Band of Horses is an American Rock band that formed in Seattle, WA in 2004. The band was actually first called Horses, but that was quickly changed. The group has gone through numerous changes since its incarnation, most notably Mat Brooke (guitar/vocals) leaving the band in early 2006. The current lineup is Ben Bridwell (vocals/guitar), Creighton Barrett (drums), Ryan Monroe (keys), Tyler Ramsey (guitar/vocals), and Bill Reynolds (bass). In early 2007, Ben relocated the band to his native home of South Carolina stating all of the touring made it seem that there was no real "home." The current lineup all had parts in the production of Band of Horses 3rd album Infinite Arms. This video is "Ode to LRC" off the second album Cease to Begin.
I am a real big fan of this band and recommend listening to all 3 albums. They are each a bit different, and I feel the 3rd album lost its raw edge and sounded a bit overproduced. I have also seen this band live and it's always a great show..great job soundboard! Band of Horses was slated as the opener for the Widespread Panic Spring 2010 tour, but jumped at the chance to open for Pearl Jam instead. Definitely catch this band live if they are ever traveling through your neighborhood.
