Popscene (Blur Tribute)

Event information

Popscene - What better name for a beautiful tribute to Blur…back in 1995 the real thing infamously played a Dublin Castle 'secret' gig at the height of post Parklife Blurmania. And what a night it was. I recall Damon’s battered organ hanging off the edge of the cramped stage.

Anyway, here's Popscene to help you relive that sadly barely documented event. London Zoo is just up the road so you could also easily catch Gorillaz this evening too...(sorry,,we did that ‘joke’ last time Popscene played and the time before).

Tonight, support care of Headcase - full on, frantic punky indie with a suitably nutty frontman and superb, committed performances all round. Quite a bit of early Blur in there maybe, the more visceral end at least - see also the cranked up rhythm n booze end of late seventies stuff like the Hot Rods or even Slaughter and the Dogs. Excellent fun.
