🎶 VINYL OF THE WEEK 🎶

This week’s pick comes from our very own DJ Dan who’s chosen an album that helped define British guitar music: Oasis – Definitely Maybe.

Released in August 1994, Oasis’ debut album introduced the world to tracks including Rock ‘n’ Roll Star, Live Forever, Supersonic and Ci******es & Alcohol. More than three decades later, its influence on British indie and rock music is undeniable.

But for Dan, this record is much more than a classic:

“Definitely Maybe is the most important debut album of all time. It defined the sound of a generation and has continued to inspire every generation since. More than 30 years later, it feels every bit as important and influential as it did in 1994.

For me, it was my musical awakening. It was my gateway into indie music and from Oasis I discovered so many other legendary bands.

From the opening chords, it’s pure rock ’n’ roll, with every track an anthem. I can’t wait to hear some of those songs live again next year.”

And remember, our vinyl collection isn’t just for display! Choose a record from behind the bar and ask our team to give it a spin while you enjoy a drink.

What’s your favourite track from Definitely Maybe?

Berlin progressive metal quartet CHAOSBAY are heading to Barfly on Friday 19th March 2027. 🔥**

Armed with new music and a fresh chapter ahead, CHAOSBAY are taking their 2027 tour across Europe and the UK, bringing their signature combination of crushing riffs, technical precision and progressive songwriting to Camden.

Expect intricate musicianship, heavy grooves and a live show that the band themselves describe as somewhere between musical madness and complete ecstasy.

If progressive metal is your thing, get this one in the diary.

✨ THROWBACK THURSDAY ✨

Before Are You Gonna Be My Girl became an international hit, Australian rockers .theband were making their first moves on the UK live circuit, including a stop at our Camden stage.

2003 would prove to be a defining year for the band, with the release of their debut album Get Born, which featured ‘Last Chance’ alongside tracks including Rollover D.J., Look What You’ve Done and Are You Gonna Be My Girl.

This footage captures Jet right at the beginning of their international breakthrough, bringing their brand of guitar-driven rock ’n’ roll to Barfly.

Another piece of Barfly history from the archives.

With tracks like ‘Bullet Between My Teeth’, ‘Black Out’ and ‘Kiss Kiss Kiss’ already under his belt, Loveshy is a name worth getting familiar with.

We caught him performing ‘Spineless’ live at Barfly, and we’re passing this one straight onto your radar.

Bioux Hayes presents The BB Club at Barfly; built around the music that has soundtracked Camden after dark for generations.

The next edition lands on Friday 23rd October, with DJ Bijoux joined by D’LULU and Dj Sue (who some of you may remember her from the Casino Royale days!) running right through until 3am.

Expect Rock ’n’ Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Mod, Punk and Indie, with the DJs reading the room and taking the night wherever the dancefloor demands.

It’s a nod to the classic era of late-night Camden; a proper Friday night built around great records, a busy dancefloor and staying out far later than you intended...

Pints from £5 pints all night!
FREE TILL 10-T£N AFTER THEN
