Band of Horses

In late August 2009, Band of Horses delivered a memorable live performance of "Our Swords" at the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. At this point in their career, the band had recently released their sophomore album, 'Cease to Begin,' which came out in 2007. This album was crucial in defining their sound, blending heartfelt lyrics with rich instrumentation and received critical acclaim. Notably, the live recording captures the band's soaring harmonies and the raw emotional energy that they bring to their performances, reflecting their growing popularity. It's interesting to note that this festival appearance came shortly after they had been nominated for an award at the 2008 Grammy Awards, marking a significant recognition of their artistic efforts. It’s a snapshot of the band's vibrant presence in the indie rock scene during a pivotal moment in their journey.
