Band of Horses made an impressive first impression in 2007 with their second album āCease To Beginā (Sub Pop). Especially the single āIs There A Ghostā played a very important role in that. Follow-up album āInfinite Armsā was released upon the world in May this year, this time via larger label Columbia records. Again an album that smacks of desolate highways and manages to convert the lonely life on the edge of American society into breathlessly beautiful music. āInfinite Armsā was also finally their well-earned breakthrough to a Belgian audience. Their concert in the Botanique was sold out in no time and at Pukkelpop too they converted many dubious folks into super-fans. Time to meet the challenge of the AB's Main Stage and that will take place on Thursday 24 February.
Support-act will be Australian Mike Noga with his band The Gents. Mike Noga is noted in our address book under D for The Drones, the band in which he is active as drummer. The Drones operate on the best of Neil Young, Green On Red, The Birthday Party and Bob Dylan and those influences are of course also applicable in his solo-project with The Gents.
