Santigold Three years ago Santi White played a stunning set in the Cosby tent at EP. We haven’t had much new material from her since but that hasn’t lessened the impact of her live show. The songs from her self-titled debut such as ‘L.E.S. Artistes’ and ‘Say Aha’ have matured into near-classics by now. Easily translated to the larger tent of the Electric Arena, Santigold is an even more commanding performer than before. We also get a sneak peek at new material with a new song that sounds very similar to Drake’s new single ‘Headlines’ [...]

Electric Picnic 2011: PJ Harvey, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, M:Ward, Sinead O’Connor

Sep 6, 2011, 6:35am

Sinead O'Connor What a funny old world we live in. When O'Connor was booked for this year's Electric Picnic, it seemed a sensible - if unspectacular - move. The festival has a history of presenting artists at all stage of their career, and the time is probably right for some kind of reappraisal of herr catalogue. Since then, of course, there have been certain developments that have taken Friday's performance to whole new level. Really, the sexual storm in a tea cup is just another example of her pushing Ireland's buttons but now, instead of shocking [...]

The Clink’s Electric Picnic Picks – Sunday

Aug 31, 2011, 8:30pm

Everything Everything - Photoshop Handsome

The Sunday line-up has a nice balance of chilled out acts and some bands to keep your energy levels up. Pulp play the main stage as the retro headline act, Zola Jesus is a good alternative tho, on the Cosby Stage at the same time. As usual there is plenty to see, so here's our picks: Oh Land - Electric Arena @ 2.30pm There's something in the water in Scandinavia, producing a steady stream of talented female acts. Oh Land is a perfect example of this, [...]

Electric Picnic 2011 preview

Aug 31, 2011, 11:40am

With a line up as healthy as this year's Electric Picnic, trying to make an itinerary can be a bit dizzying. In an effort to help, though this may only add to your indecision, we've asked our writers for their picks of the Picnic. Friday Funeral Suits - Electric Arena: Friday, 3.45pm 'Colour Fade' is one of the best songs of 2011, an atmospheric indie-pop number with echoey vocals that give it a mini-gang-chorus effect, making it immediately familiar and sing-along - seeing it live is enough reason to down cans and kick off [...]

The Clink’s Electric Picnic Picks – Saturday

Aug 31, 2011, 8:30am

Coachella 2011 - Arcade Fire - Wake Up.mp4

Saturday's line-up is pretty killer. The main stage seems to have it locked down, if you don't fancy moving around between stages the last four acts of the day on the main stage are gold (James Blake, Lykke Li, Arcade Fire & The Chemical Brothers), that said there's still lots more to see, here's our picks: Nightbox - Cosby Stage @ 12.15pm Nightbox are an Irish band currently based out of Toronto, who are performing their debut irish shows over the next few weeks. We [...]

Last year's Electric Picnic 2010 mixtape went down so well, when it came time to do one for 20112s Electric Picnic I couldn't whittle the tracks down to one mixtape. So I decided to do two - Day and Nite . Mixtape 1 - Day represents the guitar angle, the folk musicians, the indie, the rock and everything in between. Mixtape 2 - Nite represents the more electronic side of the festival, the beats, the repetition and the remixes. An abridged downloadable version containing OK to download [...]

The Point Of Everything

Pulp - Common People - Reading [Sat 27th August 2011]

I am not a big fan of Pulp but I was sat in front of my TV on Saturday night at 10pm cos I had nothing better to do. BBC3 were showing Reading, which was headlined by the Strokes. Preceding the boring New Yorkers though was Pulp. By all accounts [Read more]
