We messed around and missed out on Band of Horses’ acoustic-tour show at the Wilshire Ebell on Tuesday (reliable reports are roundly praising), and are still licking our wounds.  Thankfully a missive came (thanks Erik!) helping to heal that wound.  Add to that some newly-unearthed footage of the band, and we are doing our best to live vicariously.

Watch below Band of Horses  performing all-acoustic at The Masonic Lodge at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (when did VEVO get so incredibly annoying?), followed by the band (well, Ben Bridwell and Tyler Ramsey) making magique in a couple of (older, but still acoustic) in-stores at Nudie Jeans.  The performances confirm what we witnessed at the Troubadour a while back–while they can rock with the best, Band of Horses’ acoustic moments are amongst the richest moments in music.  Check ’em out.  The band is currently out on tour in support of their fantastic new all-acoustic album, Live at the Ryman.  The all-acoustic North American tour continues on Valentines Day in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts, and you can check out all the dates and get tickets HERE.
