1. From my mail last week:

    Even though Snow Patrol have been quiet the last few months ahead of their forthcoming European shows, front man Gary Lightbody has been anything but...

    Tired Pony began life as a doodle in Gary's jotter. During idle moments on Snow Patrol's year-long tour cycle for their last album, A Hundred Million Suns, Gary began writing songs for this imaginary band. Forward to January 4th 2010, a cast of characters assembled at Portland's Type Foundry studio; from the extended Snow Patrol family there was Troy Stewart, Iain Archer, Belle & Sebastian's Richard Colburn and producer Garret 'Jacknife' Lee, who brought in Tired Pony's final two members, Peter Buck from R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey, the Seattle musical polymath who's been R.E.M.'s full-time auxiliary member since 1994.

    The result is The Place We Ran From a record that begins quietly, and ends with a four-minute feedback storm, with any number of peak moments within.

    Joined by a number of guest contributors including M. Ward and his She & Him partner Zooey Deschanel, as well as Tom Smith of Editors, the much rumoured album will finally see its release on 12th July.

    To get an 8 minute preview inside the studio with Tired Pony as well as have a listen to some of the tracks included on the album, head to the newly launched TiredPony.com.

    Just one word: WOW.

    My ears are still ringing, but it was a fun night. Great gig with a few technical glitches but a band in great mood having fun with what they do.
    Had a nice chat with Gary after the gig. Still as nice as I remember him.

    Snow Patrol 21.05.2010, Berlin:
    open your eyes (opener)
    take back the city
    chocolate
    crack the shutters
    spitting games
    hands open
    the golden floor
    you could be happy
    make this go on forever
    if there's a rocket tie me to it
    shut your eyes
    run
    just say yes
    set the fire to the third bar
    chasing cars
    encore:
    the lightning strike
    you're all i have
