Hard-working Archer is flying out to Austin, Texas for the South By Southwest music festival in between his Scorttish and Irish gig dates.

Archer’s forthcoming single “Minus Ten,” is also about to be a big hit, it’s the soundtrack to sportsbrand Adidas’ new TV advertising campaign. “Minus Ten” is also due to air in the new series of US hospital “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Archer’s looming commercial success will ironically be in the same vein as former bandmates, Snow Patrol. They became a worldwide success after single “Chasing Cars” was featured in hit American drama “The O.C.”
