They Shoot Horses Don't They - Boo Hoo Hoo Boo

This is the debut from an eight-piece Vancouver band whose startling, energetic live shows have won them listeners and dancers throughout Canada where they've shared the stage with the Unicorns and Xiu Xiu. Thanks to their horn section, they have a distinctive noisy oompa sound. They've been compared to the Danielson Family, Captain Beefheart, and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. Lyrical themes of desperation, betrayal, and hardship are brought to interesting light in this overly joyful, jittery music. Kill Rock Stars. 2006.
