Description
Handsome Waitress ? serving up beautiful Rock, with the silver service of Roll, and hailing from the neighbouring borough of Haringey, we allow this young rock pop combo into the People?s Republic of Camden because they are so very hot to trot.
Mireille ? The titular band and the name of the young woman fronting it, Mireille look set to do big things in 2025. Embracing the English indie rock (let?s not call it Britpop) of Sleeper and Echobelly, and a healthy dose of gritty post grunge from across the pond?part Alanis Morrisette, part Hole. Very good.
Imlac ? embracing the country rock tinges of Americana, with a British/Irish folk sensibility and indie rock tood, Imlac could well be the UK?s answer to Wilco. Nicely honed song craft.
Dandelion ? young band, hot off the press, or at least if there is an indie rock roll press, then they?re hot off it. What?s the time Mr Wolf? Time to see Dandelion. Well blow me down?
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.
