Band of Horses secret show.

The Vera Project was talking about a secret show with a secret headliner this Saturday and they said "if you like indie rock you should go" or something like that. I guess you could say I like "Indie Rock" so I was intrigued. But last Thursday they announced it was Band of Horses. BoH are notorious for their boring live shows but I thought at a really cool and small intimate space like the Vera it might be really cool, which it was.
Tyler Ramsey opened with a really nice set of folksy/rootsy acoustic songs. His fingers are long! Like, really long.
He also played with them, and it turned out it was his first show with them. Honestly I couldn't even really hear what he was doing, he just added extra guitar strumming.
But it was way better than I expected. I've never heard the Vera get sound like that, it sounded almost exactly like the cd.
I tried taking some videos but the sound ain't so hot. Not even good enough for youtube.
But I took some pictures.



I should start taking a real camera to shows instead of digital. I need a flash and a dark room though...
Here's the setlist:
Is There a Ghost
Great Salt Lake
Weed Party
Islands on the Coast
Monsters
First Song
Our Swords
(Some cover song I don't know)
Marry Song
Part One
Lamb on the Lam (In the City)
The Funeral
Ode to LRC
Wicked Gil
No One’s Gonna Love You
Unknown Song (Pretty sure it was a cover)

MP3's from the new CD:
