You may find the definition of decent music varies. I know nowhere in dub that plays what you're looking for. Good luck.

ro1798

ok music that is not in the top 30 chart or on the hip hop rnb chart..

seems every genre has a night in dublin cept the one i want to hear...

thanks for help

not the biggest fan of hearing the same 'best indie album in the world ever' on rotation but sometimes it better than nothing. Surely Whelans or any of the plethora of bars on wexford st. play this stuff?

Punchbowl

Whelans is the only place for this.. that or a time machine..

ro1798

anything is better than whats i have been hearing latly, like somewhere that plays the following

sigur ros
arcade fire
editors
stone roses
happy mondays
belle and sebastian
pink floyd
dj shadow..

that type of stuff
so whelans?

There are a few indie nights in dub. Entertainment.ie is your best bet to find them. Or google>indie night dublin

The Oak on dame street in your only man for madchester stuff. Downstairs stays open late and is free too.

I cant stand all the R&B ****e, not just the music but the attitude that goes with it, everyone trying so hard to be cool.

Toast in Rathmines plays the best manchester music in Dublin.....make that the best music in Dublin.

ian, what nights are the manchester stuff.. and do they play joy division etc...

Sinfonia

Doyle's on the weekend = indie, rock, classic soul, funk, odd bit of new wave and country, etc.
So if you like Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Kings of Leon, Aretha, Johnny Cash etc etc etc, it's good

The Hub does indie nights during the week, not sure what nights though...

they try to play up to their soviet image by playing joy division, interpol and the smiths on repeat. because they clearly think those bands are so bloody dark and must sound like a soundtrack to east berlin. they are wrong of course and if thats what they want to project they should play some of the great aussie bands that setteld in Germany in the 80's like crime and the city solution

if you want good music you need a bar with a jukebox.

Downstairs in The International bar has a majestic jukebox as does Smiths in Fairview for some strange reason, the image of a few confused auld lads sitting at the bar sipping on their Guinness as 'Debaser' blared out all around then is one that won't be leaving me for a while.

I'm a big fan of downstairs in the National, great jukebox…. although I inadvertently started a racist chant the other day when I put on "Rise" by Public Image ltd, some beared man kept shouting "Thank F**k" after the line "I could be white". They used to have a guy called Ken Murphy playing downstairs on Wednesdays (I think...) he'd get dressed up in Glam Rock attire, get up on tables ‘given it socks.

okay I know it's not Dublin but if anyone reading this is living in Athlone and looking for something similar myself and a mate run a club night once a month - more info and setlists available here: http://bigcitynights.bebo.com

Indie nights in the Hub, Doyle's on a Thursday, Whelans/Village most nights, Chemistry in Spy on a Wednesday, Crawdaddy.

Have you ever been to an indie club?

I know of no other genre that attracts so many people, with the attitude you described. Tons of people looking miserable and trying to be more alternative to everyone else.

Death or Glory

What's that Chemistry in Spy like?

Theres a decent enough Jukebox in "The Hairy Lemon", the music blasts out pretty loud too!
