Check out the band's full set from this past May:
In other exciting Band of Horses news, on January 18th the band will release a split 7" with Cee-Lo Green in which they cover his "Georgia" and he covers their "No One's Gonna Love You."
It is available for pre-order in our online store now!
Ben Bridwell recalls the genesis of the "Georgia" single: "This began as a very random idea I had on my dad's patio after we watched our beloved Georgia Bulldog football team get robbed of a win at the hands of the referees and LSU last year. I knew I wanted to pay homage to my favorite team in song but didn't have any idea how to begin. Once I heard Cee Lo's 'Georgia,' I was immediately smitten and figured that's as good as any tribute to any state I've ever heard. It wasn't until I heard his cover of our song though that it occurred to me: Duh, we should return the favor. Incorporating the Redcoat marching band was just the icing on the cake! This song is so nostalgic to me as my parents grew up in Atlanta and have so many family members in the great state of Georgia. It's always been a second home of sorts. We've played some great shows there as well, including our run of annual New Year's Eve shows in Atlanta from 2007-2009."
Finally, check out a video of Band of Horses' performance at the Hollywood store back in 2007:

I submitted my e-mail and downloaded the mp3 but it is not a live performance at SF Amoeba as advertised. It's the studio album version.
