SXSW review: An Horse
On the scale of drummer/guitarist rock groups, with Mates of State on one end and the White Stripes on the other, An Horse falls roughly in between. The indie rock duo from Brisbane, Australia made up of guitarist/singer Kate Cooper and drummer Damon Cox (each from other bands) played after Local Natives at 10 p.m. Friday at the Galaxy Room Backyard. They’ve got one album and a new EP under their belts, and have spent time touring with Canadian rock group Tegan and Sarah.
They started the set off on a tough note with a blown-out amp. Fortunately, they replaced it quickly, and got on with their set. Though Cooper handled most of the singing, Cox joined in quite a bit. He’s a talented drummer, and it was fun to see him play and sing at the same time. Cooper wasn’t doing anything particularly interesting on the guitar, but she had great vocal chops and was quite the ham on stage. At one point she had a back and forth with several audience members: Audience: “I like your guitar!” Cooper: “I like you too!” Audience: “Thanks for coming back!” Cooper: “Thanks for having us?”
