The Reindeer Section are a Scottish Indie Rock Supergroup formed in 2001 by Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol , which released albums and gigged in 2001 and 2002 . The Reindeer Section grouping was somewhat ad hoc, and so it is uncertain if more will be heard from them. However in a recent interview with the Times Online, Gary Lightbody declared his interest in recording another album once work finishes on the next Snow Patrol album at the end of 2007.


HISTORY


Formation and ''Y'All Get Scared Now, Ya Hear!'': 2001

The Reindeer Section arose - according to Lightbody - out of a chance get-together of musicians at a Lou Barlow gig in Glasgow in 2001, at which Lightbody drunkenly laid down the challenge to others to "make an album together", to which everyone said "yeah yeah". Lightbody "went home and next day wrote the album" and later convinced Johnny Davies of Bright Star to fund a recording session and release the proposed album. The group met over three days of rehearsal and ten days of recording to produce the first album. '' Y'All Get Scared Now, Ya Hear! '' was released on 20 October 2001 with a mini tour, the first venue of which was Belfast 's The Limelight.


''Son of Evil Reindeer'' and hiatus: 2002

'' Son Of Evil Reindeer '' was released ten months after the critical acclaim of the first, with a slightly different line-up. The single, "You Are My Joy" appeared on US show, '' Grey's Anatomy '', and on fourth season of US TV series '' Queer As Folk ''. The song "Cartwheels" appeared on " The Second Chance ", an episode of '' The O.C. ''. The band's most recent gig was on 14 December 2002 at the Queen Margaret Union in Glasgow .
