Night Horse performed at a Tee Pee Record’s day party at the Scoot Inn during SXSW. The band performed songs off their debut album The Dark Won’t Hide You which is full of heavy and blues inspired riffage. Check out some photos below.

Past Lives consisting of 3/5 of the now defunct Blood Brothers performed right before These Arms are Snakes at the Suicide Squeezeshowcase at Red Eyed Fly.
