Really amazing stuff here by Arcade Fire for the video for their latest single – “We Used To Wait”. Pushing the realms of the music video to create something truly interactive and unique for every viewer. I don’t think it works as well in Ireland as it does in other places, as it uses google street view which isn’t as complete here but still, it’s really impressive.
CHAD VALLEY
Really recommend this act from the UK who’s riding the chillwave, eh, wave, that’s so popular right now.

It’s a sunny day and we’re getting in the Electric Picnic mood! Here’s our top 5 day by day must sees at Leccie Piccie…
FRIDAY
FOALS
I’m sure you need little convincing to go and watch Foals. Their tent is going to be rammed and I’ve got a feeling a lot of people are going to leave having seen the best show of the weekend. If you’ve already seen Foals live, you know what I’m talking about – you’ll be unlikely to see a more energetic show all weekend.
FREELANCE WHALES
Big fans of these and will be perfect for some chilled goodness. Bands like this are what make Electric Picnic particularly enjoyable.
THE SUBS
You may have noticed, but we here at Transmission are big, BIG fans of The Subs. They’ve graced our stage twice and their slot at Electric Picnic is a sign of how well things are going for one of the best dance acts to come from Belgium. For me, they’re one of the few acts that manage to transform their recording music live, and actually make it way better than their recordings.
KORMAC’S BIG BAND
Things have really kicked of for Kormac, and I can tell you it’s fully deserved. Along with his band he brings a performance full of originality and fun that guarantees smiles all round. He was one of the genuine highlights of Glastonbury this year and also, for me, at the Body and Soul festival.
The Transmission Radio crew assembles once again to educate, inform and entertain. Here’s what’s on the musical menu for this month’s show:
Mystery Jets – Show Me The Light

Patrick Lee – Quittin’ Time
Best Coast – Boyfriend
Monthly chart time again and as usual i’ve managed to get the residents to throw some tracklinks my way to show what they’ve been liking this month in their sets down at the Button Factory (blood and stone comes to mind). No prizes for guessing some of the choices, but let us know what you think anyway by leaving us a comment here on the site whether you like our choices or not?
Also this Saturday at Transmission we’ve got the residents playing. If you’d like to come along just add your name to the €5 list by clicking this link.
