During the summer of 2009, Band of Horses was riding high with the success of their second studio album, "Cease to Begin," which had been released in late 2007. This album showcased their unique blend of indie rock with touches of folk, and songs like "Is There a Ghost" became fan favorites. At Lollapalooza 2009, the band's frontman, Ben Bridwell, electrified the crowd by diving into the audience, creating an intimate connection with fans despite the festival's vastness. This performance not only highlighted the band's growing popularity but also their commitment to engaging with listeners on a personal level. It's a telling moment of a band that had found its voice and was firmly establishing its place within the indie music scene.
