Interview: Tired Pony / Gaesteliste.de Internet-Musikmagazin (Part 2)

Gary: Ja, in gewisser Weise ist das so. Es war wirklich so, dass wir uns um diese Dinge absolut keine Sorgen gemacht haben. Es hätte durchaus schief gehen können, aber das war kein Thema für uns. Wir wollten einfach zusammen Musik machen, eine gute Zeit haben und uns allein auf die Songs besinnen. Am Anfang war auch kein Label involviert, so dass es keinerlei Druck von außen gab, wie es so oft der Fall ist. Es war insgesamt ein reines Vergnügen, im Studio zu sein und bei der Entstehung der einzelnen Songs zuzusehen. Wenn nötig, hätte ich das Album sogar auch als Download umsonst ins Internet gestellt. Das sollte ich vielleicht besser nicht sagen, aber mir ist einfach wichtig, dass die Leute da draußen die Musik zu hören bekommen. Die finanzielle Seite ist in diesem Fall nebensächlich für uns gewesen.

GL.de: Ehrlicherweise muss aber auch gesagt werden, dass ihr als Musiker bereits so gut etabliert und damit auch in einer idealen Ausgangslage seid, um euch gedanklich von dem meist nicht unerheblichen, finanziellen Aspekt frei zu machen.

Peter: Ja, natürlich. Trotzdem muss ich klar sagen, dass Musik für mich schon immer etwas Ehrenhaftes an sich hatte. Kreativ zu sein, ist für mich seit meiner ersten Berührung mit der Musik stets im Vordergrund gewesen. Ich bin immer gerne unter den verschiedensten Umständen an musikalischen Prozessen beteiligt, egal ob es mit einer so etablierten Band wie R.E.M. ist oder auch in einem viel kleinerem Rahmen. Mir ist es prinzipiell nicht so wichtig, ob ich nun ein paar tausend oder vielleicht Millionen von Platten verkaufe. Ich war ziemlich überrascht, als ich gemerkt habe, wie hoch das Interesse der Medien an Tired Pony ist. Damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Ich spiele auch gerne mal vor vielleicht 180 Leuten irgendwo auf einer kleinen Bühne in Upstate New York mitten in der Woche. Für mich zählt das Gefühl Musik zu machen mehr als jegliche finanzielle Entschädigungen. Die sind immer zweitrangig.

Gary: Ich denke, dass die Medien so großes Interesse an diesem Projekt zeigen, weil natürlich viele namhafte Künstler daran beteiligt sind. Für uns war das bei der Zusammenarbeit überhaupt nicht ausschlaggebend und es hat sich zum größten Teil zufällig so ergeben, aber die Presse stürzt sich nun einmal gerne auf so etwas. Wir sehen uns einfach nur als Musiker, die gerne zusammen kommen. Die Presse mag vielleicht gerne eine große Geschichte daraus machen, aber wir haben die Arbeit nicht mit einem großen Ziel im Hinterkopf begonnen.

GL.de: Haltet ihr es für möglich, dass ihr mit diesem Album gerade bei der jüngeren Generation etwas mehr Interesse am Genre Country-Musik wecken könntet? Immerhin ist die Schnittstelle zur Popmusik mit den gegebenen Kollaborationen auf der Platte gegeben.

Gary: Ja, das halte ich durchaus für möglich, auch wenn ich es nicht vorhersagen kann. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Fans von Snow Patrol oder auch R.E.M. einen Seitenblick auf dieses wunderbare Genre wagen würden und so damit in Berührung kommen. Wenn auf diese Weise der Country-Musik etwas mehr Interesse entgegen gebracht wird, fände ich das fantastisch.

GL.de: Die Aufnahmen zum Album fanden Anfang des Jahres in Portland statt. War es schwierig, alle involvierten Künstler zu diesem Zeitpunkt zusammen zu trommeln?
Gary: Wir haben die Platte im Januar in Portland aufgenommen und das Gute daran war, dass zu dieser Jahreszeit kaum jemand irgendwelche Pläne schmiedet oder bis über beide Ohren in Arbeit steckt. Für unserer Projekt war es wirklich optimal, dass wir genau zu dieser Zeit mit den Aufnahmen begonnen haben. Die Ausgangslage hätte nicht besser sein können. Niemand wagt sich wirklich vor die Tür, einfach weil es draußen viel zu kalt für Unternehmungen ist und so konnten wir alle sehr motiviert unserer Kreativität ihren Lauf lassen. Außerdem hatte gerade ein neues Jahr begonnen und da ist man meistens sowieso euphorisch, wenn man sich einer neuen Sache widmet. Auch was das Touren angeht, hatten wir Glück, denn bei der Kälte will normalerweise auch niemand ständig unterwegs sein. Da ist es doch viel schöner, wenn man zusammen in einem Studio hockt und in angenehmer Atmosphäre an Songs arbeiten kann.

GL.de: Mitte Juli werden Tired Pony das erste Mal live in Erscheinung treten und ihr werdet in London gemeinsam auf der Bühne stehen. Was kann man da erwarten?

Peter: Wir haben gar keine große Show geplant. Es wird keine nackten Mädchen oder Laser-Projektionen geben (lacht). Wir werden die Möglichkeit nutzen, die vorhandenen Songs teilweise durch Improvisationen aufzulockern und wollen den entstandenen Live-Sound, der auf dem Album herrscht, auch auf der Bühne wiederherstellen.

Gary: Es werden bei dem Konzert in London alle Mitglieder der Band auch live auf der Bühne mit dabei sein, so viel steht fest. Vielleicht wird es einige Überraschungen geben... Es kann sein, dass Tom Smith Zeit für einen kurzen Besuch findet. Wenn alles gut läuft, dann werden wir eventuell noch ein paar weitere Shows spielen. Falls wir bei unserem Bühnendebüt versagen, dann war es die erste und gleichzeitig die letzte Show von Tired Pony! (lacht)

Tired Pony Interview

Snow Patrol singer and guitarist REM: human as well as musically a great combination.


A new supergroup? Or just friendly artists who play music together out of pure joy? Tired Pony are in the forefront of Gary Lightbody (34), lead singer of Snow Patrol, and Peter Buck (53), of his sign-REM guitarist. Together with colleagues of Belle & Sebastian, among other things, they have received in a week or a quiet album, “The Place We Ran From”. In a discussion to give the two, only in old age are quite different between men very modest, but still talkative. “You talk about football again?” Asked Buck, as he and floral shirt and jacket enters the room. Lightbody, the fidgety, lanky front mannn is, Ire. And for an interview time at the World Cup is still on everyone’s lips, you can lose about once a word. Before one is the favorite topic of Buck and Lightbody turns – the music.

tele look: Ireland is a fairly small fish in world football, but has many sympathies. If only the French who have cheated with Thierry Henry’s handball at the World Cup participants?

Gary Lightbody: Henry now is certainly not the most welcomed guest. But the team has such extreme supporters. It’s always about the party, no matter whether you lose or win, and that is indeed the spirit of a World Cup. Football is the only field where national pride is fine. If I was halfway in a position, I would cover a jersey and start running …

Polarbear. Now comes Tired Pony. You probably in a few years from a private zoo bands.

Lightbody (grinning): That is my mission. I’m working my own Fantasiezoo. But actually, the expression Tired Pony mean nothing, I have a bit herumgekritzelt in my notebook, written down the name and do not know why.

tele look: Why did you not long after the Snow Patrol tour also made a break like your band mates?

Lightbody: The others have time off earlier this year, and I did not want to stop making music.

tele look: Because you can hold still so bad?

Lightbody: Yes, I can but I would not. If there would be something for which I would like to make a break, I would do so. But there is nothing, I have no child, to which I would like – so I make as much music as possible is. Therefore, it was the perfect time for the Tired Pony recordings.

tele look: Is the project a great playground for all of you?

Lightbody: It is mainly a project more. That was only until I thought about it. When we went into the studio together, Tired Pony was immediately on the first day of the band.

Peter Buck: With people who can improvise … I really did feel like it. For me it was exciting to have only eight days left for an album. This type of work, I know not with REM. It had nothing to dazugefügt, no second single – great!

tele look: It was so beautiful, sometimes not so have to be perfect?

Buck: perfectionism was never a goal for me. I think it’s silly, but to strive band. Music means more to have a freedom that we in real life is not private to me. So, I do not let anything stand and lie and get out times just after one week from Tahiti. I have a life. Even with REM I’m the one who keeps everything loose. I am a fast worker, and I guess that’s why I was also hired here.

tele look: Is that right, Gary?

Lightbody: Well, if I want to make music, Peter Buck is at any time at the top of the list. All the Tired Pony history was as if I could put together my dream football team. Peter seemed very unrealistic. That could go wrong, but it’s fantastic that it worked from the moment when we sat together in Portland. We knew we just want to play some gigs, and so it was a relaxed, very liberating affair.

tele look: That is, there are at Snow Patrol restrictions that do not you taste Sun

Lightbody: Oh, constraints, I would not call. I take the job just as a musician very seriously, in the case of Snow Patrol too seriously. And I think by Tired Pony I recalled that one band you should not cause any sleepless nights, but can let you sleep well. It now refers not only to my restlessness. Peter also has difficulty sleeping, which is probably attributable to the whole of this irregular rhythm. During life on the road you can never rest, I can not keep my rhythm, and so I think my nerves are sometimes bare.

tele look: But would not it more important to find a more relaxed access to your main job?

Lightbody: It would be quite safe, but I have not yet found him. I’m really not very good at relaxing me.

tele look: Okay, Peter, to compensate: What are you not good?

Buck: I’m not one who wants a lot of other people. I have three friends with whom I meet, more is not.

tele look: What happens when Pony Tired unexpectedly successful and goes through the roof?

Lightbody: Then I’ll buy me a swimming pool. But I do not think that is realistic. And this should indeed not happen.

Buck: The success is to have made this album – so it was with REM We started small, we thought that we do not need a bikini girls in our videos. I was beginning to honestly believe that we are making great music. And so we have slowly increased with each album sold a little bit more. Now I am indeed a bit older, but I can imagine that this will be the same with Tired Pony. Each album is a bit larger. So I imagine it before in the ideal case.

tele look: What the contents of this time to the dark side of USA.

Lightbody: Yes, especially at the prejudice. The things one thinks about the U.S. as a child. The time now is only the first step, certainly there are a thousand things more to say about this country. I think it is certainly fascinating, sometimes not even revolve around me.

tele look: What have you thought before about the country?

Lightbody: At 20, you want to run away from the past and create a new future. The Irish idyll of Bangor has not inspired me, as I grew up. The U.S. at that time were really important to me, at least in my head. At that time I would like to cut down there. But now I’m back in my old dump, because I would like to be with my family. When I was away, I wanted to go back.

Re: News, articles, interviews, etc...

tele look: Peter, what do you say to Gary’s question?

Buck: What I have witnessed in this country, Vietnam, Iraq is terrible, but we are speaking now of music. Much of rock and roll to jazz to hip-hop comes from the U.S.. The merging of different traditions is what America represents to me – not the new film by Miley Cyrus. There are so some merit. That thanks to the U.S. at every turn is a McDonald’s is certainly not.

tele look: You were born in California. If you get there the same sunny disposition in the cradle?

Buck: I’m not born, but then very much moved, most of the time spent in Georgia, and Seattle. The desire to be cut off is – I believe – the same everywhere. I have lived in a small town in Georgia and dreamed of New York. New Orleans was also on the list, where I was then in short times. But (laughs) …

tele look: What?

Buck: That’s what the Americans are known: cutting off, still somewhere else, discover something new. Maybe get away from the place where your parents live. As far as I can trace this in our family, the children have always run away. I also live 3000 miles away from my clan – all according to tradition. And I expect that my children – they are now doing 16 – are the same. If it would work on Mars already, they would take and that’s fine. I love my children, for clarification, but I said to you addiction no university in the neighborhood! And they said: Do not worry because once! (Smiles)

Tired Pony: The Place We Ran From
Oliver Good

Last Updated: July 27. 2010 4:09PM UAE / July 27. 2010 12:09PM GMT Rating:
Gary Lightbody, left, of Snow Patrol and Peter Buck from REM joined forces with many others to form the alt-country supergroup Tired Pony. Gus Stewart / Redferns
Fiction
Indie bands have been enthusiastically branding themselves after animals for some years now. Fleet Foxes, Foals, Frightened Rabbit and Grizzly Bear are all evidence of this, as are more than a dozen bands with “wolf” in their names – but the humble pony hasn’t got much of a look in. As well as conjuring-up images of aspirational eight-year-old girls, the word’s appropriation for cockney rhyming slang (a London patois) to signify shoddiness, offers a possible reason why.



This group’s decision to add the word “tired” – which is often used to mean hackneyed or bland – to the already questionable “pony” is a perplexing one. Perhaps the name was devised with the intention of scaring away potential listeners?

But thankfully, the alt-country supergroup Tired Pony’s debut is not as bad as all that. The project was masterminded by the Northern Irish singer and frontman of arena-hopping rockers Snow Patrol, Gary Lightbody, who was “inspired by Wilco, Calexico, Lambchop, Palace, Smog ... bands that look at the darkness in America”. The line-up also boasts Peter Buck of REM on mandolin, Belle & Sebastian’s drummer Richard Colburn and a host of others – as well as superproducer Jacknife Lee. Despite what their name might suggest, Tired Pony’s music is not shoddy or hackneyed, although it can be a little bland.



The record starts slowly with Northwestern Skies, a ghostly, banjo-driven folk ballad. With the presence of Buck and REM’s long-term collaborator Scott McCaughty, this album bears the distinctive fingerprint of the US giants; indeed, the opening track sees Lightbody sounding stunningly reminiscent of Michael Stipe during the band’s IRS years.

The second track, Get on the Road, features the Snow Patrol man duetting with the actress and occasional singer Zooey Deschanel. The duo’s voices work well together on the mournful pastoral tune, but then it gets rather similar to Lightbody’s other band, with a few unimaginative minutes of rocking out at the end.


Dead American Writers is the catchiest thing here, with touches of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their most energetic. Lightbody’s occasional Celtic touches shine through the love song That Silver Necklace but for an album that is intended to be a departure from his day job, there are times when The Place We Ran From sounds almost indistinguishable from a Snow Patrol release.

With a cast of alt-country and rock veterans, the musicianship feels thoroughly authentic and accomplished throughout and Lee’s productions lends the record both warmth and chilliness at the same time. Colburn gives a perfectly understated rhythmic performance, never stealing the limelight but never shying away from it either – as fans of the Glasgow group have come to expect by now.



The album’s loveliest moment is undoubtedly the weary Appalachian lullaby, I am a Landslide, which sees Lightbody’s countryman and previous collaborator Iain Archer singing. Not unlike Get on the Road, this song proves that emotional songwriting is at the centre of this album, but also that the group is at its most effective when collaborating closely, rather than just making-up the numbers as Lightbody’s new backing band.



Three essential Americana albums you need to own
Ryan Adams
Heartbreaker (2000)

Adams was just 27 when he recorded this remarkable solo debut, a glorious salute to his influences (Steve Earle, Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan) with guest vocals from Emmylou Harris, and a searing response to the end of a relationship, which like all great country records underlines that universal truth: love hurts.

Bonnie Prince Billy
I See A Darkness (1999)

This landmark album from Louisville’s dark balladeer Will Oldham, matches traditional Appalachian folk with a contemporary lo-fi sparseness to create a lyrical, brooding masterpiece. The title track, re-recorded by Johnny Cash on his American Recordings III album, still astonishes a decade on.

Calexico and Iron & Wine
In The Reins (2005)

A great introduction to two of the best exponents of contemporary Americana: Sam Beam’s Texan lullabies, set over Calexico’s dusty, hazy arrangements of slide guitars, brushed drums and dazzling mariachi flourishes is a modern desert classic.

Snow Patrol Interview with RTE Ten

Currently supporting U2 in Europe, Snow Patrol's Jonny Quinn talks to Harry Guerin about their next album, 'Arthur's Day' show in Dublin on 23 September and their involvement in the 'Our Thursdays' showcase for up-and-coming acts.

Harry Guerin: You're playing Moscow, Athens and Istanbul with U2, but next month you're playing 'Arthur's Day' in Dublin and you're also involved in judging the bands for the 'Our Thursdays' part of the event which will see up-and-coming acts joining the bill.

Jonny Quinn: We were asked last year to play 'Arthur's Day' but we were too busy. We like the concept of supporting up-and-coming bands and we've always picked our own bands for support. It's important that companies like them [Guinness] put on events like this. We're going to pick some bands from the hundreds of demos that have come in. The prize [for the ultimate winning band] is really good.

HG: That's gold dust now because labels are spending a lot less on bands. These days for bands it's a case of 'It doesn't matter how you do it, just get your music out there'.

JQ: This is it, yeah. They're acting, I suppose, like a record company would do in the marketing and promotion. That's a perfect prize, I think. As you say it's harder to find these deals - they're getting cut back all the time. That's why we're getting involved with Guinness. Also, they put on a couple of stages at our one-day festivals in Bangor and Glasgow so we were able to put on another four bands that wouldn't have been on the bill.

HG: Have you heard any of the bands from the competition yet?

JQ: Yeah, we have. It's been really good - really good stuff out there.

HG: And you're playing the Storehouse yourselves with one of the finalists.

JQ: That's right. I was in the Storehouse years ago and it's a great place for a gig, a great place to have in Dublin. It's a good backdrop and we all like a Guinness!

HG: It says on the 'Arthur's Day' website that there'll be some very special guests. Do you know who they are?

JQ: No, eh, we don't [laughs]. We can't say!

HG: But anyone who has tickets for it is in for a treat?

JQ: Yeah. Like last year there were people walking into the Brazen Head and Tom Jones was playing. I like the way you're putting a big international artist into a pub. I think it's a great concept and it's a lottery - you never know who you're going to get. It'll be good.

HG: What's the latest on your next album?

JQ: We're going into the studio in October. We've only got five or six songs at the moment, but by then we'll probably have about 20. We'll be recording in LA and then the album will be out sometime next year, hopefully around April of next year.

HG: Who are you recording it with?

JQ: Again with Jacknife Lee [produced last three albums] but we're maybe going to work with... There's a few people that we're going to try... Even some people out of bands and things who we're just contacting at the moment [about working with us]. We're even talking about recording out at the Joshua Tree - out in the desert and finding a little studio there. So we'll do something in a different environment and sort of a less studio feel about it - go down to New Orleans and hire a house or something and record in there. [We want to] Take it out of the studio environment, which can be a bit pressured, [and] feel that there aren't the restrictions that you have normally.

HG: In terms of songs, how are they sounding in comparison to the last two albums, 'A Hundred Millions Suns' and 'Eyes Open'?

JQ: I don't know. It's hard to say at the moment because they're all just sort of on acoustic guitars. We're always going to be writing melodic songs - we'll never be Radiohead in terms of being as leftfield as that ever. [But] We can have pop melodies and also make it sound odd. We're thinking that maybe it won't be as layered as we've done before. On 'A Hundred Million Suns' things like 'The Lightning Strike' were just tonnes and tonnes of tracks. I think this time we're thinking more stripped back. We've just been listening to things like The National, Arcade Fire and things like that, liking the way.... It's just the instruments, really - maybe not have any strings on the album or brass.

HG: I saw you at the gig you did to launch 'A Hundred Millions Suns' in the Gate and I thought 'These songs are perfect in a small place like this and they're going to be perfect in a huge place as well'. What was your experience of touring the album? Was it everything you thought it would be?

JQ: Yeah. Our venues just got bigger and bigger every time we went out. Being able to play more countries than we've played before, being able to put together a show with a big production has been great fun and having a budget where people don't go, 'No, we can't do that - too expensive'. Being able to put in a few extra lights and tricks and things like that. We still have things to do. We still want to play Wembley Stadium, so we've a few goals to get yet. We got to play Bangor, our hometown, this year to 40,000, which was incredible. And in Glasgow as well we played a one-day festival.

HG: So you reckon the album is going to be out in April, then?

JQ: Around that time. It's hard to say at this point. We'll have it done hopefully by the end of January and then [we] sort of need three months lead-up for promoting and what not. Roughly around that time.

HG: Will there be any new songs at the show in Dublin?

JQ: We played a new song, 'Big Broken', in Bangor but I don't know if we're going to play it in Dublin, so we'll just have to wait until the album comes out.

HG: It's great you can still go back to playing the smaller gigs. I think it's always good for a big band to remember to do those things.

JQ: Last time we did something like that was King Tut's Wah-Wah Hut [in Glasgow]. It was their 20th birthday or something like that. That was a superb gig for us because we'd been playing arenas and then to go back to where we'd spent years playing was great because you can't hide behind any smoke and mirrors there. It shows you up for what you are. It was great.

Tips voor de zaterdag volgens artiesten van vrijdag.
Wie kan nou beter vertellen welke artiesten je op Lowlands-zaterdag moet gaan zien dan artiesten zelf?
Band of Horses kan na lang twijfelen dan toch een keus maken. "Snow Patrol. We hebben met ze getourd en dat was een soort van religieuze beleving."

Recommendations for the saturday of artists that performed on fridat. Who better to tell you who to see on saturday than the artists themselves?
After thinking for a long time, Band of Horses can finally make a choice. "Snow Patrol. We have toured with them and it was sort of like a religious experience."
