Permanent Joy Division Passion + (Official Tribute) + Special Guest DJ Soundcekdj + We Got Killers (Evening) + The Voodoo Rays + Pram Invasion + The Legendary Too Drunk + DJ (afternoon)

Permanent Joy Division Passion – from Italia, and nominated by Peter Hook himself as an officially approved Joy Division tribute, you really won’t experience a better expression of the band than this. Performed with utter conviction, and yes, passion, they nail the sound of Transmission, She’s Lost Control, Dead Souls et al completely. And they look right too. Fantastic. Known Pleasures… Arrive nice and early for a special DJ set by Italiano DJ Soundcekdj, who specialises in ‘British sound’, post punk and Eighties and Indie Rock bangers. The Dublin Castle will be a home from home for him no doubt. Then from 11pm Tony Bugbear takes the regular Saturday night eclectic dance party that is We Got Killers to the dancefloor.    Matinee show 1.30pm – ticketed separately HERE https://wegottickets.com/event/697171/ LEGENDARY TOO DRUNK AND CHUMS’ AFTERNOON OUT… yes, it is , Too Drunk, indie punx with a thirst are sensibly going on first so they can get pished and enjoy the other bands. Cos they are ace. Take Pram Invasion, who have made a rather brilliant bitter sweet indie pop album redolent of XTC or Squeeze (find it on Bandcamp or similar. But do find it. It comes heavily recommended) – anyway you get them and then you get The Voodoo Rays, headliners at about 4pm – cos don’t forget this is a matinee gig. They are searing pop psychedelicists who straddle their time betwixt Brighton and The Smoke for maximum influence of marine cadences and urban swagger. Probably.  Three ace bands in the afternoon and CHEAP in advance! Come on down.
