Pulled Apart By Horses | en

Band created by comedy duo Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley (Mark & Lard) of BBC Radio fame. Well known for being the most unlucky and ripped-off band in the whole world. During their short musical career, they created true gems but never hit the mainstream. This changed when big name bands (Oasis, Coldplay, Supergrass etc) unashamedly rerecorded some of their songs and changed the lyrics to suit the larger audiences. At least that's what they say. Their two albums (so far) are true comedy moments : their instruments are put through such torture that you have to wince sometimes. The...

The Bridgewater, NJ-based hardcore band Shades Apart formed in 1988, comprising singer/guitarist Mark V., bassist Kevin Lynch and drummer Ed Brown. After releasing their self-titled debut later that year on the Wishingwell label, the trio fell silent before resurfacing in 1992 with the Sunspot EP Dude Danger; another label change, this time to Skene, followed for the 1993 EP Neon.

Frontman Michael Hobby (23) and lead guitarist Bill Satcher (22), the co-founders and creative conspirators of A Thousand Horses, have been crafting rock music infused with traditional American flavors of the southeastern US for over half a decade. A Thousand Horses blends blues, R and B, and good old slashing guitars, bass & drums in an elixir that comes out tasting of Small Faces and “Exile”-era Rolling Stones. The two became good friends after meeting in a local music store back in 2003 in their hometown of Newberry, SC. With a mutual admiration for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and...

All the Pretty Horses is a dark glam/metal band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and fronted by transgender lead singer Venus de Mars. The band has seen a varying lineup over its long history, perhaps most notably with fellow transgender bandmates Tempest and Jendeen. The band briefly disbanded in 2006 so that each member could follow separate musical career paths. Venus De Mars pursued a solo career, releasing one album, Trashed and Broken Hearted. After a short stint with House of Flowers, Venus resumed performing with All The Pretty Horses, reuniting with former drummer Matt Bachelor. Tempest, along with bandmate Jendeen...
