It happened last night, at The Scala in King’s Cross. Band Of Horses, currently embarked on an European mini tour (ATP, The Scala and Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival among their dates) while taking a break from the recording of their sophomore album, finally played in London. Frontman Ben Bridwell, visibly nervous and excited, claimed this was a dream for him, while playing the band’s debut album nearly in its entirety, conquering an audience full of previously converted fans -the amount of beards among them was the living proof-. They also previewed four as yet untitled new tracks from “The Funeral”‘s follow-up. The epic and rocking element in their music prevailed over the softer and more melancholic alt-country tones. And, judging by those new songs, they seem to have embraced more blues and southern rock elements and..yeah, man..they Rocked!!
