HorseFace

About Me

HorseFace is an Alternative Metal Band from The Finger Lakes, New York region. HorseFace began in late 2006. The band consists of vocalist and bass guitar player Jesse Halstead, guitar player John Halstead, and drummer Jack Halstead. Jack Halstead had been in several Rochester based bands in the past, such as White Noise, Android, Sacred Star, and Axis. When the brothers were having trouble finding a proficient drummer, their father Jack, who had taken a 20 year hiatus from the drums, elected to join the band. Since then, the trio has been an active act in the Canandaigua and Rochester areas. Having played in venues all across New York State and in popular Rochester venues such as the Penny Arcade, The Montage Music Hall, and The California Brewhaus, HorseFace is beginning to make a name for themselves in the Fingerlakes area. HorseFace uses industry standard names such as Fender, Gibson, Ddrum and Marshall to fortify their professional reputation. Sporting twelve originals, and a full length album to be released in October, the novelty family band also have many popular cover songs in their catalogue, including, but my no means limited to "Brain Stew" by Green Day, "Killing In The Name" by Rage Against The Machine, "Breed" by Nirvana, and an impressive medely comprised of the four Black Sabbath songs "Black Sabbath" "War Pigs" "N.I.B." and "Paranoid."
