Overview

The Seattle folk-rockers Band of Horses have just released their new album Mirage Rock, and are heading down south to play dates in Auckland and Wellington in January as a sideshow from the 2013 Australian Big Day Out.

The American Rock band formed in 2004, and have released four studio albums, the most successful of which is 2010's Grammy-nominated Infinite Arms. Their new album, Mirage Rock has had rave reviews. All the elements for a typical Band of Horses album appear in their right places - Ben Bridwell's honeyed whine, the straightforward thrust of the guitars, the earnest hippie-dippiness of the lyrics - and yet the music dissipates instantly upon impact.

The band have quite a social media following, with almost a million Likes on Facebook, over a hundred thousand followers on Twitter and a Tumblr blog they update frequently, which is worth a look here. Don't miss your chance to rock out with this great young band for the USA early next year.
