Band of Horses

In 2009, Band of Horses was riding high on the success of "Cease to Begin," their sophomore album that had dropped just a year earlier. This period marked a significant time for the band as they were gaining visibility and acclaim, particularly for tracks like "The Funeral," which perfectly encapsulates their sweeping sound and emotional resonance. Performing live at Lollapalooza on August 9, 2009, they showcased the raw energy and depth that fans had come to love. It’s worth noting that this performance helped catapult their popularity even further, leading to extensive touring and solidifying their place in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, "The Funeral" became a defining anthem for the band—a song that has been featured in various films and shows—making this live rendition a significant milestone in their evolving journey.
