An Horse at the Horseshoe. An Horse at the Horseshoe. An Horse at the Horseshoe. I’ll let you ponder that a little longer.
Brisbane’s An Horse, comprised of Kate Cooper of Iron On and Damon Cox of Intercooler, kicks out Tegan & Sara-like jams with a little more rock & roll and a little less whining. Not surprising then that they opened to for the Canuck twins on their last Australian tour. They’ve also opened for Death Cab For Cutie.
An Horse has begun to beat the hard American trail after the release of their debut album Rearrange Beds back in March. Touring with The Appleseed Cast, An Horse made the only Canadian stop on their U.S. tour (I’m not sure if that makes sense, but I’m sticking with it) in Toronto this past Tuesday. Playing all 10 tracks from Rearrange and one cover that I didn’t recognize (allegedly only played in countries of the Commonwealth), the pair were on the ball.
I didn’t bother sticking around for Lawrence, Kansas’ own Indie Rock/Emo/Post Rock/Experimental band, The Appleseed Cast. I did however have quite a nice little conversation with Kate at the merch during the beginning of their set.
In conclusion, you should buy Rearrange Beds, watch their performance on Letterman and go see them when they come to your town. The Schedule is here: http://www.anhorse.com/tours/
