Hold Your Horses - Um hino à universalidade



Sim! É um regresso... após 4 anos de ausência. Poder-me-ia ter limitado à transição para o Facebook mas acredito que o formato blog ainda tem o seu espaço muito próprio. Afinal lá por fora também se diz: "Aguent'ós cavalos!". :)

Retomo este hobby com uma animada (e artística) banda Franco-Americana, da qual vale a pena ler a descrição que têm no seu Myspace:

Hold your Horses! is a seven-headed, fourteen-handed, polyphonic monster. Meshing, with the know how of proverbial idiot savants, rock and pop, wood and brass, the voices of boys with those of girls with those of foreign calls, Hold your Horses! has been exploring venues for (roughly) two years, between Paris (the Flèche d’Or, l’International, the Nouveau Casino, the Glaz’art...), the rest of France (Château-Thierry, Saint-Malo) and indeed the rest of the world (fair Verona, Brussels, Liège). In August 2010, they boarded a blue 15-seater Ford Escort designed specifically for the maximum comfort of its many members, and drove 2300 miles over pot-holed American asphalt, stopping along the way to play in New York, Boston, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, North Carolina...
Their epic live shows and the release in February 2010 of a music video, which has garnered a lot of international attention, have allowed the band to build a devoted following and to attract just the right ears. In 2011, Hold your Horses! is taking the leap and will release their first EP, recorded in Brussels and produced by Villeneuve. This anagram will be available for your ipods on May 31, and on June 3 in CD format for your ghetto blasters.
