PICK OF THE WEEK: Band of Horses @ Echo
Seattle’s Band of Horses are quietly crafting some of the most beautiful, evocative American guitar pop today. They get mentioned alongside My Morning Jacket all the time, but the truth is, their LP Everything All The Time is better than that other band’s last one. See this band by all means.

Admitting to liking L.A.’s The Like is often qualified as a guilty pleasure, especially if one is A) over the age of 20, B) male, or C) male and over the age of 20. Sure we’ve heard all the old records and genres they’ve heard and reference: Brit-Pop, shoegaze, Pretenders, Lush, Throwing Muses, Radiohead, and so on. But they somehow they pull it all together and they look good doing it. What more do you want in a pop band?

UPDATE: The contest has ended. Congrats to the winners and thanks to all who entered. Tickets for the show are available here or at the door.

[...] The chain of events that led to meeting Jeremy in a cramped back alley adjacent to the Avalon last Monday is a lengthy one any way you slice it, but to my knowledge it began with yours truly being out of town when Seattle’s Band of Horses played the Echo last June. Let us now hearken back to Monday eve and switch to the present tense. [...]
