Band of Horses

Seattle’s Band of Horses (formerly called just Horses, and prior to that, Carissas Weird) headlines a show at the Tralf Music Hall on Sunday (Aug. 12) with tour mates Love as Laughter. Both bands are West Coast indie mainstays and Sub Pop recording artists, with links to stars of the label like Iron and Wine and Built to Spill. Band of Horses’ sophomore album Cease to Begin is due out on in October, following 2006’s acclaimed Everything All the Time. Love As Laughter is still riding the wave of 2005’s opus Laughter’s Fifth and working on a new record scheduled for release in 2008. An eight-song CD featuring the catchy single “Coconut Flakes” is available on the Love As Laughter website. Saturday’s show starts at 8pm with an opening performance by Brian Wheat and Groggy Darlin’.
