15/3/2024 Pussycat and The Dirty Johnsons @ The Dublin Castle

Back down at one of Camden's best known venues to see a band who are regular performers here. 😾😈 But first, a bit of an oddity.

This is The Tropic Trio. A new band to me but quite interesting. A bit weird, as their appearance might suggest - but underneath they are basically rock 'n' roll - with an odd twist. Good musicians too.

Then it's onto tonight's headliners:  Pussycat and The Dirty Johnsons have played the Dublin Castle many times over the last few years and have built up quite a following - with good reason.

Their music is dirty punky rock 'n' roll, with a hint of metal thrown into the mix - I could see them supporting Motörhead back in the day - I think Lemmy would have liked them.🂡

Dirty Jake cranks out mean rock 'n' roll riffs on the guitar while Filthy Antz lays down down some rock solid beats - and chucks in the odd curveball by throwing the occasional disco beat - just because he can! The band doesn't include a bass player - they used to have one but...

The band have a distinct sound and style of their own, but it's their singer you will remember the most. 

Puss Johnson is a fearsome cross between Catwoman and Tank Girl - with big boots and an attitude to match! 😈 Mess with her at your peril!

The band may not have a bass player, but towards the end of their set a violin player appears on the stage for a guest spot - you never know what's going to happen with this lot, but you know it will never be boring!

Another great Friday night in Camden with a terrific band! If you see that Pussycat and The Dirty Johnsons are heading your way I highly recommend that you go and see them.
