Band of Horses

Last night I went to the sold out Band of Horses concert at the Neighborhood Theater and it was so great! Prior to last night I was more in the mediocre fan range for BoH, but after seeing them live I have a much greater appreciation (as often happens to me after concerts). Part of that appreciation may have something to do with the fact that I thought the lead singer was pretty easy on the eyes. They all had a western look going, but the lead singer was sporting an excellent beard as well. Alas, the bearded nice looking lead singer is married.

The bass guitarist who is usually more my type in these settings was way too out there even for me. He was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with fringe across the front and down the side of his sleeves. It also laced up on the front at the top. And he had a striking resemblance to Napoleon Dynamite's brother Kip. I tried to take pictures on my iphone but they didn't turn out as great as I would have liked. Here's two where you can kind of see the fringe (and also the nice looking lead singer):

Since you can't really see the lead singer, here's a pic from google...I admit there's a chance the fact that he is a lead singer in a band I like may have something to do with the attractiveness.

And since you can't really see Kip's face, here's a side by side comparison:
I know, not the best picture of bass playing Kip but it was the best I could come up with on google search. I'm sure you see the resemblance.

I promise I didn't just like the concert because of attractive or look-alike band members, it was a great show and I'm excited for their new album. If you are new to Band of Horses and want to check them out some of my favorite songs are The Great Salt Lake (which they opened with - love it), Funeral, No One's Gonna Love You, and Our Swords (couldn't find a good video, sorry). They have a My Morning Jacket sound, but maybe not quite as "jam band-ish" in my opinion. Hope you enjoy!
