monk0nuggets Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 They're definitely not the best band in the world, but they put on a pretty fun show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I was reading info on their plans for leg 2 and 3 and it's even more impressive especially for a band of their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magalvsr13 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i like this one... 5/07 Oslo, Norway @ Garage this is super cool of them to do, and theyre good guys...this board is the first place ive come across people that had negative things to say about them as people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't understand how they are going to afford doing this. There isn't any way that they are going to have sold out shows on most of this thing. Plus, I'm guessing they will need work licenses for a lot of places.

The first and maybe only time they'll play a lot of these places plus a lot of places probably don't get that many shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroc Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i don't know how or if they will pull it off but man thats awesome if it works. a trip like that would be a once in a lifetime experience. i really dig their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterfiction Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 man, that TBA venue is POPULAR. It's got more franchises than a Hard Rock Cafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Though that is true, there is still a lot of actual venues in wacky places of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickman Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If this is the first you've heard about this tour the original press release can be found at http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=290848. We are still planning a DVD, reality-TV series, and feature length documentary as well as press coverage in National Geographic, Time, Life, People, etc. We're still waiting on a few shows in China to be confirmed and the one show in Dubai. Dubai has been a nightmare to book. If anyone wants to help us out with Dubai email us at [email protected]. Anything else still TBA will be confirmed in the next week or so. Leg 2 will include all of North and Central America and will take place this summer, hopefully for the most part on Warped Tour (if Kevin Lyman can fit us in somewhere, evidently it's "full" but a few tens of thousands of emails, bribery, and straight-up blackmail could reveal an previously overlooked opening). If not we start picking off uni-haircut bands with colorful, whimsical ads in the first 30-40 pages of AP. No one will notice they're gone anyway. We'll definitely be hitting the US, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama at least. Leg 3 will be in the fall. We hope to confirm 3 weeks in Brazil on the Vans Zona Punk tour, followed by shows in any other South American countries that will have us. The last show of Earth Tour will be in South Africa. By that time, if we aren't dead, we'll have played 6 continents in one year and made the world a much, much better place by making a lot of American Internet experts on various topics who have never done anything of note with their lives (you) insanely jealous and angry. In other news, we are also pleased to announce that Christopher Lyle Prophet has left HORSE the band and has given a statement to the press outside of his West Hills home this morning, saying the decision to leave came after two other decisions were made up in his mind; the decision to "pursue other interests" and also the decision to have "cereal for breakfast". Ironically, replacing Mr. Prophet on this tour exclusively will be Mr. Jon Karel, drummer of the Number 12 Looks Like You. We have released this statement to the press: "Mr. Karel is probably like one of the top 10 drummers who has ever lived. It is thus fitting that he should now choose to play with HORSE the band. We are very grateful to him for agreeing to go on the hellish nightmare experience of seeing the world for free with us. We wish Mr. Prophet future endeavors, in general." To everyone wondering how we are paying for $50,000 of flights up front, we are using the HORSE the band Visa Platinum Business Rewards Card, which is maxed out at $22,750, as well as Erik's American Express Blue and David's CITI Diamond Preferred Rewards Mastercard. Not our parents. Also, we aren't rich, and we do plan to make all our money back and have extra at the end. Also Monster, AP, and Hot Topic are sponsoring the tour and they all helped us out a lot in different awesome ways. Thanks! If anyone wants to get in on the sponsorship action we are currently accepting money. http://www.horsetheband.com http://www.myspace.com/horsetheband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I saw a flyer somewhere for one of the China shows and it said it was like, $130, not sure if this was for real or not. I'm too lazy to go find it again, and I don't remember where I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlovecolouredx Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i ask my friend who has a sub-job as freelance d.i.y. concert organizer for help "em make a show in bangkok,thailand. one thing which make me love these guys because they not require many budget as some good song and good playing bands which always ask my friend for 3000+ usd for plan of booking. exciting for see their show on march 23rd....

bruins4ever Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That's actually beyond impressive. A band like U2 does this backed by their label... these crazy fuckers are essentially doing this by themselves. Huge props to these guys in every way if they pull this off.

bruins4ever Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 This tour will be possibly the most epic and ambitious thing ever done. I can't think of anything that can quite compare to what these guys are about the undertake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Part of me still thinks this is a HUGE joke. ...which is what Horse the Band is -- not that that's a bad thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentumlost Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have faith in them...mostly since I'm fairly certain this is their 2nd earth tour. They did this a few years ago...albeit a slightly smaller scale, but they still did an overseas tour all diy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 this is awesome. i hope this works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
