approve, being the proper, unabashed feminist he was. (Not that usual for blokes in rock bands back then? )

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.
