We live to get radical

About Me

An Horse used to be about procrastination. An Horse was Kate Cooper’s way of not doing things that she was meant to be doing. Like studying or assignments. But Kate finished university. She got a couple of degrees, then started law school but soon decided that perhaps these law folk weren’t her people. So she started playing more music and doing crosswords on a semi-competitive basis. Her friend Damon Cox was already playing music but he wasn’t that into crosswords (he is more a sudoku man). He got her a job in the record store he worked at. They were both pretty good at looking busy at work and watching physical cd sales dwindle. Collectively they decided this was the industry for them! So one day they closed the store (maybe a little early) and made music.
They did get busted for closing the record store early. They don’t work there anymore but they still play music together. Late last year they recorded their debut EP Not Really Scared with famed producer Magoo. It's available now.
