Night Horse is a five-piece hard rock band residing in Los Angeles.
Biography[]
Night Horse began in late January 2008. Their early work was under the moniker The Mother Fucking Razorbacks, a name that Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead coined after meeting them in front of Hollywood's Hustler store. The band had come together to play straight forward rock n roll music. Vocalist Sam Velde was recommended to the group, who were actively seeking a front man. After having disbanded his former band and spent the past few years developing his eclectic record label , Sam was eager to rejoin the ranks of the rockers.[1]
Soon after the lineup was set the band changed their name. With the idea of music being a thing of the night, and a 'swift kick and a gallop' to the heart brought the name Night Horse. Songs were written, performed live, and recorded, all over the short course of a few months.[1][2] The band's song "Come Down Halo" is featured in the soundtrack of the video game "MLB 10: The Show."
Influences[]
The 5-piece initially bonded over a common love of bands like the Alice Cooper Group, early Aerosmith, Van Halen, Sir Lord Baltimore and ZZ Top. Over time the group developed a sound equally informed by such bands as The Allman Brothers Band, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Thin Lizzy, Cactus, early blues-rock like Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and more modern rock bands like Soundgarden.[3]
