9/6/2023 Pussycat & the Dirty Johnsons @ The Dublin Castle

Second night in a row at a gig in Camden - at the Dublin Castle this time. They've now removed the real ale pumps so I won't be drinking much, but at least I know the music will be good! 

I've seen Basingstoke band  Pussycat And The Dirty Johnsons many times over the past few years.😼🎸😈

This band have become very popular at the Dublin Castle and now play here regularly, although I have seen them at quite a few other London venues.
Singer Puss Johnson has a great image and stage presence - a cross between Tank Girl and Catwoman with attitude to match.
The music is rockabilly tinged rock 'n' roll, with a punk attitude. This is very much 'The Devil's music', but with more of a rock edge than blues.
You can expect songs about pizza, sex, serial killers, transvestites, daddy-long-legs, and of course the Devil. Don't expect any soppy ballads - this is all proper in-your-face stuff - loud and mostly aggressive and/or fast - this band take no prisoners! Dirty Jake cranks out mean riffs on the guitar while Filthy Antz pounds the drums - and throws in the odd disco beat to confuse you! Puss straps on a guitar for some songs as well and usually ends up in the crowd at some point - really taking the show to the people. It's all highly entertaining!
This band don't generally do covers, but sometimes they will throw this crowd pleaser in just for fun!
Their merch stand is always worth checking out. I have all their albums now, and have even bought one twice by accident!
Keep an eye out for Pussycat And The Dirty Johnsons - they may be heading your way and they will give you a show you will remember for a long time.
