Band of the Week: They Shoot Horses Don’t They

They Shoot Horses Don’t They were an 8 piece band from Vancouver, BC Canada. They released two albums on KRS in mid 2000s. Their startling energetic live shows won listeners and even dancers throughout Canada where they have shared the stage with bands like The Unicorns and Xiu Xiu. They had a distinctive noisy oompa sound thanks to a horn section. The band has been compared to the likes of The Danielson Family, Captain Beefheart and Thinking Fellers Local 242. Lyrical themes of desperation, betrayal and hardship are brought to interesting light in this overly joyful jittery music.
