Race Horses were a Welsh band based in Cardiff, Wales and originally from Aberystwyth. Formed in 2005 as Radio Luxembourg, they changed their name in 2009 due to possible legal problems with the radio station of the same name. Initially the majority of their music was in Welsh,[1] but their final album Furniture was entirely in English.[2][3]
The band announced their split in January 2013 and performed a farewell gig the following month at Clwb Ifor Bach.[4]
Gwion Llewelyn now plays drums for band Yr Ods; Alun Gaffey continues solo as a singer-songwriter; Meilyr Jones has played bass with Neon Neon on their 2013 live shows supporting the album Praxis Makes Perfect and is now a solo musician. He's also collaborated on the Cousins project with Euros Childs, their album released in 2012.
