About this event

Bim Skala Bim is on Thursday 5 November 2026 at Dublin Castle, London, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £13.80, including the booking fee.

Bim Skala Bim formed in Boston, MA as a Ska Rock band that was influenced by the bands in England’s 2Tone movement, as well as the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley. Bim’s infectious Boston Blue Beat sound led them to be one of the premier bands kick-starting the Third Wave of Ska in the 1980s. More bands quickly followed their example resulting in a lively scene in Boston and much of the United States. Over the years the band has incorporated secret-agent themes and versioned songs by classic rock acts like Cream, Pink Floyd and Neil Young into their repertoire. And were as likely to dabble in calypso or New Orleans music as ska and reggae! Excellent to welcome these daddies of American Ska to The Dublin Castle tonight. A fab party assured! Rebelation - Rebelation, are an internationally renowned reggae ska band, receiving regular airplay across all continents. Fronted by both male and female vocalists, their sound is steeped in the rich influences of 1960s Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady, and 1970s Roots, with elements of Soul and Gospel woven throughout, tackling social and political themes while promoting a message of positivity, inclusivity and hope. Having established a reputation as a...

The Good Water

Dublin Castle · London

The Good Water - Rather nifty prog tinged psychedelic 3 piece from Brum. Heady swirly stuff and banging heavy shit both performed with aplomb. Sunmachine - Dynamic and atmospheric hard rock from Cambridge. Although their first live show was only in February 2023, their explosive shows are drawing crowds who are pulled in by Sunmachine’s mix of fast-paced bangers and emotive ballads. The energy they produce on stage is nothing short of electric! The Arboretum - two-piece band playing original material that is based around an alternative/industrial rock type vibe, signed to Luminol Recs. Dark, deviant stuff. Jaded Jester - alt-rock/numetal band based in Southend on Sea. Bluesy tinge to the fiery female lead vocal. Good crunch to the music. Talented chaps and chapess. DJ Sammi Starr til 2am

FOGG

Dublin Castle · London

FOGG- rock electro trio…World travellers, sound explorers, reptilian rockers and experimenters. FOGG is a brutal machine, heavy and synthesized with elegant and delicat lumps. They mix electronic music and its aerial textures with the burning fire coming out of a deep and groovy rock tune Their musical universe finds itself between the enchanted melodies of a Radiohead, the violent rock of a Led Zeppelin and the obsessive sequences of a Gesaffelstein.This power trio is firstly made out of a charismatic singer that invites theatre on stage, but also made out of a slender keyboardplayer that invites dance and an impish drummer that knows how to entertain. Three personas, three reptiles molding for offering a warm and sincere performance. linktr.ee/fogg.band DOMI HAWKEN - indie rock/folk artist Domi Hawken is a London-based indie/alternative artist with a sound that refuses to stay in one place.

He has played hundreds of shows around the country, supporting artists like Watchhouse, Jake Xerxes Fussell, and Joan Shelley. He is also a woodworker. Dietrich Strause is an American indie-folk songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in London. His fifth studio album You And I Must Be Out Of My Mind was released on Jeffrey Foucault's Blueblade Records. Strause has spent over a decade weaving timeless melodies with heartbreaking narratives using his “virtuosic command of imagery” and “his knack for vivid, almost literary lyricism” (WBUR,Boston NPR). His songs have been described by Americana UK as “captivating and evocative” with his latest collection no exception. Each one is an exploration and discovery of loss, hope, desire, and disillusionment through images of love-worn soldiers, scrambled weathervanes, listless sailors, and drifting satellites lost in an open heart. Dietrich is a veteran of the indie Americana scene in the US, as well as having performed extensively throughout the UK and EU,...
