Bumbershoot: Three-Sentence Review of Band of Horses

• That's an interesting take. I'll give you a take from someone who had only heard a few of their tunes on youtube before going to the mainstage to see them. Their music is generic. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. After straining for 20 minutes to find something, anything, about their music that would deserve praise I concluded there was nothing. Strumming power chords and blase lyrics. That's Band of Horses. Of course the performance was consistent. It consistently sucked horse cock. And the lead singer felt the need to continually remind us of what a completely hack jackass he is with cliche rockstar phrasing between numbers followed by his incessant Ric Flair 'Wooo.' 'So I hear Seattle likes to party?! Wooooooo' After revealing to each other that we all found this performance to be the utter piece of shit that it was, my friends and I all left (thankfully) before this charade ended. We ended up catching what was to be a much needed refreshing act to wash away those vitriolic memories: Saul Williams.
