Band of Horses

We've been loving Seattle's Band of Horses since coming across them at All Tomorrow's Parties Festival a couple of years ago. Their look is "country-rock" bearded with a touch of "Deliverance" and their first two albums "Everything All The Time" and "Cease to Begin" have become favourites on our studio sound system. We were really looking forward to"Infinite Arms" their third album when it came out last year and whilst it felt a bit too slick for us on first listen, it's really grown.
They've just put out  one of the album's best tracks as a single with a fab video which is a sort of 70's biker homage with a really cool twist. They're touring the UK from the end of January:
26th January / Newcastle Academy 
27th January / Glasgow Academy 
28th January / Birmingham Academy 1 
30th January / Bristol Academy (sold out) 
31st January / Leeds Academy 1 
1st February / Manchester Academy 1 
3rd February / London Brixton Academy 
4th February / Bexhill De La Warr Pavilion
We're thinking that the deco splendour of the Bexhill Pavillion might be a good option if juxtaposition is your thing. Click here to see the video:  Band of Horses

  1. Definitely feeling their vibe too! Infinite arms really grew on us too, especially when we were living for 4 months in Portugal.
