don't know if y'all saw this already... from ananova.com Lightbody forms Scot superband Members of Belle & Sebastian, Arab Strap and Mogwai have teamed up to record a 15-track album. They have got together under the leadership of Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody. The collective, which calls itself Reindeer Section, will release Y'All Get Scared Now a Hear! on August 6 through Bright Star recordings. They intend to make their live debut at T In The Park on July 8. Lightbody told NME.com: "It's all thanks to Lou Barlow in a way. He did three gigs at Nice N' Sleazy in January and everyone was there. I went around drunkenly saying, 'I've started a band called Reindeer Section' - I've no idea where the name came from! - 'And would you like to be in it?'" Apparently, Lightman was so excited by the idea of the combo that he hastily set about getting down to work, wrote 15 songs the following day and got everyone together to record them. Reindeer Section features Mogwai's John Cummings, Arab Strap's Aidan Moffat, Belle & Sebastian's Richard Colburn and Mick Cooke, Colin MacIntyre from Mull Historical Society, Jenny Reeve of Eva, Willie Campbell and Charlie Clarke from Astrid and Snow Patrol's Jonny Quinn, all of whom Lightbody hopes will appear at their T In The Park gig. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
