Happy spring! Bringing another High Horse playlist to the people.
I hope you enjoy!
Note from Hank:
We have some surprises in the works, and like Elon, sometimes our time tables aren’t accurate to say the least… New work from some of our favorite artists and writers are in the can. There will hopefully be a print version of some of our favorites by the end of the year. Thanks for the support. We are also now on Substack and you are more than welcome to support us through the “Make a Sacrifice” page. We are happy to have you all on board. Thanks!- Hank
Oldstar is a Florida country rock band that we dig. They just finished a short run of shows, but have one upcoming show in the books in Brooklyn, for those who can make it.
The Magon song has been on repeat. He has a new album out, but no tour dates [disappointed sigh]
Johnny & the Dinosaurs are planning live performances with the band in 2025, according to their Instagram, however specific tour dates haven’t been announced. Catch this Amsterdam-based stripped-down cowboy indie-rock band when you can!
Casper Allen is on tour! Casper Allen is always on tour! Check him out with his new band “The Naturals” (we are particularly found of the bass player in that band). The surf-rock feel of their new single is unexpected and completely spot-on–we can’t stop listening to this one.
Gringo Star is a rad psch rock band comin’ in hot outta Atlanta. “Hot-lanta,” get it? [ahem]. Touring in May and June.
Tobacco City has a new album and we like this band, as we have been shouting from the rooftops here and here. They have a June tour comin’ up in the US
Deradoorian has a new album dropping in 11 days, but she has has a couple of singles out in advance of that release. Formerly from the Dirty Projectors, her solo stuff rips. Album release party planned May 10 in LA, so we’re crossing our fingers for more tour dates comin’ up.
BRONCHO has a new album out and a big tour planned to support it. We would love to see these guys–the Tulsa-based band has a wandering, ethereal vibe that is part REM, part Stereolab, but lands in a place that’s all their own.
New groovy funk album from LA-based Bombillas.Check it out!
LA LOM has some new tunes out, with the same 50s-60s vibes we came to hear! They’ve got a big tour coming up, partially supporting Leon Bridges, but also including some solo shows that venture to the other side of the pond.
Karen O. of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame has a new single out, which excites everyone. No tour planned, but…can we have one, please?
Destroyer has a new album out and an ambitious Euro –> US –> Euro tour, including stops at Primavera Sound festivals in Barcelona and Porto
I’m not totally sure why Hank threw this Future song on at the end of the playlist, but he’s the boss, so…
