An Grammatically Incorrect Horse

Fresh (and I mean fresh) off a gig on The Late Show with David Letterman, An Horse arrived at our humble school for a noon-hour concert. I'm sure the audience was a little thinner than the previous night but they slogged on regardless. The two-piece from Brisbane, Australia cranked up the amps as the female lead played fuzzy electric guitar over her male counterpart banging on the drum set, making more midday noise than any two people usually make after sundown. Songs were catchy enough with the hooks sticking in my head (as hooks are meant to do). Perhaps it was just the aussie accent that made the banter amusing as they lamented playing a noon-hour show directly after a 8+hour drive from New York. Coupled with some equipment issues the group disappointingly geared down and switched off after only a brief set. (Not to discredit them, since I did appreciate the effort, but why make the drive at all for 25 minutes?)
Though their sound may not be utterly novel it seems they are currently riding it on an upward trajectory. All the best to 'em
