Band of Horses

In June 2011, Band of Horses was riding high on the wave of their third studio album, "Infinite Arms," which had been released the previous year. This album marked a significant milestone for the band, as it garnered them a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album and showcased their evolution into a more polished sound while retaining their indie roots. The performance of "Wicked Gil" at the Southside Festival captures the band's energetic vibe perfectly, reflecting their growing fanbase and confidence on stage. Notably, they played at this festival around the time they were gaining international recognition, highlighting their presence in the indie rock scene. Their ability to weave emotional storytelling into both their studio recordings and live performances is something that resonates deeply with fans and makes moments like these even more memorable.
