Red Bull Academy Tent, Sunday 11th July, 2.00pm



Describe in a Tweet: The wild card paid off! Pleasant surprise.



What Happened: We've got to be honest... as ATL approached the tent, the radio friendly indie pop we could hear didn't fill us with excitement - surely we've heard this sort of thing a millions times before? They're a tight band, sure, but a band writing "catchy" tunes indistinctive among the wash of similar musical troupes.

But then something happened. They expertly worked the small but enthusiastic crowd with a reggae type jam, created soley to get the audience to shout "hey" on demand. And then, the turning point. All of a sudden the Futureheads and The Police influences began to take hold and things got a little more interesting. The bass lines are funky and the drums tight, providing the lead singer an incredibly reliable backbone to do his thing.

'Electrical' seems to further show their The Police influences and they end on a song that chants "Oi, Oi Oi", which is never a bad thing for a festival.

All in all, this band were a pleasant surprise for the Sunday afternoon and maybe, if they're in luck, we'll be hearing alot more from these three Kildare lads.



Crazy in Love: The lead singer's failure to make a sound out of a Vuvuzela handed to him on stage. 



99 Problems: The punter with the Vuvuzela who decided to make up for the lead singers failure... again...and again...
