Pyoderma in Dogs: What You Need To Know About This Skin Condition
DID HORSE THE BAND MAKE A WICKED DECISION?
"Los Angeles based NINTENDOCORE pioneers HORSE the band have decided to change their name a decade into their career.
Singer Nathan Winneke says, 'After touring Africa for the last two weeks we have had some profound experiences and decided we wanted a name that better expressed how we feel inside. We felt that it was time for our name to start expressing genuine emotion. We felt for too long we have let people criticize us for our name alone and its abstraction. It has become clear to us after 10 years. Our new name is Wicked Decision. We want people to know we are serious about our music.'"
Okay, so that strikes me as a dumb, uh, decision. You just spent a decade building up your brand, everyone knows you by one name, and now you're gonna change it? And even if you were gonna change it… Wicked Decision? Seriously? Didn't I watch that on Skinamax when I was a kid? And aren't you afraid of being confused with that awful band Will Smith's wife was in? And what the fucking fuck, dudes?
But here's the twist: I haven't seen this story reported anywhere else, I haven't gotten a press release, and there's no mention of it on HTB's official website or MySpace page. So, uh… anyone know if this is just a really late April Fool's joke or what the sitch is?

Horse The Band Loses Bassist
HORSE the Band has announced the departure of bassist Dashiel Arkenstone:
We also have some really sad news. But I can't bear to announce it yet. Well maybe I should. Most likely December 10th will be Dash's last show with us in the USA. And possibly his last ever show with us. This fucking sucks, but we get it. Dash is probably the coolest and best person I have ever met in my life. Preferring to live in shadows, 'you don't know him,' and your life is worse off as a result. But, don't feel bad about it.
Because, as he is a true gentleman, a man of tremendous character, integrity, and resolve, and a cultured spirit who has seen the world and cradled all of its possibility in the palm of his hand, he probably never wanted to meet you anyway.
This winter the band is planning to stay home to write the follow up to A Natural Death.
