Oh man, got to check!

I was listening to the radio this morning as I was getting ready and this band came over the speakers. The sound was fantastic and haunting but once Molly Johnson explained whom the band was composed of, I was left with a dire 'Wow, needs to be checked out!' Get this:

Tired Pony:

Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol)
Richard Colburn (of Belle and Sebastian)
Iain Archer (secondary lyricist for Snow Patrol as well as individual work)
Jacknife Lee (individual work, also worked with U2, R.E.M., Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, AFI, The Hives, Wheezer, Vega4 and Editors)
Peter Buck (of R.E.M)
Scott McCaughey (of The Minus and The Young Fresh Fellows)
Troy Stewart


And get this: their first show was in London where a gal by the name if Lisa Hannigan (worked with Damien Rice) stepped in to sing 'Get on the Road' in place of Zooey Deschanel (acted in Elf, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Failure to Launch, Yes Man, (500) Days of Summer, lead singer in She&Him, and is married to Postal Service and Deathcab For Cutie's frontman Ben Gibbard).

Stocked group much?
