Our Fave Stablemates Run Metro
Band of Horses (heretofore simply Horses) was playing a “sold out” show at Metro last night, and we had no tickets? Please. We know people. Sometimes they don’t call us back (WTF?!), but we know people. And this time… they came through with last-minute tix. “You never know who you’ll run into.” Ta!
Their one-month-old release, Cease to Begin (7.7/10 by Pitchfork), was “sparkling” to hear in person. And with how hot and humid Metro was, it almost felt like actually being in BoH’s transplanted-native South Carolina, catching “Garish Fever”… slow-moving ceiling fans and everything. Memo to BoH: we’ll forgive y’all for touring “on the road with Zune®” this one time. (They still sell those relics?)
“When you smile, the sun, it peeks through the clouds…”

A super-happy-fun-time, “nest”-tastic extra ensues…
