Okay, so I could be typing here about moving into my new apartment, starting classes, all the wild and crazy stuff I’ve been up to. But that’s for another day. We’ve got something to discuss. This is really important.

Horse the Band is best explained by shouting nonsense at the top of your lungs while flailing your arms and gyrating your hips. It’s the musical equivalent of having a cannon fired in your face. Nintendo-Influenced hardcore is the name of the game. No, I’m not kidding. Their synth-heavy music relies on the same effects engines that powered the 8-bit NES that we all had about 20 years ago. So fuse that together with what (in my opinion) is pretty talented and somewhat technical heavy guitar and drum work. In other words, I love it.

Well, as you can probably imagine, Horse is pretty wild. During their last tour, they left early, initially not giving a reason why. Later, the band posted this on their website:

Scum. We left that tour because we ate really, really, really good pizza in Lou Malnati’s in Chicago with Dave’s grandparents. The pizza was such that we were inspired by God to write music of the kind not heard in this world since Mozart was fed his first currywurst. A copy of Nietzsche’s “The Gay Science” was onhand and for 2 days we struggled with the question posed in “the Greatest Weight” passage, which follows. In essence, it asks the reader to examine their every action if they had to repeat their lives exactly for all eternity, begging “the question in each and every thing, “Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?”

We couldn’t decide if we should stay in Chicago and keep eating pizza for the rest of our lives. But after two days of rigorous theory, we realized we had to write divine music about the pizza. We decided to drive home immediately and write and record a 5-song EP called “Pizza” before Sounds of the Underground and Warped Tour started. God was there.

So yes, HORSE left the tour, for pizza no less. I thought this was a total joke. But then I saw Pizza’s pre-order on Amazon, and I was totally floored. Then the videos started coming up on YouTube. Horse demanded Pizza on stage, and played some of the songs from the new EP. You can even hear AntiPizza (a song about pizza made from antimatter, I can’t make this stuff up) on the groups MySpace (don’t forget to stop the video that starts halfway down the page).

I’m waiting patiently for the disc to come. It should hopefully be here by Thursday. When it arrives, I’m holding an EXCLUSIVE event in my car. We’re going to get pizza and eat it and drive around to Horse The Band. It’s going to be a night as wild as Horse themselves. Pizza Party. Yes!!

Space is limited, I might only have room for 1 or 2 more people, unless the response to this is big enough to obtain more transportation and have a pizza caravan. I don’t know. It’s just wild.

Maybe later I’ll post about other stuff. But this had to be said. I’m just that pumped.
