Band of Horses prep for international tour

Band of Horses is kicking off a tour in their home state (hint: it's South Carolina) this summer, and then heading off into the sunset. The tour, promoting their latest, Cease to Begin, covers four different continents in about three months, with nary a day to rest in between gigs. They'll be hitting the bigger European summer festivals, and the small ones, too, and stopping by Austin City Limits this September.

If you don't get to see them live, or even if you do, be sure to check out their website over the next few months. The band members put up some pretty fantastic photos from their time on the road.
