punk shows in Dublin (1 Viewer)

[chris]

Hi, i am from Holland so i dont know anything about Dublin, and dont know my way there. Are there people busy puttting up shows, are there venues where punkbands play? Or even bars that play good music???

this week theres:

puget sound playing voodoo lounge on thursdays, thats down on the quays (north side of the river). walk west from o'connell bridge for 10-15 mins and you'll find it.
on saturday steam pig, mouthpiece and some others in the temple, that's on dorset st. walk up to the top of o'connell street on the right hand side, keep walking up past the ambassador and after one or two crossroads you'll come to dorset st. turn right and the temple is at the next crossroads.
on sunday its humbug from norway, kid blunt and xknifedx. in the music room (above the firestone pub) this is real near the city centre, ask for directions to the abbey theatre and its directly across the street. (its one "block" away from o'connell bridge on the northside). as for bars/pubs, dont bother, they are all shit.

see you
