They Shoot Horses, Don't They? is an 8 piece band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Their debut album Boo Hoo Hoo Boo was released on the Kill Rock Stars label February 21, 2006. Their startling energetic live shows have won them listeners and even dancers throughout Canada where they have shared the stage with bands like The Unicorns and Xiu Xiu. They have a distinctive noisy oompa sound thanks to a horn section. The band has been compared to the likes of Danielson Famile, Captain Beefheart and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. Lyrical themes of desperation, betrayal and hardship are brought to interesting light in this overly joyful jittery music.
