Becoming An Horse
Kate Cooper and Damon Cox met while working at an independent record store called Skinny's. They began making music together in 2007, and set up a PA in the store, where they would rehearse after-hours. Prior to that, Kate had played the odd solo show. "The songs were vastly different but I was using the name An Horse," recalls Kate.
Not Really Scared/Rearrange Beds
An Horse has generally received favorable reviews for their first EP, Not Really Scared, and their first LP, Rearrange Beds.
Walls
The band released their sophomore album, titled "Walls" on 26 April 2011 in North America. It was recorded in Vancouver with producer Howard Redekopp. The track "Trains and Tracks" is available for free download. The opening-song, Dressed Sharply, has been iTunes Single of the Week.
Television appearances
Their song "Postcards" was used in a TV ad for the Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class in 2008.
On 12 March 2009 An Horse made their first ever television appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman performing 'Camp Out'.
