Horses. They’re all the rage these days.
Of course, I’m not actually talking about real life horses, they’ve been around forever and most likely aren’t going anywhere soon â€" though they’re also not likely to experience a renaissance either.
They’re horses.
What I’m talking about is bands naming themselves after horses â€" in one way or another. There’s Band of Dead Horses, Horsefeathers, even Horse the band.
Horses are everywhere.
One such band â€" They Shoot Horses Don’t They? â€" most likely named after the 1969 movie of the same name â€" will play Le Voyeur in Olympia on Saturday, Sept. 1. Perfect for Olympia, They Shoot Horses Don’t They knows their way around a good beard, a good musical experiment, and (obviously) a good band name.
This is probably why K Records decided to work with them. Though this band of Horse shooters (there are eight of them) calls Vancouver, B.C. home, K released the band’s debut record Boo Hoo Hoo Boo in February ‘06, and Pick Up Sticks â€" a 10 song collection of oompa meets horns meets strange â€" in July of this year.
Both records are good stuff, unless, of course, you’re a horse.
Check out They Shoot Horses Don’t They? at Le Voyeur this Saturday. Part of the fun will be listening to the creative licks of these Canucks, and part of the fun will be just watching them all try to fit into Le Voyeur. â€" Matt Driscoll
