Following a month-long rest in January, Snow Patrol go international with much-anticipated shows in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand before returning to N. America for what will be a monster tour. "Eyes
Open" has passed the 1million sales mark in the States where the majority of these sold-out shows have been up-sized to accommodate their growing army of fans, cementing Snow Patrol's status as one of only a handful of UK bands to break America
in recent years. Their modern-classic "Chasing Cars" is up against Bob Dylan and Neil Young in the Best Rock Song category at this year's Grammys.
Internationally "Eyes Open" continues to find Snow Patrol ever-more fans as it breaks the Top 10 in Germany and racks up platinum status in Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Belgium and 3 x platinum in Australia. Back in the UK, the No.1
downloaded album of 2006 has also been voted iTunes Best Alternative Album of the year.
The "Open Your Eyes" video, "C'était un Rendezvous" is a cult-classic short film made in Paris in 1976 by French filmmaker Claude Lelouch. This is the first time in it's 30 year history that Lelouch has granted permission
to use the footage, though many have tried to acquire the rights to use this beautiful, hair-raising piece of film.
