Last night I saw The City & Horses play at R Bar. R Bar is kind of a weird place - it looks like a strip club because everything is red and there are poles everywhere, but then on the walls are pictures of rock icons like Blondie... Wasn't really sure what they were going for with the decor. Plus the sound wasn't mixed all that well and there was maybe one light shining on the stage.
But anyway, The City & Horses were fun. They're a a rather large band with 6 members - lead singer, lead guitar player, bass player, drummer, saxophone/clarinet player and flutist. Some of my favorite moments in the concert were these pretty little clarinet/flute duets.
The band was relatively laid back, although the lead singer seemed super psyched about the show. He was quite the ball of energy. Everyone seemed to be having fun though. I liked a lot of their songs (better than I expected to in fact), and one stuck out to me in particular - Abigail Adams, a sweet little love song about Abigail and John Adams. I also thought it was a much more unique sentiment than the band who played before them (of which I only caught their last song, but the lyrics were "a rolling stone gathers no moss").

Sorry I don't have any pictures to share. But here are a few tracks to sample:
