Ides Of Sedition+JC and the Great Plague+Guru Honey Badger
Ides Of Sedition? Chris Bashford, original member of the seminal punk band Chelsea, and keyboardist/
arranger Caralinda Booth
(Shakespears Sister, Thompson Twins, Deborah Harry) plus bassist John Forrester (The Colour Mary, Nozzle), to form The Ides of Sedition. New drummer Johnny Lunn completes the circle.
Their debut album Perfection Is Overrated was released just came out. Expect perfect pop with balls, a whiff of the old New Wave and all nicely coloured with indie electronica.
JC and the Great Plague ? raw, punky?and garagey, yes. A bit of that Libertines/Baby Shambles rancorous ramshackle rocknroll poetic thing for sure. Good shit.
Guru Honey Badger ? Emily and Rachel comprise this performance art come punk theatre come angst horror rock conceptual marvel. You?ll also know Rachel as Madame Crumpet of course, burlesque supreme of RocknRoll Cabaret.
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.
