Sat 24th June The Dublin Castle

Pussycat & The Dirty Johnsons + Army Of Skanks
+ The Featherz + Anarchistwood

Pussycat And The Dirty Johnsons is always immense, most definitely not to be missed. They just get better and better, the intensity of their very own brand of punk rock, the quality of the material, it’s all remarkably uplifting. The Stooges, Pistols, Stooges, Cramps and The Ramones all resonate but none of them guys had the confrontational but sympatico Puss up front challenging the audience at every whoop and yelp and delivering such monstrously cool songs. Why aint they massive part 94…. Also playing – Army Of Skanks – Powerfully hewn girls to the fore punk pop n roll with a Runaways meets Babes In Toyland feel. Plus, The Featherz, Danie Cox’s Bowie and glam informed punk rock passion play.
