Date of show: October 1, 2010
We didn’t catch all of the other acts, but we had heard such good things about A Horse And His Boy, so we made it a point to catch their set. With comparisons to Bauhaus being thrown around, I was definitely curious.
On this night at Sneaky Dee’s, I was definitely taken by surprise. This is experimental post-punk art rock at its finest. The contrast between the bold and unique vocals of Aaron Solomon (samples, Juno 6) and the more melodic backing vocals of Nathan Noble (synth) is really quite striking. Also contributing to the art rock sound are Sam Allen (bass), Tyler Heffernan (guitar) and Jeremy Ive (drums). Ive brings power and drive to their music, while Noble’s synths bring a dream-like sound, and Allen and Heffernan bring a certain balance. All that juxtaposed with passionate vocals and some sample-heavy tunes make for an energetic and noisy set. A Horse And His Boy are worth checking out.
