This is your chance to witness songs from their impending album ‘Infinite Arms’ come to life, including radio favourites such as ‘Laredo’ and the guitar romping ‘Compliments’. Last time they were in New Zealand in 2008 their one show at the Kings Arms was a sell-out.
Band of Horses is Ben Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Ryan Monroe, Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds. Though the band formed in Seattle, the gents hail from the southeastern United States, specifically the Carolinas. ‘Infinite Arms’ is the follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘Everything All The Time’ (2006) and ‘Cease to Begin’ (2007), and marks the recording debut of Ramsey and Reynolds, both long time touring members of the group. The band have become a cohesive force with all members making invaluable contributions to the unmistakable sound that Bridwell has crafted since the band’s inception. As Bridwell himself concedes, “in many ways, this is the first Band of Horses record.”
Through extensive touring of their energetic and engaging live show, the band has built a solid fan base which transcends generations.
* “Ben Bridwell’s voice shines as a true melodic force, in a genre populated with talented contenders”* MAG
“Their show offers a band upping their game, playing with gusto and conviction, delivering their songs with perfect clarity.” The Guardian
Band Of Horses’ new album Infinite Arms is out May 14th through Sony Everything All The Time and Cease To Begin are out now through Sub Pop
