There are at least three bands called The Horrors:

1) An indie rock band from Essex, England.
2) A garage rock/punk band from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
3) An American psychedelic rock band active in the 1960s.

1) The Horrors are an indie rock band which formed in 2006 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, United Kingdom. The band consists of Faris Badwan (vocals), Joshua Hayward (guitar), Tom Cowan (keyboards), Rhys Webb (bass) and Joseph Spurgeon (drums). The band has released three full-length albums: 2007’s Strange House, 2009’s Primary Colours, and 2011’s Skying (the latter being recorded by the band in their own London studio built by Hayward).

Formed by ace faces of the East London and Southend-on-Sea angular scene in 2006, The Horrors have released twelve singles, three albums, and an EP in the US. They have been featured on the front cover of the NME, despite their singles being so limited that they are now considered collector’s items.

After releasing several singles they released their debut album, Strange House, in 2007. Strange House is primarily a garage rock album with elements of horror punk, and the album contains several of the Horrors’ previous singles. They made a number of festival appearances throughout 2007 to support the album, including appearances at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, various Scandinavian festivals, the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, and the Splendour in the Grass Festival in Australia. They have also supported the Arctic Monkeys.

    The only thing that sucked at cultura inglesa were the closed minded franz ferdinand fans/people who where there because it was free and were completely uninterested on the other bands.

    Foi muito amor no cultura inglesa mas ainda acho que podia ter tido algo do strange house já que foi o primeiro show no brasil.

    Melhor show da minha vida, sem dúvida. Pulei, dancei, brisei como nunca, e valeu a pena. Moving Futher Away ao vivo foi indescritível

    @ima_fish: Why didn't you Google for their recent setlists before you bought a ticket? They haven't played Strange House live in years and they've always played short sets.
