Night Horse have announced a string of tour dates in support of the release of three split seven inch singles being released this summer. The band has also been confirmed for the main stage at The Sunset Junction Festival in Los Angeles on August 23rd.

“If Sonic Youth had been immersed in an ocean of Allman Brothers inspiration, or Soundgarden had been steeped in late 60s Fleetwood Mac, then they might have turned out something like this. Night Horse take traditional blues-rock, spark it up with riotously noisy flashes and drag the rhythms through an early-90s grunge experience. Moreover, they’re cohesive, charismatic and compelling.” – Malcolm Dome, Classic Rock Magazine

“Definitely full-blown denim-wearing ’70s-loving freaks who get groovy and fuzzed out in the spirit of Humble Pie and (old) Alice Cooper, Night Horse sometimes gallop right into the ’80s with a certain grunge ferocity…” – Decibel Magazine

Tradition lies deep in the music of Los Angeles rock and roll group NIGHT HORSE, which features members of dirge soundscapists Ancestors and the vocal styling of Sam James Velde, formerly of explorative and adventurous rockers Bluebird. NIGHT HORSE bring a saddle bag full of heavy, raw and riffed-out blues-tinged rock steeped in the likes of John Lee Hooker, Taste, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac and The Allman Brothers Band without a retro stitch. NIGHT HORSE rein in the past with a firm heel in the present, galloping next to such like-minded contemporaries as Harvey Milk, Down and Priestess. Delivering heavy testimonials harnessed with a twin lead guitar assault, NIGHT HORSE join hands with these brothers in arms.
