Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol has formed a new superband with Peter Buck (REM) and Richard Coburn (Belle & Sebastian).
The Chasing Cars hitmaker is focusing his efforts on new projects during a Snow Patrol hiatus, and he's moved to Buck's adopted Oregon to work on a new country-themed album.
Lightbody, Buck and Coburn are calling themselves Tired Pony.
And it's not the busy frontman's only side project - he is also working on an electronic dance record, under the name Listen... Tanks!, with producer Jacknife Lee.
