Horse the Band Need Your Help Booking Tour

Posted by: Jason Tate (01/21/08)
Horse The Band are booking their own 40 country tour and they need your help.
Press ReleaseThree years ago we booked a three-month, eight country tour with no booking agency, manager, or CD in stores. It was the funnest tour we have ever done. 3 years and 11 professional package tours later, we've become disillusioned, bad-attitude nerds and pariahs of the established music industry. FUCK IT.

We are currently planning a 40-country tour of Earth. We are booking the tour by ourselves, and going by ourselves because everyone is scared of us and no one will let us play their tours because we are too wild and crazy. In addition, no booking agencies will book shows for us on foreign soil because we have no "tour history on the books" or "soundscans" or "albums in stores". It is time to once again take matters into our own hands, go off the beaten track, and show the music industry that they don't matter anymore because of the INTERNET. We hope to be an inspiration to all young bands with honest dreams and the willingness to say "FUCK IT" to the shitty, boring, timid, sterile conventions that have slimed their way into our scene with the recent commercialization and homogenization of underground music. We will be producing a TV show/movie about recklessly circling the globe playing volatile shows, eating weird new foods, meeting new races and species, seeing the marvels of nature and man, narrowly escaping tragedy (or not escaping it), all while teetering on the brink of alcoholism and mental illness and sharing the language of music that unites us all!

We are starting in early March. The following is a rough list of where we want to play. If your country isn't on the list, but you want us to play there, we want to know. Cause we will come one day! FUCK IT.

Los Angeles, USA
Honolulu, USA
Sydney, AUSTRALIA
Melbourne, AUSTRALIA

We need all the help we can get, but we know we can do it using the power of the INTERNET, MUSIC, and SELF-RELIANCE!"

That's amazing. I love this band already, and I've never even listened to them before.

P.S. No Canada?

They've already got a fuckload of cities planned, apparently. They posted this at least a month and a half ago and it's fucking rad to see that it's coming through.
