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.
i heard your song...on the fancy car ad. i thought i'd get a gold star for picking it up, reviewing your comments however, i've come to realise i'm not as special as i thought.
Ohhhhh girl! I miss you! I was listening to you while cleaning my new place today! My old lady swimsuit is going to be ready...look out! (and not in the way we ususally mean it, but in the "whoa that is a lot of white, pale skin way")
haha well im never in Brisbane but i guess i should go and see you, that's only coz i love u!!! um i think u should give me your number again because silly me may have deleted it out of my phone ;) smell u later xoxo
i'm sooooo excited! i gave my mom a list of bands that are touring that i want to see. you guys being at the fucking TOP. so for sure i'm going whenever you come to central california [if you book shows here]
anyway, hate to bug you, but is there an idea of when the best album created or that is being created is coming out? [your new album of course but i'm sure you knew that already]
wow, thank you for the comment back! you couldn't believe how excited i got when i saw a comment from AN HORSE.. ha. you guys just totally made my day!
can't wait for that US tour! and thanks again for commenting back.
Hey guys your music is awsum, its heaps original, and unique and I love to meet you, I'm still tryin to organise a concert for upcoming bands if your still interested...
Ha ha, awesome! And thanks for the reply, that's pretty sweet of you guys. :) But yeah, good luck with everything, and also to your merch. girl (Nadia)! She was pretty cool that night too! Take care and hope your recording is going/gone well! :)
I certainly hope so! Missing your Sydney gig was worse than the most debilitating paper cut I've ever recieved in my lifetime. (Yeah, pretty big deal - I know. Those things are nasty!)
You are both AMAZING! I love your sound and all the songs I have heard by you. Keep up the great work. Please come to Toronto (Canada) soon. You guys rock!
