Subject: B & S Mailing List - "I'm A Cuckoo" single and Euro tour dates.

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.

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.

Cheers,
Katrina & Neil @ Banchory.
