Horses

Indie Soul Like You Like It

About Me

Horses is best described as a vibrant soul rock orchestra. Born out of the ashes of Dallas/Fort Worths favorite songwriters, Soviet Space, and using their unique blend of individual talents, Horses craft a moody mix of songs that draw from such penned influences as Wilco and Ryan Adams. Yet, their musical blend is rooted deep in the musical sound of legendary idols like Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan. Founded in early 2003 by, then drummer, Jordan Richardson (of award winning punk/pop outfit Soviet Space 2001s SXSW sleeper pick), Horses quickly established themselves, with the release of their debut EP (which was nominated as a critics pick in The Village Voice), as one of the Dallas Areas premier live music acts, sharing the stage with the likes of Los Lonely Boys, Fastball, The Soul of John Black and Sorta, all in under one short year.In a just world, (Horses) would be blasting out of radios everywhere! -- Ken Shimamoto, FW WEEKLYUpdate 7/2008...Some form of Horses is in the works, one day when we have time.
