HORSE The Band

It has been over a week since I have seen HORSE The Band on their SA tour and I have been uber slack in posting the pics I took on the nights. So I have finally come around to posting them. 


Anyways. HORSE The Band are easily the most incredible live act I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. Over the years I have seen amazing international acts, each one outdoing the next. UnderOath, Haste The Day, From Autumn to Ashes, Metallica... you get the point. I was overjoyed when I heard Horse were touring as I thought I was the only lady to actually love them. I went alone to the Pretoria gig on the Thursday night (okay I met a colleague there). Facing The Gallows, Sesling and Straatligkinders played in support. I heart Facing The Gallows and Straatligkinders.

I then made my second solo mission on the Friday night to see them again. I had no intention of going, but owing to their awesomeness, a second round was needed. I knew a lot of people going so I knew I would not be completely A-lone. Plus I got a message from Niel telling me he was going, what a relief. I do not like going places alone you may have gathered. Anyways, back to the point, the band, HORSE that is. Facing The Gallows and Sesling supported again, with The Dead Will Tell and Their Death Becomes Her also playing in support that night. I had a fun fun night. Socialising, singing and being happy!

Lyric of the Day

In honour of my seeing HorseTheBand this week (twice or even three times). I have thus selected lyrics from one of their songs. The tour has been dubbed the "Earth Tour" as they intend to visit every continent on earth, quite the undertaking. They have named the South African leg of the tour "Reigns in Africa", I think the name is hilarious. I am so excited to see them as I truly felt like I was the only one who liked them and their awesome "Nintendocore". I am so so excited to see them on Thursday night as I have heard such wonderful things about their shows so far. Yayness!!

make me want to scream
there's no bears or wild things
the future's not what it seems..."

And check out this awesome article by Mail and Guardian regarding their tour... See ya there!
