They Shoot Horses Don't They | Tour Dates & Fluxblog's SXSW recap

March 28, 2006

“They Shoot Horses, Don’t They – The band’s noir circus punk comes off really well live, even if they don’t look anything like how I would have expected. (The singer/guitarist guy looks a bit like deranged prostitute murderer Francis Wolcott from Deadwood dressed down in indie clothing.) ‘Lowlife’ was especially exciting for me, but the energy level was high for the entire set.” [from Fluxblog’s SXSW recap]
