Event Type

Genre : Music - General

Description

PAYOLA ? Classic indie rock fare. Abrasive Arctic Monkeys guitars and a bit of the old Britpop swagger, all presented with a bunch of corking tunes too.

Candy Opera ? A very nice pop jangle with elements of Merseyside artists like the Bunnymen and The Icicle Works for sure. Good tunes, yeah, and check the pedigree. ?Candy Opera? were formed in 1982 on the notorious Phythian Estate, Kensington, Liverpool. The band was heavily influenced by ?Love?s ? seminal ?Forever Changes? album, ?The Beach Boys?, ?Aztec Camera? and local neighbours, ?The Pale Fountains. Back together for your delectation Tonite.

The Raven Chords ? Americana, folk rock, psych and shugaze coalesce to create a mesmeric pop noir.

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.
