Yes, it?s Siouxsie and the Banshees nite ?step Into .. The Light?. Laurence Hedges will be in discussion with Tony Gleed regarding all things Sioux shaped from 1980 to 1987, as part 2 of his in-depth Banshees biography series hits the marketplace.

? Into The Light ?is about right too? not only a Banshees banger from the era, but also an indication of their huge popularity from fourth LP Ju-Ju onwards, as Punk melts into Goth and chart returns and big shows both multiply.

A fascinating discussion around the book will no doubt ensue, with further questions invited from the floor?and books will be available to buy on the night. Get a few?Christmas is round the corner!

Alongside a suitably Banshees inspired DJ set from We Got Killers? Tone Trash, steel yerself for a brilliant interpretation of Siouxsie and co.?s output when tonight?s event climaxes with the return of excellent Siouxsie and the Banshees homage Painted Bird, back to perform their stunning interpretation of this singular, incredible music.

As they rightly say, this may be ?a tribute to the music of Siouxsie and the Banshees? But It?s not about looky-likeys. ?We don?t play dress-up, we just kick ass on the music.?..Ninety minutes plus of prime Siouxsie, all eras, all lineups all done to perfection. Close yer eyes and it?s them. Uncanny. And brilliant. Can?t wait!

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.
