UGH. Wish I could go! :sad:

 

But anyway here's a great review I read of Fallen Empires. Got me really pumped for the new album. :dance:

Just came here to post that. It really makes me all :dance: :dance: :mad:

But no album release date or tour :(

^Not yet. :nice: Don't worry, it's on it's way!

guys do you ever get emails from snowpatrol.com??? cause I never do, I'm wondering if they ever send any like The Messenger or maybe I'm just being ignored :S

I was wondering the same last week actually!

I haven't received an email from SP for ages. :thinking:

Think I'll subscribe to them with another email address again.

I think they're all going to my spam. :P!

Back and what I'm treated with?! A fantasticly funny music video with a gL more Lightbodyesque than ever :laugh3: Geez, I missed that man!

I'm super excited about the new album reading the critic posted before (@Kimmi, I just red your link you sent me via twitter, the snippets on amazon are not available anymore T.T)

Just re-subscribe to the mailing list.

Just got the e-mail.

 

 

To celebrate the release of the ‘Called Out In The Dark EP’, we are excited to announce we will be playing a one-off special show on September 5th at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London.

 

We will be playing tracks from the new album, “Fallen Empires”, as well as few other surprises - more details on that later this week.

 

Pre-sale tickets will be on sale from 9:00 am on Tuesday 23rd August 2011, and will close at 9:00pm. More information on general sale later this week.

 

 

Sweet mother of god I want to go. Too bad I live four thousand miles away and am super busy this fall. :sad:.

I haven't gotten their emails for over a year. Re-signed up for mailing list, but I'm a little ticked off because I have a good friend who will be in London that week and would love to go, and apparently the emails had some special code or something for a pre-sale. Ugh...

EDIT; Never mind, we got her one.

Good! I'd be seriously bummed if I was in London and didn't have the chance to be at this. It's going to be amazing. :freak:.

something i came up with over the weekend...well, on Sunday really...been wanting to do this for a while now, though my original idea was quite different.

 

 

(clicky on the piccy above to see it in its original size, with more details...i.e. the words)

 

i'm sure some of you (i.e. Aurelie & Anna ;) ) will recognise the central image i used...or destroyed...or defaced. depending on how you see it.

 

i've always felt that Banksy graffiti piece & the lyrics to Run suited each other very well. here's the end result. :)

that's really cool and well put together. I knew I recognised the artwork from somewhere. The lyrics seem to suit the picture too. Also love the positioning of the Snow Flake too :)

That looks great!! :)

You're so lucky to have a ticket for the Shepherd's Bush concert! :bomb: :dead:

I really like the new song, looking forward to hear the rest of the album soon! :dance:

Friend got a ticket. Very jealous but happy for her, since I don't think she's seen SP live before. She generally takes a ton of video at concerts, so if she records any new songs, I'll be sure to link you guys to them. :)

 

(Also, I'm pretty sure Fallen Empires will kick the crap out of Mylo Xyloto quality-wise. I can say that here, right?)

of course you can lol. if you go back a good few pages you'll see me giving Coldplay a brutal slagging off because they need to be more like Snow Patrol haha

AHhhhhhh Banksy :awesome: Great job dear! So you've got a tix for the gig?!! Lucky girl! (hum....didn't have the message from SP though I use to have them.... :thinking: must re-register...!)

Enjoy and hope you'll manage to see the polarbears afterwards!

Yes you can! :kiss:

I think so, too... :cry:

Looks amazing! Love that Banksy graffiti.

Run :heart:

thanks guys & girls! :)

glad i'm not the only one who thinks that. when i saw that picture, somehow, first thing i thought off was "Run!" (the song...obviously).

 

have to admit that snowflake wasn't meant to be there. last minute addition.

think you'll find that most've been saying that already (in varying degrees on kicking the crap-ness). title already wins over Mylo Xyloto...the DJs are having a field day getting ppl to guess what it could possibly mean. :dozey:

 

That looks great!! :)

did you see my link to the Amazon UK site? you can listen to snippets of the EP's songs there...loving Fallen Empires (the song) already! :D

 

i might give this app a go on the night...see how "live" the experience is.

Gigorama - get to know the latest updates live from the concert (or so the website says). mixing my work with play. it's market/competitor research after all...haha ;)

yes, i did!!! :dance: SO excited!!! Bianca & Elena already told me they're coming over for it... :D

 

i might not stay on after the gig tho...i'm tempted to, since i can get a 24hr bus back direct to my flat nearby. but i'll probably only stay on if i get both Monday & Tuesday off from work. not sure yet if i can even take Monday off in the first place. else it'll be a mad dash from work to Shepherd's Bush...it's just 2 stops away on the Central line from work, but i only finish at 6pm earliest. argh! :\

the stage:barrier distance at the Empire is (as Min put it) the closest i've ever been to the stage at a gig when the 2 of us went for Frightened Rabbit last year!

& i DO wonder if the venue was specially chosen for the name as well as small capacity... :sneaky:

 

the rules to get the ticket (i.e. wristbands) are REALLY strict. but i personally think it's great they're taking such strict measures, heard there's even a 2 per household limit! for one thing, it makes sure that the touts won't snap up the tickets as buyers with 2 tickets must be there with their +1 to be wristbanded (i.e. ticket collection) together on the day...no running off with a spare wristband. else the fact that they'll be playing tracks from their not-yet-released album at this gig'd probably make it a hot tout target. heard some other small gigs by big bands in London have been taking this approach to ticketing lately.

 

on that note, i hope they do a special plastic or fabric wristband, just for a unique keepsake given the collection procedure. i doubt it tho. :P

 

& Aurelie: there's some tickets up for general sale now...no code required. & it's the standing section... :wink3:

they have taking off the links :cry: bastards!

I know but I just came back from vacation and I can't take two days off work right now, plus when there is a lot to do there.... :cry:

So you'll have to carry the SP love for me.... (and despite what she says, I'm sure Virginie will go too :p)

Oh I wish Aurélie, I wish!... but I went over to the website to buy my ticket ealier today and it said "sold out"... :cry:

 

I'm doomed... so if anyone have a spare ticket, I'm very friendly and I'd be a nice and fun +1! ;)
