Dark Horses reveal new single Live On Hunger

The last eighteen months for the sonic soul art rockers DARK HORSES has been characteristically packed with both precision and abandon. Having toured extensively in Europe and Australia as hand-picked guests for the likes of Beck, Sigor Ros, Tame Impala, Kasabian and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the group also performed a now legendary and riotous set at the Olympic Park’s Hard Rock Calling Festival. A personal invitation to join Noel Gallagher at last years Teenage Cancer Trust benefit then followed, leading to yet another acclaimed performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Meanwhile, the single ‘Radio’ found it’s way onto the BBC 6Music A-list and saw the group win Artrocker’s ‘single of the year’, while Dark Horses also contributed - along with Iggy Pop - a song to last winters ‘A Psych Christmas’ album. Dark Horses also added their version of ‘Hello I Love You’ to a Doors covers album with fellow comrades Clinic, Black Angels and Dead Meadow, and lead singer Lisa Elle found time to bring grace and guest vocals to the Jon Hopkins Mercury Music Prize nominated album ‘Immunity’.

Now Dark Horses have announced their return with the release of a brand new single ‘Live On Hunger' (out April 7th), as well as a mammoth 18-date headline European tour and news of their long-awaited sophomore album ‘Hail Lucid State’, released this coming May on the Crystal Castles imprint, Last Gang Records.

Again produced by long time collaborator Richard Fearless (Death In Vegas), ‘Hail Lucid State’ marks the ‘Horses first release since last year’s sinisterly stunning and critically acclaimed debut ‘Black Music’. It also marks a whole new breed of Horse music. If ‘Black Music’ was ‘psych-tronica opiated soulscapes’, ‘Hail Lucid State’ is burning anxious punk pop, a progressive collection bursting with outright hit singles. Their floating transcendental synths now buried under a pioneering blend of Siouxie and The Banshees meets T-Rex. Urgent, catchy, and irresistible.

2013 also witnessed Dark Horses not only carve out their own niche of fanatical supporters, but saw them win widespread support from the likes of NME, Clash Magazine, Artrocker, Dazed & Confused, Mojo and The Sunday Times.   

‘Live On Hunger’ will be released on April 7th 2014 through Last Gang Records. The new album ‘Hail Lucid State’ will be released later this year, also through Last Gang Records. Dark Horses will embark on an 18-date European headline tour this March.

Dark Horses Announce release of new Single Radio

Dark Horses Announce release of new Single Radio on 23rd July 2012

Fronted by Swedish siren Lisa Elle, a holy communion of Grace Slick and Siouxsie Sioux, Dark Horses are a leather-clad, neo rock outfit, whose name is proudly emblazons upon their black motorcycle jackets… gang chic style, along with the band’s motif… the mysterious red pyramid and the all seeing eye.  Dark Horses come across as Stooges meets the Manson Family, mixed with Andy Warhol’s Factory art collective. And this only fuels the band’s mystique. Whatever the fuck they are. All you need to know is… Dark Horses mean it.

Dark Horses will perform at the Electrowerkz on Wednesday 13^th June’12 where they will present their own unique blend of Banshee’s guitar invocation, mixed with an healthy dose of Krautrock. Having already done tours with both Kasabian and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in the not too distant pass, this will be a night, I promise you won’t want to miss.

Dark Horses are:                                                                                                  

Lisa Elle: Vocals/Harmonica – Bobby Waterson: Guitar/Organ – Andy Bang: Guitar – Steve Ingham: Drums – Harry Bohay-Nowell: Electric bass – Tommy Chain – Percussion/Chains – Ali Tollervey: Camera

Mummy when I grow up, can I be a Dark Horse?

Dark Horses To Headline A Rare Show At Electrowerkz

Mummy, what are Dark Horses? Good question. Maybe we should ask Serge Pizzorno from Kasabian to answer this, for he’s never going to forget his first introduction to the band in a hurry. Now is he?

Little did Serge Pizzorno know that when he pressed PLAY on his Cape Town tour bus CD player to first listen to DARK HORSES, that before the song was over he would be surrounded by two armed response team’s, pushing revolver’s in his face demanding him to stop this ‘disturbing and unholy clamour’... consequently the band toured with the Kasabian on their last UK tour, which also included 2 nights at Wembley Arena.

The band’s debut album will be released in the autumn by Last Gang Entertainment. It was recorded in Chicago’s Key Club studios with Richard Fearless from Death In Vegas.

The event also features a performance from Stockhausen student and current Brian Eno collaborator: singer songwriter artist
