Band of Horses

By August 2011, Band of Horses was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album 'Infinite Arms,' which had been released just a year earlier in May 2010. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing a more refined sound and earning them a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. Their live performance at the Hammerstein Ballroom on August 10, 2011, captured the raw emotion and anthemic quality of their music, especially in tracks like 'The Funeral,' which has become a defining song for the band. Interestingly, this song often resonates with fans for its haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics, a perfect blend for the live setting. The energy exchanged between the band and the audience during this performance highlights their connection to fans and the broader indie rock landscape at the time.
