So this past weekend I ventured down to Des Moines with a few mates and wenches to catch Band of Horses in the Val Air Ballroom. We got there right as doors opened and managed to get right up front, literally within reach of Ben Bridwell. Naturally, we waited around as 2 opening bands played around for an hour or so before they took stage. They played all the classics, such as No One's Gonna Love You, The Funeral, Weed Party, and The Great Salt Lakes, as well as some never before played songs. The overall attitude, humility, and band-audience feedback that you just don't get with some of the bigger shows made the evening quite enjoyable, definitely try to catch them if they come your way.
