Transmitter give their splendid Empty Train album the official launch treatment on May 6 when they play The Purty Kitchen in Dun Laoghaire.

Recorded at Grouse Lodge studios with Waterboy Steve Wickham pushing the buttons, the 11-track collection is already receiving widespread airplay and A&R interest.

If the trio sound familiar, it's because they've previously played 500 gigs as Blue Monday.
Also upcoming at the seaside venue are Frankie Lane's El Paso (April 22) and Kila (29) who are fresh back from wowing festival crowds in Japan.
