The Longshots+Maudlin+Patrick Lyons MeU+Birrell Or Biscuit

The Longshots ?Rhythm n Blues in the Hot Rods/Feelgoods/Bishops tradition. Rocks hard. Choice slick licks and crunching rhythm section plus some harp blowing grooviness.

Maudlin ? nice shonky but melodically honed guitars, a bit of a Radiohead vibe, but more pastoral, folky. Like early Del Amitri, before they became MOR and were an interesting quirky left field guitar band. Then again a bit sort of peak era Verve in the blend too. Nice.

Patrick Lyons MeU ? poet, raconteur, psychedelicist and all round bohemian force of nature, Patrick Lyon?s brings his MeU to the DC tonite for a little interspacial probing with his fab all star band. ?Together, they create a sonic experience that transcends genres, combining music and poetry in a powerful celebration of art, activism and love? ?Yay!

Birrell Or Biscuit ? Craig Birrell, purveyor of fine slacker pop outta Dunfermline, and a bit of Scots heritage, as in Fannies, Pastels, 18 Wheeler in the sound?a nice effortless psych pop that also recalls things like that Manfredd Mann spin off doing the theme tune to Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads ! Honest!

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.
