Happy New Year everyone. Please see below from Katrina.

Happy New Year to you all! Belle & Sebastian kick off 2004 with the release of the second single from "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" and the announcement of European shows in March. February 16th is the release date for "I'm A Cuckoo" on Rough Trade Records for the UK and Europe. The single comes out on three formats:- * 7" single featuring "I'm A Cuckoo" and "(I Believe In) Travellin' Light" * Enhanced CD single featuring "I'm A Cuckoo", "Stop, Look and Listen", "I'm A Cuckoo (by The Avalanches)" and "(I Believe In) Travellin' Light" as well as the video for "I'm A Cuckoo". * DVD single featuring "I'm A Cuckoo" video, a weird kind of hybrid between photo gallery and video, which you'll have to see to understand for "Stop, Look and Listen", "I'm A Cuckoo (by The Avalanches)" audio and "(I Believe In) Travellin' Light" audio. The "I'm A Cuckoo" video stars Stuart as a budding athlete torn between the demands of his coach (played by Alan Wells, winner of the olympic gold medal over 100m in 1978), band politics and the women in his life. It was directed by Blair Young - who edited the "Fans Only" DVD - and Stuart Murdoch. "I'm A Cuckoo (by The Avalanches)" is B&S' first ever remix, which has taken so little of the original we didn't think the title remix did it justice. So we've just called it their version. Very exciting! The band have also announced the following European tour dates for March 2004. March 8th PARIS, Grand Rex March 10th MADRID, Divina Aqualung March 11th MADRID, Divina Aqualung March 12th VALENCIA, Palacio de Congresos March 13th BARCELONA, Razzmatazz March 14th BILBAO, Teatro Arriaga March 16th CLERMONT FERRAND, La Cooperative De Mai March 17th MILAN, Alcatraz March 18th MUNICH, Muffathalle March 20th HAMBURG, Docks March 21st COLOGNE, Live Music Hall March 22nd BERLIN, Columbiahalle March 24th COPENHAGEN, Store Vega March 25th GOTHENBURG, Tradgarden March 26th OSLO, Rockefeller March 28th STOCKHOLM, Munchenbryggeriet March 30th BRUSSELS, AB Club March 31st UTRECHT, Vredenburg You can get details of where to buy tickets and prices from the B&S website at http://www.belleandsebastian.com/tour.php There will be more euro shows announced for the first half of this year, especially for those living in France, so please be patient! Lastly, just before Christmas we made some spiffing new B&S flight bags, button badges and mousemats which we forgot to tell you about, but are all still available at the Banchory Online store at http://www.banchoryshop.net/ We're also helping out our mates Franz Ferdinand and snowpatrol by stocking their merch, so check out their wares from the shop too if you've got extra Christmas money to spend.
