Band of Horses kicks off tour, performs with Sufjan :: Music News :: Articles

In November, we brought you a brilliantly titled news story that reported on Band of Horses’ then-upcoming tour, and in December, we gave you a generically titled story about a particularly notable date in Louisville. Well, the future is now, the tour is underway, and there are some more dates to add. The band will be playing with Cass McCombs until Feb. 12, and on the following day, it will perform at the Tibet House Benefit in New York with Sufjan Stevens and Philip Glass, amongst others.

After its inevitably meditative performance at Carnegie Hall, the band will head to Europe for a month, before returning for a couple more dates in Florida. Wherever you see Band of Horses perform, be sure to congratulate the boys on their Top 10 placement in Paste’s 100 Best Albums of 2007.
