Band of Horses

[1waveydavey]

I see Band of Horses are playing European dates (incl Roundhouse) in June - Saw them at Shepherds Bush at couple of years ago and they were tremendous, would be a great addition to the main stage, a kind of Fleet Foxes sort of time on Saturday I reckon...

[Langdale Wolf]

Ooooh good spot. This would be HUGE for me if they played. I missed them last time they played (did they play last year?), and my mate who went recommended them to me. I now own both albums and ADORE them both.

I'd be ecstatic if they played.

The Funeral is a beautiful song.

[Mr Ploppy]

if Band Of Horses play then I will go crazy with excitment. I got a bad feeling they wont somehow but REALLY want them to - they are simply brilliant.

Didn't play in the UK last year as far as I know, I saw them the year before - they really were quite brilliant.

One of those annoying 'do I get tickets for the roundhouse' situations.

[russycarps]

I've seen them a couple of times now, and am seeing them in April, and they have been terrific both times.

I didnt get to see them in 2008(?) as they must have clashed with someone else but they would be a fine addition to the line up.

They are many times superior to Fleet Foxes.

The same guy who recommended BoH to me also recommended Fleet Foxes to me at the same time.

I like FF a lot (especially Meadowlark) but they're not a patch on BoH. I find the vocals in BoH (sorry, no idea on names of the band members or anything) really beautifully haunting, but a bit too warbly in FF.

Personally, I'd love to see BoH headline the Park Stage on the Saturday night, with I Am Kloot, Tunng or Show of Hands underneath them. Or any combination of the above.

I know nothing about this lot, where's a good place to start?

I doubt they'd have a Fleet Foxes esque slot since when they played in 2008 on the JP stage barely anyone came to see them

[Langdale Wolf]

I liked fleet foxes a lot at first, but I quickly tired of the album and I doubt very much I will ever play it again. Both the BoH albums I never tire of listening to. Though I do think the first better than the second (as is usually the case). My favourite song is possibly "I go to the barn..."

I fully concur with your Park Stage play order, but can we PLEASE squeeze the walkmen in there too??

[Wooderson]

I saw them last summer at Outside Lands. Very good and well worth a look.

I've seen them a few times, last time was at Rock Werchter in '08. Absolutely magnificent everytime. Along with Arcade Fire they're the band that has excited me most over the last 5 years. Live they are just amazing, Ben's voice is sublime. I dragged a bunch of mates who had never heard any of their songs to see them at RW, and they were just blown away. Phenomenal band...

...and my own favourite

Grrrr.... must rush home and watch this clips!!!!!

I hate the work firewall not allowing youtube clips.

[Mr.Tease]

I'd love to see them too- I still to this day have no idea how I managed to be unawares that they were playing in 2008! It was only after I got back and was watching some of the footage that I realised my foolish oversight.

What is it with these smaller US bands not playing in Manchester anymore? I'm already having to commute to london town to see the National, and then again to see Pavement, so i can't really afford to see Band of Horses too. Oh well, fingers crossed!
