Aura ? Female fronted uber cool indie with nice punky guitars?from Belly to Blondie via The Primitives, Aura tap into a rich vein of gal fronted new wave and indie.

Canada Hill ? a three-piece influenced by the British pop and indie bands of the 60?s, 70?s and 80?s? their name, Canada Hill, is inspired by a viewpoint near Rothesay in West Scotland, where friends and relatives waived a last goodbye to loved ones sailing across the Atlantic to a new life. Nice.

Foreign Voices ? Pearl Jam informed indie grunge? Illustrate magazine said- ?Beneath the polished veneer of the music industry, there are still bands willing to embrace the raw and authentic spirit of rock. It?s an unabashedly direct and unpolished sonic journey that harkens back to the rock era of the ?90s while staying firmly rooted in the present.?

Michael Steele ? Difficult to pair an acoustic with strings and not scream Bryter Later but this fellah pulls it off, and alongside the Nick Drake influence he?s got a bit of a Simon and Garfunkel vibe what with with the sweet harmonizing.

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.
