Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody Prepares Side Projects
In a blog post on the band’s website, the Guitarist/Singer confirmed that the work of his two side projects: Tired Pony and Listen…Tanks!, will be completed by the end of January.
Lightbody told Chartattack.com that Tired Pony, whose sound he described as, “country-tinged,” is comprised of, “Garret [Jacknife] Lee, Richard Colburn, Iain Archer, Miriam Kaufmann and myself. There are two others but I’m not going to say who they are just yet as I’m too excited about them and they are very busy people so they could be whisked away for one reason or another so I’ll bite my happy tongue for now.”
Listen…Tanks! will include only Lightbody and Lee, the Grammy-winning producer who has worked with U2, R.E.M., Weezer, Bloc Party and many others.
Along with the two side projects, Lightbody and his Irish/Scottish band are currently working on their sixth studio album.
