Sinister: jeepster-news: snow patrol new single and tour!

[Katrina House]

Hi everyone!

Well, we thought that releasing three albums in the space of 4 weeks was
hectic and stupid and shouldn't be done again ... so guess what?  I have
news of forthcoming singles and tours by snow patrol and Salako,
released one week after the other!  The theme this month is "double
a-sided singles" ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

snow patrol release their double a-side single "velocity girl"/"absolute
gravity" on november 9th 1998.  released on limited edition 7" (JPR7007)
and cd-single (JPRCDS007) which features the bonus track "when you're
right, you're right" and is distributed by 3mv/pinnacle.

this is what the boys had to say about the single ...

hibernation is over, forget your cotton wool and water, snow patrol have
come out to feed.  don't put out nuts and berries, they're looking for
the big kill.  the national monkey reserves have been mobilised for the
velocity girl/absolute gravity offensive.  pulling out all the stops, a
double a-side strategy has been chosen as the best course of action.

softly softly, catch a monkey, "velocity girl" catches up with you after
all the years of smiling in the street but not actually saying hello.  a
warm, warped love song, an understated highlight from the debut album
songs for polar bears.  it sounds like burt bacharach pouring hot chip
fat onto the back of cyndi lauper's hand, accidentally on purpose.

also looming large is "absolute gravity", here to get mischievous with
your dutch caps.  turntable tactician, tom simpson, a regular live
contributor, takes this tune somewhere else.  low down and dirty, it
sounds like two elephants fighting over the love of a small mouse. 
swaggering drunkenly like a sailor looking for a fight, it demands your
attention and has long been a live favourite.

(ooh, bloody hell they're strange!  maybe we shouldn't get the bands to
write their press releases after all ... just joking!)

patrol live at one of the following dates:

Katrina.
