Last time Band of Horses were in Louisville, they played Headliners with Cass McCombs. This time around they’ll be… playing Headliners with Cass McCombs? Wicked.

Partially that excitement is due to it being FREE (what wit dis economy an’ all…), but mostly it’s due to the overwhelming awesomeness of what music of theirs I have heard. A few [...]
