BEADY EYE COVER 'BLUE MOON' TO LAUNCH NEW MAN CITY KIT

2011-07-15 09:00:00

Beady Eye have covered the Elvis classic 'Blue Moon' to help launch the new Manchester City football kit made by Umbro.

The new kit features a soundwave graphic across the front which was taken from a 19 second recording of the club's fans singing 'Blue Moon'.

Liam said, "I've been a City fan since I was a kid so to be involved with the launch of a new kit is colossal. Manchester City fans are known for having a lot of style and the new shirt looks mega. I love the soundwave idea and the Mod-inspired collar looks proper smart.

'Blue Moon is a top tune and has been City's song for as long as I can remember. It's been covered by loads of people but the only good one until now was the one Elvis did. I hope the fans buzz off our version and sing along to it at the stadium.'

To celebrate the launch Beady Eye have joined up with director Charlie Lightening to record a video for their version of 'Blue Moon' which segues into their new single 'The Beat Goes On'. You can view the video here at the band's website or at the Umbro YouTube channel HERE!

Beady Eye's new single 'The Beat Goes On' is out on Monday and will be available to buy from their official store HERE! and iTunes.

Amazing cover! Liam sounds incredible singing Blue Moon. It was meant to be! Andy Bell and the Astronaut helmet was hilarious, especially when he was doing the backing vocals with the helmet on. I didn't realize till now how close Blue Moon and Earth Angel are but when Gem starts playing I keep think of it.

This is easily the best version of BLUE MOON I've heard, and yes I've always liked the Elvis version too. If Beady eye can make such a transformation, hopefully their second album will be the CLASSIC everyone was expecting. Loved the 1st album and gigs but something was missing. This proves they definatately have it ! Last time I went to CITY was when the KIPPAX came down. This is a reminder of how good the KIPPAX days were! "BLUE MOON"
