Hold your Horses! is a seven-headed, fourteen-handed, polyphonic monster. Meshing, with the know how of proverbial idiot savants, rock and pop, wood and brass, the voices of boys with those of girls with those of foreign calls, Hold your Horses! has been exploring venues for (roughly) two years, between Paris (the Flèche d’Or, l’International, the Nouveau Casino, the Glaz’art...), the rest of France (Château-Thierry, Saint-Malo) and indeed the rest of the world (fair Verona, Brussels, Liège). In August 2010, they boarded a blue 15-seater Ford Escort designed specifically for the maximum comfort of its many members, and drove 2300 miles over pot-holed American asphalt, stopping along the way to play in New York, Boston, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, North Carolina...Hold Your Horses! are:
Charles - guitar and vocals
Florence - drums, guitar and vocals
Robin - bass guitar
Gregory - drums and vocals
Gilles - violin and keyboards
Simon - cello
Igor - wind section - trumpet, clarinet, tuba and musical saw
And they have created a brilliant video for their tune 70 Million. Maybe that's the number of hits they expect to get on YouTube. This is definitely the best music video I have seen in long long time.
70 Million
And this is just one of the many good tracks on their new album.
