Event information

The Fallen Leaves – with a heritage going back to the 1976 dawn of UK Punk Rock (the original Subway Sect, natch, who played the 1976 100 Club Punk Rock Festival alongside Sex Pistols, The Damned, Siouxsie, Buzzcocks etc) and a sincerity of sound dedicated to the essentials of punk, garage and freakbeat (Minimum RnB natch), it’s always a great treat to welcome this band to the stage. They really tore up the place last time around.

“This valve amp, treble-to-the-max rave-up would have had the mid-’60s Who or Pretty Things bricking it backstage at the Embassy Club” Mark Paytress (Mojo)

“This sharp, angular, melodic garage-pop will doubtless appeal to the same authenticity-starved youngsters who have made Billy
Childish their king” Stewart Lee…
Neovenator- rocking a new E.P produced with their svengali the one and only JC Carroll of The Members, these chaps may not be quite so very ‘nouveau’ but they certainly know how to place a power chord and a raffish melodic hook or ten. Bits of The Who, The Stranglers, Pil, you know…groovy gear. Aforementioned EP features ‘Launch Day’, a song about Elon Musk and ‘We’ve Got Killers’ a corking number about…your caring sharing Saturday Night Dublin Castle DJs! See below…anyways… Back Room Bangin’ DJs and billionaire rocketeers- all life is here.

Purple Implosion – Mixing spiky post punk edginess with counter cultural garage birthed rocknroll and featuring some superb Far Out and Out There front man antics…space rock guitar, trashy keys, rippin rhythm section….and always pretty damn psychedelically sassy. The Seeds meet Hawkwind and everyone’s a winner.

DJs We Got Killers – kicking off with Punk Rock whether 60s garage or 70s outhouse, and then going on a journey in dancefloor freakery wherever the amazing Dublin Castle Disco audience wanna go. Strap in!
